The Magic Finger is a fantasy story written by Roald Dahl in The Magic Finger is narrated by an eight-year-old girl voiced by Anne Clements in the United Kingdom growing up on a farm in the English countryside, next door to the Gregg family who have a passion for hunting. The titular "Magic Finger" is an ability she has The Magic Finger activates inadvertently whenever she gets intensely angry: the finger shoots out a beam of energy that apparently seeks out whoever has angered the girl, with unpredictable consequences. One day, the girl sees Mr. Gregg and his two sons returning home from a The Magic Finger with a deer they have killed, and they make fun of her when she admonishes them. In The Magic Finger rage, she puts the Magic Finger on the entire family: they wake up the following morning to find that they have shrunk to the size of birds and developed wings in place of The Magic Finger arms. While trying their wings, the Greggs fly out of their house, which is promptly occupied by a family of human-sized ducks with human hands, and they are forced to make a nest in an old tree for the night. The following morning, the Greggs find that, in a major reversal of their habits, the ducks are holding hunting guns on them. Desperately, Mr. Gregg plead with the ducks not to shoot them, but when one of the ducks taunts them about their own fondness for shooting, Mr. The Magic Finger promises to give up shooting and destroy his guns, swearing never to hurt another animal again: the ducks let them leave, and the Greggs find themselves returned to normal. The girl comes by the farm to see that the Gregg family now changing their surname to Egg have fully changed their ways and are now feeding and caring for the birds. As they tell her their story, the sound of gunfire in the distance attracts the girl's attention, and she feels the Magic Finger charging again. The story ends as the girl runs off towards the sound that she can hear in the distance. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. LC Online Catalog. Library of The Magic Finger lccn.
