The Twits are always playing tricks on each other… the Year 3-4 students had to create a
prank to play on one of them...
The Blue Dye By Chloe Burke
The next day to pay him back for the blue pond trick, Mrs Twit thought to trick Mr Twit back, so she decided to wake up in the middle of the night and put blue dye in his clothes. She evilly laughed and Mr Twit said, “What are you doing?” “Nothing,” said Mrs Twit. She was acting strange and he was nervous. Later that morning Mr Twit had to go to work and he was late so he didn’t know what happened last night, all he knew was that he had to get to work immediately! When he got back from work he took off his shirt to go to bed and he was blue! He started to chase her around the dirty old house and he stopped because he got puffed. Later that afternoon he was feeling revengeful, he was in the mood to pay her back for the blue dye trick.
The Shoes By Harmony Applebee
To pay her back for the frog in the bed Mr Twit went to the shop. He went to buy a fish. He put it in her shoes and taped it to the floor. Mrs Twit laughed at him and ran away, then he made a huge mess.
The Blue Pond
By Charlotte Stephens
terrible old goose loudly snoring.
He could not see one thing so he fell down
the stairs at that time. Mr Twit felt hurt
and revengeful. He got the blue dye and
rotten cheese.
does Mr Twit need cheese, rotten cheese.
Well, see he’s going to put a bus load of dye
in the pond and replace the soap with
cheese.
tuned blue but she doesn’t know.
So Mrs Twit wrapped the towel around her
and went to get ready for the day but when
she put her clothes on they turned blue.
Mrs Twit called out to Mr Twit and she was
absolutely blue, dark blue, she snapped,
‘Did you do this to me?!’
‘Yes! and I like you this way’ insisted
Mr Twit. “How do we fix this?’ she asked.
‘Some Aloe Vera gel will get it off.’
‘OK I’ll try some,” but it didn’t!!!
A Pet By Corey Webb
To pay her back for the glass eye Mr Twit went to the shop to buy a big scary anaconda. When Mr Twit got home he put the snake on the roof. And Mrs Twit walked outside and she picked up a broken hammer and banged the old broken house and the snake came down on Mrs Twit and bit her. Mr Twit pulled the snake off Mrs Twit and then they had a pet snake named Jason.
The Shower Prank By Gordon Greenbank
To pay her back for the revolting cake Mr Twit violently pushed Mrs Twit in a deep pit of molten hot lava and she got burnt to a hot black crisp. Mrs Twit got out and started to argue. Mr Twit put red food colouring in the furry shower. She got in the horrible shower suddenly red came out, and she fainted and fell on the hard brown floor. Mr Twit left her for a long week and eventually a doctor came. The doctor said “She is in a coma for 5 or 8 years but she might be in it forever”. And selfish Mr Twit started to jump very high in the air, he said, “Yay, a few years away from that revolting hag”.
The Worms in Mr Twit’s Shirt By Mataya Turnbull
Once in the dark Mrs Twit went outside and dug up for some worms and put them in a disgusting tin. She heard screeching and saw a shadow and she felt nervous. Mrs Twit was laughing horribly with her ugly hairy face and Mr Twit saw the mean nasty horrible face, he was scared of Mrs Twit. Mr Twit was still sleeping when Mrs Twit came inside, then Mrs Twit had an idea. Mrs Twit poured the worms in Mr Twit’s shirt and then Mr Twit woke up and yelled. Mrs Twit laughed when they went into Mr Twit’s hair. “Why would you do that you moron?!!!” he yelled. The next morning Mr Twit lifted his bed up and got the worms and tipped the worms out on the grass. He went inside and Mrs Twit was cooking dinner for them. It was a disgusting dinner and they will always have a disgusting dinner forever.
The Disgusting Birthday Cake By Abby Sweeting
The next day, to pay Mr Twit back with all the tricks he has done, Mrs Twit decided on a marvellous idea because it is Mr Twit’s birthday tomorrow. Mrs Twit quietly tip toed to the kitchen. She got out the bowls and spoons but she wasn’t as quiet as she thought she was because Mr Twit could hear noise in the distance but it wasn’t too loud because his ears were blocked with hair. It sounded like Mrs Twit was baking something. Meanwhile Mrs Twit went out the back door to find some hay, twigs and much more. After she got inside she realised she hadn’t done enough so she got some fake rotten yellow teeth from the bedroom and snapped them all into tiny pieces. But Mrs Twit still thought it wasn’t good enough so then she cut herself and pouring her blood into the batter with the rotten teeth, hay, twigs and so much more, she put the cake into the oven and baked it. It looked like a chocolate cake with chocolate sprinkles. After she did that she yelled out “Dear let’s go to bed because tomorrow is your birthday, you better get some good rest honey”. The next day Mrs Twit at 6am in the morning brought out the disgusting cake and put it on the table then yelled out “Dear wake up, I’ve got a cake for you”. So Mr Twit ran out of the room with excitement and sat down at the table. After he sat at the table Mrs Twit cut him a slice of disgusting cake. Mr Twit said, “Thank you for baking this chocolate cake”. But he started to smell something really gross. Mr Twit said to Mrs Twit, “What is that smell?” Mrs Twit grinned and said, “It is okay dear, just have some cake, it will make the smell all better”. So he got a massive slice of cake and ate it. Mr Twit said “This is so disgusting!” Mrs Twit burst out with laughter, “It has fake rotten teeth, hay, blood, twigs and much more” but as she was saying that he threw up. Suddenly Mr Twit roared “You moron, why would you bake this for me!” Mrs Twit hissed “Ha, ha, ha, I got you back SUCKER!!!!”
