What is the best that you can do for someone who is mean to you? Give them a dose of their own medicine, of course! George, however, seems to have taken this literally and intends to concoct a magic medicine for his mean old grandma. Yes, that’s right. He’s going to blend in every random ingredient he finds and create a magic medicine out of these substances. No, he’s not stupid. He is going to add brown paint to this mixture to make it look like the original medicine and his horrid grandma will never know the difference. Off he goes into the kitchen and starts putting together all the ingredients. Here is an amusing list of what the medicine contains - deodorant, shampoo, floor polish, horseradish sauce, gin, animal medicines, engine oil, anti-freeze, and finally, the brown paint for colour. When he is done cooking the ingredients, George gives his grandma some of the medicine and waits. Well, something did happen. Something that left George dumbfounded and at awe of his new, marvellous medicine. Can you guess what it might be?

Roald Dahl ( 13 September 1916 � 23 November 1990) was a British novelist, short story writer, and screenwriter.
Born in Llandaff, Wales, to Norwegian parents, Dahl served in the Royal Air Force during the Second World War, in which he became a flying ace and intelligence agent. He rose to prominence in the 1940s with works for both children and adults, and became one of the world's bestselling authors. His short stories are known for their unexpected endings, and his children's books for their unsentimental, often very dark humour.
Some of his more well-known works include James and the Giant Peach, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Fantastic Mr Fox, Matilda, The Witches, and The BFG.
