Summary:
Harald Dahl was Roald´s father. He was a Norwegian. At the age of 14, he had an
accident and needed to have his left arm amputated. Harald had a brother called
Oscar. They both run away to France after graduation. Uncle Oscar became
successful. He had fishing trawlers and he ran a canning factory. Harald became
successful with a partner called Aadnesen. They became shipping-brokers. They
provided supplies to big ships. They set up a business in a coaling port in Cardiff,
South Wales, U.K., due to the fact that coal was the most important thing they
supplied. He got married to Marie and they had 2 kids. When his wife died, he went
back to Norway where he met a girl and made her his wife. They had 4 kids, 3 girls and
a boy (Roald Dahl). 8 miles outside of Cardiff was located the house where they
moved into. Roald Dahl’s father was quite a brilliant businessman, plus, he was a good
gardener and wood carver. Even though his first language was Norwegian, he wrote
detailed dairies of events in English.
ANECDOTE:
Once, when my dad was 13 or 14 years old, he invited some of his friends over, since his
parents wouldn’t be home. They had nothing to do, so they thought that it would be a good
idea to bother the people driving on the street. First, they would grab oranges and put them
in a bucket. Then, they would prepare them by squeezing them to a point in which when they
were thrown, they’d explode. The next step was when the fun began. They would be
crouching on the balcony, waiting for a victim. When a car was about to pass by the building,
they would throw an orange to the top of the car, and it would hit so hard, the noise it caused
was really loud, and so the drivers would think something serious had happened. As soon as
the driver got out of the car they would all lay on the balcony head-down, and the drivers
would be screaming at the top of their lungs swears and insults. If you think that the crazy
part is over, you’re wrong. One of my dad’s friends enjoyed fishing for trouble, and so, when
he saw a police vehicle was passing by, he stood up and threw an orange. Unfortunately, he
was seen. They got inside and were scared of what could happen to them. The police rang
my dad’s house’s bell several times. Of course my dad didn’t answer. To this day, my
grandparents don’t know a thing about what happened that night, they kept it a secret.

They had 4 kids, 3 girls and a boy (Roald Dahl). 8 miles outside of Cardiff was located the house where they moved into. Roald Dahl’s father was quite a brilliant businessman, plus, he was a good gardener and wood carver. Even though his first language was Norwegian, he wrote detailed dairies of events in English.
  • 9. ANECDOTE: Once, when my dad was 13 or 14 years old, he invited some of his friends over, since his parents wouldn’t be home. They had nothing to do, so they thought that it would be a good idea to bother the people driving on the street. First, they would grab oranges and put them in a bucket. Then, they would prepare them by squeezing them to a point in which when they were thrown, they’d explode. The next step was when the fun began. They would be crouching on the balcony, waiting for a victim. When a car was about to pass by the building, they would throw an orange to the top of the car, and it would hit so hard, the noise it caused was really loud, and so the drivers would think something serious had happened. As soon as the driver got out of the car they would all lay on the balcony head-down, and the drivers would be screaming at the top of their lungs swears and insults. If you think that the crazy part is over, you’re wrong. One of my dad’s friends enjoyed fishing for trouble, and so, when he saw a police vehicle was passing by, he stood up and threw an orange. Unfortunately, he was seen. They got inside and were scared of what could happen to them. The police rang my dad’s house’s bell several times. Of course my dad didn’t answer. To this day, my grandparents don’t know a thing about what happened that night, they kept it a secret.
