"George's Marvelous Medicine"

by Roald Dahl

This story is about a boy named George. One day George sits himself down at the table in the kitchen. He was shaking a little. Oh, how he hated his grandma! He really hated the horrid old witchy woman. And all of a sudden, he had a tremendous urge to do something about her. Something whopping. Something absolutely terrific.

He may have been only 8 years old, but he was a brave little boy. He was ready to take this woman on. So he goes to the attic and looks for some stuff. He gets some shampoo, toothpaste, face cream, nail polish, hair remover, a dandruff cure, cleaning for false teeth, ant spray, hair spray, pink plaster, lipstick and more. Finally he said, "Done!"

To find out what his grandma's reaction was, read "George's Marvelous Medicine."
