Every Tuesday he adds hug-tight glue on the crooked tree. When the birds land on the tree, Mr. Twit takes the birds to his house, so he could make bird pie. Mr. Twit loves bird pie.

Mr. and Mrs Twit had four monkeys in a cage. Whenever a bird tries to go and lands on a tree the monkeys wave their hands and said "go away". Mr. Twit is going to cook you for bird pie.

They spoke the same language.  One of the monkey said "Rolly Polly, Do you know the language of English birds?". Rolly Polly said "How can I go to a place without knowing the language?. I could talk to English birds.". The monkeys said "Rolly Polly, can you warn every bird on Tuesday that if they land on the tree , they will be cooked bird pie".
