Champion of the World
Book Description:
"The Champion of the World" is a short story by Roald Dahl, first published in The New Yorker in 1959. It follows Claud and Gordon, two men who come up with a clever way to poach pheasants using raisins filled with sleeping pills. Their plan seems perfect, but things take an unexpected turn when the birds wake up at the wrong time. This story later inspired Dahl’s children’s book Danny, the Champion of the World. It’s full of humor, adventure, and clever tricks, making it an entertaining read.
