If approved, the measure would suspend the $31.4 trillion debt ceiling until January of 2025. PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN: We've reached a bipartisan budget agreement that we're ready to move to the full Congress.Īnd it needs to pass Congress by next week. Milne was a noted writer, primarily as a playwright, before the huge success of Pooh overshadowed all his previous work.House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and President Biden agreed on a deal to raise the debt ceiling. The author: Alan Alexander Milne (18 January 1882 – 31 January 1956) was an English author, best known for his books about the teddy bear Winnie-the-Pooh and for various children's poems. The book closes with the narrator remarking, "Wherever they go, and whatever happens to them on the way, in that enchanted place on the top of the Forest, a little boy and his Bear will always be playing." Pooh and Christopher Robin climb a hill overlooking the Hundred Acre Wood and say a long, private farewell, in which Pooh promises not to forget him. In the end, they say goodbye to Christopher Robin. It is made obvious, though not stated explicitly, that he is starting school. Hints that Christopher Robin is growing up, scattered throughout the book, come to a head in the final chapter, in which the inhabitants of the Hundred Acre Wood throw him a farewell party after learning that he must leave them soon. The only exception to this is with Chapters 8 and 9 – Chapter 9 carries directly on from the end of Chapter 8, as the characters search for a new house for Owl, his house having been blown down in the previous chapter. As with the first book, the chapters are mostly in episodic format and can be read independently of each other. In another story, the game of Poohsticks is invented. It is notable for the introduction of the character Tigger. The title comes from a story in which Winnie-the-Pooh and Piglet build a house for Eeyore.
