by Roald Dahl
Vengeance is Mine, INC.
Part 1
Narrator: This story happened in New York
in winter 1946. I was living with my friend
George. We didn’t have any work and life was
hard.
George: We need some money.
Narrator: Look at this. The journalist
Pantaloon says the banker Womberg has
a mistress.
George: Womberg will be angry.
Narrator: I’ve got it! Womberg is rich and
angry with Pantaloon. We will punch
Pantaloon and Womberg will give us a lot
of money.
George: You are a genius!
Narrator: And look. Pantaloon writes
unpleasant things about a lot of other
people.
George: We will send them all letters.
Narrator: They can pay us, too!
George: What will our services be?
Narrator: So we started our company.
George:
VENGEANCE IS MINE INC.:
One: Broken nose: $500
Two: Black eye: $600
Three: A rattlesnake in his car: $1,500
We will be rich!
Narrator: The same day we got an answer
from Womberg. And more people wrote to us.
Narrator: Listen to this: ‘Please do
everything on the list.’ From Womberg.
George: And we have three more customers!
Narrator: The day of our first job came. We
were sitting in our 1934 Chevrolet in front
of the club and we were getting ready for
Pantaloon.
Narrator: You will punch Pantaloon.
George: What about you?
Narrator: I will wait in the car.
So George went to talk to the doorman. He
wanted Pantaloon to come out of the club.
George: Can you give my message to Mr
Pantaloon, please?
Doorman: Give me the note!
Narrator: Finally Pantaloon came out.
Pantaloon: What is it?
George: Come on, I don’t want to talk here.
Narrator: And George did it, he hit Pantaloon
very hard.

Part 2
Narrator: The end of the story of Vengeance is
Mine, Inc.
George: We did it! Did you see?
Narrator: Nice work, George! Well done!
George: I hit him so hard!
Narrator: Womberg will be happy.
George: And our other customers can pay
us, too!
Narrator: They will all be happy.
George: There’s a car behind us! It’s
following us! Drive! Quickly!
Narrator: It’s just another car.
George: It’s still with us. Drive fast! We must
lose him!
Narrator: How can we lose a police car in
a 1934 Chevrolet? I have to stop.
George: No! Don’t stop!
Narrator: It’s too late.
George: Quick! Run!
Narrator: Don’t be an idiot! Stay where you
are. You can’t run now.
Gollogly: All right boys. Are you in a hurry?
Narrator: No, we’re just going home.
George: We want to get home quickly
because of the snow.
Gollogly: Well, relax. I want to give you the
money right away. I saw you. You did a fine
job for me. I’m paying you double. It was
so funny! Goodbye, boys. But be careful,
they’ll be after you now. Get out of town.
Goodbye.

Narrator: Home, finally! Start packing!
George: Are you crazy? Wait a few hours and
we will get more money from the other
customers. Then we can go anywhere we
want.
Narrator: OK, we can stay until tomorrow
morning.
Narrator: The next morning.
George: Look at the newspaper: ‘Brutal
attack on famous journalist’.
Narrator: And there are two more letters
with money!
George: If we bet it on a horse race, we’ll
make more money. Then we can have
whiskey and fast cars!
Narrator: We can move to Florida, where it’s
sunny every day! We can live in a hotel, with
a swimming pool and beautiful women and
lots to drink! We can visit Monte Carlo and
go to casinos! That’s something!
George: Yeah, that is something!

