The Twits by Roald Dahl

Description

The Twits , How do you outwit a Twit? Mr. and Mrs. Twit are the smelliest, ugliest people in the world.
They hate everything — except playing mean jokes on each other,
catching innocent birds to put in their Bird Pies, and making their caged monkeys,
the Muggle-Wumps, stand on their heads all day.
But the Muggle-Wumps have had enough. They don’t just want out, they want revenge.
