What is the summary for chapter 1?

In Chapter 1, the reader gets their first introduction to
the main character.  The origin of Pooh bear's name is evident, as well as the
introduction to Christopher Robin and some of the other characters in the 100 Acre
Wood.  The conflict with which Pooh bear must struggle with in the first chapter is the
presence of the "buzzing sound" that he hears.  This presence means that bees are near,
and with bees comes the bane of Pooh's existence in honey.  Pooh Bear reflects and
contemplates different situations in which he can obtain their honey.  One of the
involves him pretending that he is a rain cloud, and this plan requires Christopher
Robin's participation in saying, "Tut, tut- it looks like rain."  Our introduction to
Pooh is one where we are aware that he is "a bear of very little brain."  At the same
time, we understand Pooh as one who is quite surface in how he sees reality.  The
emotional depth and complexity of Pooh bear is not quite as evident in this chapter.  At
the same time, it becomes essential and important to note that some of the side
characters are brought out in this chapter, with more to come in subsequent
chapters.
