But it did tell you:

;; This buffer is for notes you don't want to save, and for Lisp evaluation.
;; If you want to create a file, visit that file with C-x C-f,
;; then enter the text in that file's own buffer.

Try adding this to your .emacs file:

(save-excursion
   (set-buffer "*scratch*")
   (setq buffer-offer-save t))
