The Twits
Let's revisit our childhood by recalling a tale by Roald Dahl, The Twits.
The twits were an English couple with the last name "Twit" and they aspired to have an upside-down monkey circus. They had a family of monkeys locked up in a small cage and these monkeys had to stand upside-down as part of their training. (What a distorted worldview imposed on the monkeys!)
The Twits ate Bird-pie every Wednesday although I believe the monkeys didn't even get peanuts.
In the end, the Twits were outwitted when the monkeys' friend, the Roly-Poly Bird came to their rescue. (External influences are bad!)
The monkeys took their revenge by turning the Twits' house upside-down. To re-orientate themselves, the Twits put their heads to the ground and got glued to the ground.
I want a Roly-Poly Bird.

Laughs. I remember that book. It was such a long time ago that I read that one. Was still a kid.
I would like a roly poly bird too. And a BFG as a bonus!
No harm having Matilda's brain too!
We could all get a Golden Ticket and get out of here!
