Extract from George's Marvellous Medicine by Roald Dahl

The

Naughty Grandma is back 😂

George went into the kitchen and made Grandma a cup of tea with a teabag. He put one spoon of sugar in it and no milk. He stirred the sugar well and carried the cup into the living room. Grandma sipped the tea. ‘It’s not sweet enough,’ she said. ‘Put more sugar in’. George took the cup back to the kitchen and added another spoonful of sugar. He stirred it again and carried it carefully in to Grandma.

‘Where’s the saucer?’ she said. ‘I won’t have a cup without a saucer.’

George fetched her a saucer.

‘And what about a teaspoon, if you please?’ ‘I’ve stirred it for you, Grandma. I stirred it well.’

‘I’ll stir my own tea, thank you very much,’ she said. ‘Fetch me a teaspoon.’

George fetched her a teaspoon.

When George’s mother or father were home, Grandma never ordered George about like this. It was only when she had him on her own that she began treating him badly.
