The Witches by Roald Dahl Summary (Question and Answer)
Chapter Three (The Witches by Roald Dahl)
Chap. 3 | How to recognize a witch. | ||
10 | 21 | All witches have a very powerful sense of smell and hate the smell of children. How might a child hide their smell from a witch and why does this work? | The cleaner a child the more it smells to a witch. Dirty children are less easy to smell, so a child should make sure that they haven’t bathed. Dirt blocks stink rays from escaping. |
11 | 22 | Why should you study the pupils of a woman you suspect to be a witch? | The pupils will keep changing colour and you will see ice and fire dancing in the pupils. |
12 | 24 | Why will a witch wear pretty, pointed shoes? | Witches have no toes; their feet are square which means that pointy shoes are very uncomfortable. They therefore always wear pointy shoes to hide the fact that they might be a witch. |
13 | 25 | What does a witch use instead of ink? | Their spit. A witch has blue spit, so they just lick the nib of a pen and write with that. |
