Mr. Gum and the Goblins

[tiré du seul et unique glossaire officiel de M. Gum qui vous dit ce que les mots signifient en les expliquant à l'aide d'autres mots] : Launderette : C'est l'endroit où l'on va laver ses vêtements. Vous mettez l'argent dans la fente et vous jetez vos vêtements dans la machine à laver. Environ six heures et vingt-cinq dollars plus tard, tous vos vêtements ont rétréci et sont devenus roses. Une valeur fantastique

[tiré du seul et unique glossaire officiel de M. Gum qui vous dit ce que les mots signifient en les expliquant avec d'autres mots] : Tasses de thé : Les gens en Angleterre boivent toujours des tasses de thé. "Oh, prenons une tasse de thé" disent-ils. "Cela prouvera que nous sommes anglais et non américains." Parfois, les Américains essaient de prendre des tasses de thé pour prétendre qu'ils sont anglais, mais oubliez-le. Nous pouvons toujours dire que vous faites semblant.

Eh bien, merci, moi le vieux Gobbler '', a déclaré M. Gum en remettant de l'argent que Billy William découvrira plus tard à partir de mensonges et de promesses rompues.
