Pooh had gained prestige and had garnered a huge reputation within the bear tribe at this point. He had found many plants and thought of many new things to enrich the lives of the bear tribe. Today was a special day for him, as 3 of his biggest projects were finally coming to a close on the same day!
These 3 tasks had been his sole focus and had commanded his attention with every waking hour. He alone pondered over these problems and attempted to find the solutions to every problem that cropped up along the way. Pooh gained immense authority within the tribe as he went to and from each professional and asked for guidance on certain topics.
Pooh quickly became a role model for the youth of the bear tribe, who all started to follow his example and started their own "projects". These cubs would go around and ask any elder who knew a thing or two about their knowledge. The elders were very happy and very excited that the new generation of students were so information hungry and gladly satisfied their requests.
Like this Pooh had also gained the favor of pretty much the entire tribe, and unbeknownst to him, his status in the eyes of his kin was greater than that of the chief. In their eyes, Pooh was a shining star that seemed to guide the way, while the old king, while still wise in his rule, had long faded from his previous brilliance.
Pooh came to the first project site, which was the area where the first plant the chief had him scan was. This area would simply be named the "cold food area", as it was carved in such a way that flowers that created cold would completely dissipate all heat! Speaking of flowers, the original flower had been pollinated by a friendly butterfly at Pooh's request and now they had many more flowers growing beautifully around the cave.
Pooh smiled and then turned around to the chief, the council of paws and about a quarter of the tribe standing there. Pooh said,"Thank you all for coming, this is the first project I wish to show you all today! This is a cold cave I have created where we can store our hunted kills. Just like in the winter, we will store them in this cave, however now we can also do this through summer as well!"

Pooh received much applause and cheers. The chief and the councilors asked him some hard questions but Pooh was able to answer them easily, easing their doubts and worries greatly.
Pooh had all of them follow him to the next location. In this location, a small shack was assembled. Pooh walked inside while having all of the others wait outside.
After a few seconds of bated breaths, a loud "Crack!" was heard as the shack seemingly collapsed under the wait of itself!
The chief screamed out in horror,"NOOO!!!" His scream, as if he had just watched his own son die, was chilling to everyone else present. Everyone present had worry and great sadness in their hearts at this moment.
Then to their amazement, Pooh walked up in a black-leather suit that almost fully encompassed him...
Everyone gawked at his appearance and the chief rushed up to him and almost shouted in his face,"ARE YOU OK?!"
Pooh put up his hands and quickly replied,"Calm chief, calm. I apologize, that was simply my way of showing you a new type of plant to grow more of. In the farm a little bit farther up the path, their is a plant that can-"
The chief exhaled his breath and said,"Dammit boy! You almost killed my soul with that stunt just now!"
Pooh looked slightly ashamed and said,"I apologize sir.. I won't do it again."
Chief regained his bearings and his demeanor. He nodded and responded,"Make sure to always prioritize your own safety above all else, do not needlessly put yourself in a dangerous situation, only fools do such a thing!" His hardened face softened up and then he continued with,"Now, what does your new plant do?"
Pooh was a little caught off guard by the sudden life advice but decided to just think about the chief's words later, they were wise words afterall. Pooh then said,"Ok sir, the second project is based on an uncommon plant one of the scouts found called "Black Syrup Tulip" and a new tool I made to apply the syrup onto leather equipment. When the syrup is applied in a certain way, the integrity and defensive capabilities of the leather become much greater than before!"

The chief was ecstatic and he hurriedly asked,"Pooh, please, do not keep this old bear in suspense any longer. Please tell me about your final project!"
Pooh frowned and said,"Ok.. I cannot demonstrate why this plant is called a "Lemarang Float Rose", so I will give the final product to the chief to show off!"
Pooh then handed a small vase-like bowl to the chief that contained an unknown, murky white substance.
The chief gulped, nodded in understanding and trust the Pooh would not hand him something that could kill him and under the instruction of Pooh, drank the liquid within the bowl. Immediately after finishing the bowl, Pooh yelled as loud as he could at the chief,"IT ONLY LASTS 30 SECONDS!!"
The chief, the councilors, and everyone else were surprised and caught off guard. They were very confused, until they all noticed it.
The chief was no longer touching the ground! The chief was now floating about half his height off the ground and slowly moving up!