Legends from
the British Isles
The Legend of the Unicorn
‘You want to put me in prison because
I’m not afraid of you!’ said Simon. ‘You’re
a greedy man. The people of this village are
hungry because you take all their money.’
‘Be quiet!’ cried Sir Brangwyn angrily. ‘You’ll
be quiet in prison, Simon Grimstone!’
Simon’s wife, Marian, was standing behind
her husband and started crying. ‘Take his
wife too,’ said Sir Brangwyn. ‘She can work
in the castle kitchen and pay for the food
her husband eats.’ ‘Oh, please don’t take me
away from my daughter,’ said Marian, crying.
‘There’s no one who can look after her. She’ll
be alone!’ ‘Please, don’t take my mother
away!’ cried Rhiannon. But the Lord’s men
didn’t listen to Rhiannon and took her
parents away. ‘When can I see my parents
again?’ she asked, crying. The Lord’s men
laughed and rode away. The villagers were
angry but they could do nothing. After that
day they called Rhiannon ‘Sir Brangwyn’s
orphan’.
Rhiannon went inside her house and sat by
the small fire in the cold room. She was very
sad and lonely. ‘What will I do without my
parents?’ she thought. ‘I must find a job.’
Sir Brangwyn liked eating all kinds of food,
but truffles were his favourite. It was very
hard to find them because they grew under
the ground, on the roots of trees. Rhiannon
decided to look for truffles for Sir Brangwyn.
Now she had a job. Every morning Rhiannon
went to the forest with a big basket. She
looked for truffles all day long. At the end of
the day she looked in her basket but she saw
very few truffles. ‘I only found three truffles
today,’ she thought sadly. ‘And Sir Brangwyn
wants lots of them for his dinners! He’ll be
angry. How can I find more truffles?’
At night she always thought about her poor
father and mother.
Sir Brangwyn liked hunting in the forest with
his knights. He often rode through the forest
when Rhiannon was looking for truffles. He
and his men always made a lot of noise and
scared the animals.
The villagers said there were strange animals
in Sir Brangwyn’s forest… like unicorns and
dragons.

How to Give Your Point
of View
Marty: This is the best movie of all time.
The Matrix is really cool, and the fight
scenes are great!
Jake: Transformers 4 was rubbish! I was so
bored that I fell asleep.
Frank: I just love this film! Despicable Me is
great fun!
Patrick: I thought Boxtrolls was okay.
Nothing special.
Joey: Planet of the Apes was sad in the end.
People were cruel to the animals really.
Nicola: I like to read the book first. Then
I watch the movie. The final part of Harry
Potter was thrilling.
Carrie: The book, The Hobbit, is very slow.
But it’s nice to read, I guess.
Jessica: The original Wizard of Oz is very
creepy. The colours are very strong, and
everyone looks weird. I love it!
Suzanne: This animated Oz movie is for little
kids. It was a big yawn for me.

Lorde
Royals
I’ve never seen a diamond in the flesh
I cut my teeth on wedding rings in the movies
And I’m not proud of my address, in the torn up
town
No post code envy
Chorus 1:
But every song’s like gold teeth, Grey Goose,
trippin’ in the bathroom
Bloodstains, ball gowns, trashin’ the hotel room,
We don’t care, we’re driving Cadillacs in our
dreams
But everybody’s like Cristal, Maybach,
diamonds
on your time piece.
Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash.
We don’t care, we aren’t caught up in your
love affair.
Chorus 2:
And we’ll never be royals
It don’t run in our blood,
That kind of lux just ain’t for us.
We crave a different kind of buzz.
Let me be your ruler, you can call me queen B
And baby I’ll rule I’ll rule I’ll rule I’ll rule.
Let me live that fantasy.
My friends and I we’ve cracked the code.
We count our dollars on the train to the party.
And everyone who knows us knows that we’re
fine with this,
We didn’t come from money.
Chorus 1
Chorus 2
Oooh ooooh ohhh
We’re bigger than we ever dreamed, and I’m in
love with being queen.

