Matilda

Matilda is a very clever and unusual little girl. Her teacher, Miss Honey, knows this, but her terrible parents are too busy with their unimportant business to realize it. (p.5)

I read Matilda. It is story about the girl who is a clever little girl. Her terrible parents don't like her, and her head teacher, Miss Trunchbull, is very frightening so she isn't very happy. Matilda's homeroom teacher is amazed at Matilda's genuius and has a strong interest. However, when her friend mischifs the principal, Matilda is treated as a criminal. Matilda, who was angry at that, talks to her homeroom teacher and confesses her past. After all, the evil principal of Matilda is gone. Later, Matilda returned to a nomal girl who had no psychic ability. Then Matilda lived happily at the home of her homeroom teacher.
