    Harry 1 was frying eggs by the time Dudley arrived in the kitchen with his mother. Dudley looked a lot like Uncle Vernon. He had a large pink face, not much neck, small, watery 2 blue eyes, and thick blond hair that lay smoothly 3 on his thick, fat head. Aunt Petunia 4 often said that Dudley looked like a baby angel -- Harry often said that Dudley looked like a pig in a wig.
    Harry put the plates of egg and bacon on the table, which was difficult as there wasn't much room. Dudley, meanwhile, was counting his presents. His face fell.
    "Thirty-six," he said, looking up at his mother and father. "That's two less than last year."
    "Darling, you haven't counted Auntie Marge's present, see, it's here under this big one from Mommy and Daddy."
    "All right, thirty-seven then," said Dudley, going red in the face. Harry, who could see a huge Dudley tantrum coming on, began wolfing down his bacon as fast as possible in case Dudley turned the table over.
    Aunt Petunia obviously scented 6 danger, too, because she said quickly, "And we'll buy you another two presents while we're out today. How's that, popkin? Two more presents. Is that all right''
    Dudley thought for a moment. It looked like hard work. Finally he said slowly, "So I'll have thirty ... thirty..."
    "Thirty-nine, sweetums," said Aunt Petunia.
    "Oh." Dudley sat down heavily and grabbed the nearest parcel. "All right then."
    Uncle Vernon chuckled 7. "Little tyke wants his money's worth,just like his father. 'Atta boy, Dudley!" He ruffled 8 Dudley's hair.