Cut Copy Me
I breathe you in when you are near
I hide my coyness and fear
Don’t let the light grow dim
It’s just you and I in the moonlight air
Cut copy me I’m all yours
You’re the shoreline I see when I’m off course
I want you to hold me forever, make it last
Forget the others from my past
I seek you in the depths of the night
Like a beacon of light you guide my fright
I promise to give you the sweetest sleep
And my shoulder is yours when you weep
Cut copy me I’m all yours
You’re the shoreline I see when I’m off course
I want you to hold me forever, make it last
Forget the others from my past

Wire
You know I’m bad at communication, it’s
the hardest thing for me to do
And it’s said, it’s the most important part that
relationships will go through
And I’d give it all away just so I could say that
I know I know I know I know that you’re
gonna be OK anyway
You know there’s no rhyme or reason for
the way you turned out to be
I didn’t go and try to change my mind not
intentionally
I know it’s hard to hear me say it but I can’t
bear to stay and
I just know I know I know I know that you’re
gonna be OK anyway
Always keep your heart locked tight, don’t let
your mind retire, oh
But I just couldn’t take it, I tried hard not to
fake it

It felt great, it felt right, oh
But I fumbled him when I came down to the
wire
It felt great, it felt right, oh
But I fumbled him when I came down to the
wire
Does your imagination try to make you what
you wanted to be?
Because I’m sorry I do what I did, but it came
naturally
And I gave it all away just so I could say that
Well I know I know I know I know that you’re
gonna be OK anyway
Well I try to keep myself together, after all the
opportunities
I try to stay true to you and try to do what you
wanted for me
And I’d give it all away just to hear you say
that
Well I know I know I know I know that you’re
gonna be OK anyway
Always keep your heart locked tight, don’t let
your mind retire, oh

Stay The Night

Crying For No Reason
I push all my problems to the back of my mind
Then they surface in my dreams, they come alive
I sweep all my issues to somewhere I can’t find
In hope that I’ll forget but there’s just so many
times
Why can’t I be strong and just confront all my
fears?
When my fear is hurting you by being sincere
But how many more days can I run? How
many years?
Emotions flooding and now it’s all seeming
so clear
Crying for no reason, feel the tears roll down
I felt strong but am I breaking now?
Crying for no reason, ’cause I buried it deep
I made promises I could not keep
’Cause I never faced all the pain I caused
Now the pain is hitting me full force
I push all my problems to the back of my brain
A darkness deep inside where I just can’t find
my way
How can I walk with a smile? Get on with my
day
When I deceived myself pretending it’s all
okay
I tried my best to hold it all together, I know
The strings have worn away and now I’m all
exposed
I try to hide it all away on top of the shelf
I can lie to everyone but not to myself
Chorus
Forgive me now, ’cause I said that I’ll be there
for you, care for you
I let you down, I walked away
‘Cause there were things I couldn’t say to you,
say to you
I’m breaking now
[2×]
I burned some bridges down
There must be some way out
The voices speak so loud
Will you forgive me now?
Crying for no reason, feel the tears roll down
I felt strong but am I breaking now?
Crying for no reason ’cause I buried it deep
I made promises I could not keep
’Cause I never faced all the pain I caused
Now the pain is hitting me full force
full force – with all possible power
to get on – to continue
deceived – lied to / tricked
pretending – make believe / fantasy
have worn away – used, destroyed
I’m all exposed – I have no secrets
to forgive – to excuse
I let you down – I disappointed you

Wild Heart
I was walking away,
But she’s so beautiful it made me stay
I don’t know her name,
But I’m hoping she might feel the same
So here I go again,
She’s got my heart again!

Tonight we’ll dance
I’ll be yours and you’ll be mine

Feels like I’ve been standing right here for

Tell me that you feel this, and I won’t give up
I won’t give up
Chorus
Chorus:
It’s too late to run away from it all
It’s too late to get away from it all
I’m done with running so I give in to you
This moment has caused a reaction
Resulting in our reattachment
Oh you take me to nirvana
I don’t think this will last
But you’re here in my arms
Oh baby, oh baby, oh, we both feel the same
I’m not gonna give you my name
And I don’t think you want that to change
We’re in this together, we don’t know who we
are
Even if it’s moving too fast,
Baby we should take it too far

Oh you take me to nirvana
I don’t think this will last
But you’re here in my arms
