James And The Giant Peach (2008) - Plot & Excerpts
‘Thank you so much,’ the Centipede said. ‘You are very kind.’ ‘You have a lot of boots,’ James murmured. ‘I have a lot of legs,’ the Centipede answered proudly. ‘And a lot of feet. One hundred, to be exact.’ ‘There he goes again!’ the Earthworm cried, speaking for the first time. ‘He simply cannot stop telling lies about his legs! He doesn’t have anything like a hundred of them! He’s only got forty-two! The trouble is that most people don’t bother to count them. They just take his word. And anyway, there is nothing marvellous, you know, Centipede, about having a lot of legs.’ ‘Poor fellow,’ the Centipede said, whispering in James’s ear. ‘He’s blind. He can’t see how splendid I look.’ ‘In my opinion,’ the Earthworm said, ‘the reallymarvellous thing is to have no legs at all and to be able to walk just the same.’ ‘You call that walking!’ cried the Centipede. ‘You’re a slitherer, that’s all you are! You just slither along!’ ‘I glide,’ said the Earthworm primly.
