twit 단어의 뜻이 나뭇가지인줄 알았는데 '멍청이'라는 뜻이네요.

나뭇가지는 twig 이구요...ㅎㅎ

덤앤더버 버금가게 우끼는 부부가 나옵니다. 게다가 아주 더럽습니다. ㅋㅋㅋ

이 바보들이 서로에게 학대하는 거랑 동물들 학대하다가 어떻게 되는지 내용이 아주 재밌게 전개됩니다.

저 두 멍청이 부부가 위 그림처럼 왜 저러고 있는지 궁금하시면.... 보시면 됩니다. ㅋㅋ

후다닭~ 다 읽었네요... 로알드 달 시리즈 중에서 난이도가 낮은편입니다.

The Twits is a humorous children's book written by Roald Dahl and illustrated by Quentin Blake. It was written in 1979, and first published in 1980. The Twits was adapted for the stage in November 2007.^[1]

The idea of The Twits was triggered by Dahl's desire to "do something against beards", because he had an acute hatred of them. The first sentence of the story is, "What a lot of hairy-faced men there are around nowadays!"

Plot[edit]

A hideous, vindictive, spiteful couple known as the Twits live together in a brick house without windows (Mr. Twit reasons that this stops people looking in on them, not taking into account that windows are intended to be used for looking out rather than in). They continuously play nasty practical jokes on each other out of hatred for one another, ranging from Mr. Twit hiding a frog in his wife's bed that he claims is a monster to Mrs. Twit tricking her husband into eating worms in spaghetti. They also keep a family of pet monkeys, the Muggle-Wumps. The Twits, who are retired circus trainers, are trying to form the first upside down monkey circus, leaving the monkeys to stand on their heads for hours on end.

If they fail to do what Mr. Twit says, Mrs. Twit beats them with her cane. Mr. Twit also coats tree limbs with a strong sticky glue in hopes of catching birds for Mrs. Twit to make into a bird pie. The monkeys try to warn the birds, but since the monkeys speak in an African language, the English birds cannot understand them, so the poor birds wind up boiling in Mrs. Twit's pie.

One week, the Roly-Poly bird flies in from Africa to visit the monkeys, and acting as an interpreter of languages, keeps the birds from sitting anywhere Mr. Twit has spread glue. Mr. Twit tries several times to catch the birds, spreading the glue on an increasing number of perches, but the Roly-Poly bird changes his warning to reflect the new traps. Tired of chasing the birds, the Twits decide to buy guns to kill them.

The Muggle-Wumps, tired of being forced to stand on their heads, with the help of the birds, use Mr. Twit's powerful glue to attach the couple's furniture to their ceiling while they are away to trick them into thinking that they are upside-down and that their ceiling is actually their floor. The birds also smear glue on the Twits' heads, which permanently fixes them to the ground when a panicked Mr. Twit suggests that they stand on their heads so that they are 'the right way up' after they first walk into the upside-down living room. Stuck on their heads with all their weight pressing down on them, they catch the "Terrible Shrinks" (a disease that Mr. Twit had convinced Mrs. Twit that she had earlier in the book as one of the aforementioned pranks), their bodies compressing 'downwards' so that they eventually shrink away into nothing, leaving the Muggle-Wumps free to escape.
