Second book: "The Marvellous Medicine" by Roald Dahl
George's irritating Grandma had started to torture George again by asking him to do a lot of things when his parents were not at home. George could not resist his Grandma's attitude, so he wanted to create a medicine for his Grandma to eat so that she would treat him more politely. During the medicine time, George mixed a weird concoction made up of many ingredients such as shampoos, toothpastes, animal pills, floor polisher, a variety of powders, a handful of grease, engine oil and many other substances. He cooked them as fast as he could so that Grandma would not suspect him to change the medicine into the weird concoction. When Grandma had a spoonful of George's medicine, weird things started to happen: Grandma felt suddenly very hot, her body started to expand, Grandma started to grow and finally she was higher than the roof. She asked for more medicine so that she would grow higher. George tried the effect of this medicine towards the chicken their parents had breed. As expected, the chicken began to grow bigger. When George's parents returned, they was surprised. George's father was a person who liked money very much, he did not care to save Grandma, but he asked George to create more such medicine. But George had forgotten the process and the ingredients he had used in the making of the medicine. The chickens and goats who had sipped in the medicine began to grow awkwardly, like none of their parts grew except their necks, none of their parts grew except legs. After a few tries, Grandma started to feel impatient and asked George to make her returned to the original size. So George boiled a medicine again, but Grandma shrunk gradually and did not stop. At last, she shrunk into nothing and disappeared.
