That's twelve in total, per diem.

Nate Bunce is a duck and goose farmer.

He's approximately the size of a

pot-bellied dwarf,

...and his chin would be under water

in the shallow end...

...of any swimming pool

on the planet.

His food is home-made doughnuts...

...with smashed-up goose livers

injected into them.

Frank Bean is a turkey and apple farmer.

He invented his own species of each.

He lives on a liquid diet of strong,

alcoholic cider...

...which he makes from his apples.

He's as skinny as a pencil,

as smart as a whip...

...and possibly the scariest man

currently living.

The local human children

sing a kind of...

...eerie little rhyme about him.

Here, listen to this.

Boggis, Bunce, and Bean.

One fat, one short, one lean.

These horrible crooks,

so different in looks,

...were nonetheless equally mean.

In summation, I think

you just got to not do it, man.

That's all.

I understand what you're saying,

and your comments are valuable,

...but I'm gonna ignore your advice.

The cuss you are!

The cuss am I?

- Are you cussing with me?

- No, you cussing with me?

- Don't cussing point at me!

- You can cuss yourself!

- You're not gonna cuss with me, you little cuss!

- Don't cuss with me!

- Just buy the tree.

- Okay.

Take a left and then to the right.

Set them down.

Just another batch.

Help that other guy over there.

Lift with legs not with your back.

Flip it sideways.

Don't try to be a superman here.

Alright. We got two circles.

We got the yellow circle

and the green circle.

Let's just keep them separate.

Hold it right there.

We need to bring about

two percent more in.

Good. Here we go.

A little bit more. A little bit more.

That's good.

Let's just that bottom structure

resettled in.

Let's bring in the side unit.

Watch out!

Try to be careful, you guys.

Don't... don't peel away the bark.

Hi.

- Hi.

He's slightly younger,

but he's a cuss of a lot bigger.

That's just genetics, I guess.

Ash has a littler body-type.

Go!

Watch this, Dad!

Well, well...

Good jump, Ash!

Remember to keep your tail tucked!

Still painting thunderstorms, I see.

Do you still feel poor?

Lesser.

Wow! Wow!

Look at that!

This kid's a natural!

I'm speechless, Kristofferson!

Plus, he knows karate.

Do you think I'm an athlete?

- What are you talking about?

- Well, you know, I think I'm an athlete,

...and sometimes I feel like

you guys don't see me that way.

What's the sub-text here?

Is he praying?

I think that's yoga.

How long is Kristofferson supposed to

stay with us?

- Until your uncle gets better.

- Right, but roughly...

...how long do we plan to

give him on that?

Double-pneumonia isn't even really

Roald Dahl

Roald Dahl (English: , Norwegian: [ˈruːɑl ˈdɑːl]; 13 September 1916 – 23 November 1990) was a British novelist, short story writer, poet, screenwriter, and fighter pilot. His books have sold more than 250 million copies worldwide.Born in Wales to Norwegian immigrant parents, Dahl served in the Royal Air Force during the Second World War. He became a flying ace and intelligence officer, rising to the rank of acting wing commander. He rose to prominence as a writer in the 1940s with works for both children and adults, and he became one of the world's best-selling authors. He has been referred to as "one of the greatest storytellers for children of the 20th century". His awards for contribution to literature include the 1983 World Fantasy Award for Life Achievement, and the British Book Awards' Children's Author of the Year in 1990. In 2008, The Times placed Dahl 16th on its list of "The 50 greatest British writers since 1945".Dahl's short stories are known for their unexpected endings, and his children's books for their unsentimental, macabre, often darkly comic mood, featuring villainous adult enemies of the child characters. His books champion the kindhearted, and feature an underlying warm sentiment. Dahl's works for children include James and the Giant Peach, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Matilda, The Witches, Fantastic Mr Fox, The BFG, The Twits and George's Marvellous Medicine. His adult works include Tales of the Unexpected. more…
