Everyone is born,

but not everyone
is born the same.
3
00:00:46,963 --> 00:00:51,426
Some will grow to
be butchers or bakers
or candlestick makers.

Some will only be really good
at making JELL-O salad.

the most beautiful creatures
ever to grace the planet.

Others take a less

What a waste
of time!
12

And painful.
13
00:01:12,364 --> 00:01:14,491

NARRATOR:
Harry and Zinnia Wormwood
27
00:01:54,739 --> 00:01:57,534
lived in a very nice
neighborhood in
a very nice house,
28
00:01:57,617 --> 00:01:59,744
but they were not really
very nice people.

Get out of the street,
you little dodos!
30
00:02:19,973 --> 00:02:22,726
NARRATOR: The Wormwoods were
so wrapped up in their own
silly lives,
31
00:02:22,809 --> 00:02:25,437
that they barely noticed
they had a daughter.
32
00:02:25,478 --> 00:02:27,814
Had they paid any
attention to her at all,
33
00:02:27,897 --> 00:02:31,401
they'd have realized she was
a rather extraordinary child.

Oh, my gosh, Matilda!
Now look what you did!

her Matilda.

You're better off

NARRATOR: By the time
she was two,
41
00:02:56,009 --> 00:02:59,387
Matilda had learned
what most people learn
in their early 30s,
42
00:02:59,429 --> 00:03:01,431
how to take care of herself.
43
00:03:04,893 --> 00:03:10,106
As time went by,
she developed
a sense of style.
44
00:03:10,148 --> 00:03:12,484
Every morning,
Matilda's older brother,
Michael, went to school.
45

she was four,

00:04:06,746 --> 00:04:09,958
Matilda had read
every magazine in the house.
69
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,043
One night,
she got up her courage
70
00:04:12,127 --> 00:04:15,255
and asked her father
for something
she desperately wanted.
71
00:04:15,839 --> 00:04:17,132
A book?
72
00:04:17,215 --> 00:04:18,883

a book for?

To read?
75
00:04:21,553 --> 00:04:22,846
Why would you want
to read when you got
76
00:04:22,929 --> 00:04:26,558
the television set sitting
right in front of you?
77
00:04:26,641 --> 00:04:28,309
There's nothing
you can get from a book
78
00:04:28,393 --> 00:04:31,062
that you can't get
from a television faster.

In that room
right over there.

you out one with lots of

every day, as soon as
her mother went to bingo,
94

Matilda walked the
10 blocks to the library
95
00:06:11,955 --> 00:06:14,874
and devoured one book
after another.

(LAUGHING CONTINUES)

NARRATOR: When she finished
all the children's books,
99
00:06:21,881 --> 00:06:24,634
she started wandering around
in search of something else.
100
00:06:24,676 --> 00:06:29,639
Mrs. Phelps, who had been
watching her with fascination
for the past few weeks,
101
00:06:29,681 --> 00:06:32,851
offered Matilda some
valuable library information.
102
00:06:32,934 --> 00:06:35,603
(WHISPERING) You know,
you could have your very
own library card,
103

and then you could
take books home.
104
00:06:38,481 --> 00:06:41,401
And you wouldn't have
to walk here every day.
105

You could take
as many as you like.

That would
be wonderful.

NARRATOR: So Matilda's strong
young mind continued to grow,
108
00:06:52,579 --> 00:06:55,206
nurtured by the voices
of all those authors
109
00:06:55,290 --> 00:07:00,170
who had sent their books
out into the world,
like ships onto the sea.
110
00:07:09,179 --> 00:07:13,516
These books gave
Matilda a hopeful
and comforting message,

If you were six and a half,
you'd be in school already.

longed for a friend.

Someone like the kind,
courageous people
in her books.

and princesses with hair
long enough to climb,
152

such people might exist
only in storybooks.

a revolutionary idea

Thank you, Amanda.

I'd like you to sit over here
with Lavender.

Now, you all remember
how scary your first days
at school were,
531

so I'd like you to be
especially nice to Matilda
and make her feel welcome.

workbook for her, please?

a wonderful teacher
and a friend to everyone,
536
00:28:26,206 --> 00:28:29,668
but her life was not as simple
and beautiful as it seemed.
537

Miss Honey had a deep,
dark secret.

Though it caused
her great pain,
539

she did not let it
interfere with her teaching.

to review everything
that we've learned so far.

don't understand any of this,
543

just raise your hand, okay?
545

on our two times tables.
