Matilda is a kind and exceptional girl, but her parents consider her just a source of resentment. She expects school to be different from home, but the principal, Ms. Tranchbull, is a scary woman who is not happy with children at all. When Matilda is attacked by Mrs. Tranchbol, she suddenly and accidentally realizes that she has a strange power.

Only a genius superhero can stand in front of Ms. Tranchebol and take all the kids’ rights away from her, and Matilda seems to be exactly the same superhero. Matilda always chooses the best solution to her problems, but she is by no means predictable.

We read in a part of Matilda’s story

Ms. Hani continued: “I want you to learn as much as you can while you are in this class. Because your job will be easier later. For example, I do not expect you to learn the multiplication table by the end of the week, and I hope you will learn the multiplication table by the end of the year. If you do, it will really help you. “Well, is there anyone among you now who knows the multiplication table right now?”

The only one who raised his hand was Matilda.

Ms. Hani looked carefully at the little black-haired little girl sitting in the second row with her round, serious face, and said, “Excellent! “Please get up and say as much as you know.”

Matilda stood up and began to speak. When he reached two or twelve, twenty-four, he did not pause and continued: “Two thirteen, twenty-six. Two fourteen, twenty-eight.  … »

“Wait,” said Mrs. Hani. “How long do you know?” He asked, listening in amazement to the multiplication table.

“How long?” Said Matilda. Well, I honestly do not know, Ms. Hani. “I think a lot.”

Mrs. Hani paused for a moment to understand what Matilda meant. Then he asked: “Do you know what two twenty-eight is?”

– Yes, Ms. Hani

– How much is it?

Fifty-six to Ms. Hani

What about bigger numbers ?! For example, two to four hundred and eighty-seven? you can say?

“Yes, I think I can,” said Matilda.

-R u sure?

– Yes, Ms. Hani, I’m absolutely sure.

– Well, how much is it ?! How much is two to four hundred and eighty-seven?
