Chapter 11

Mr. Kranky lays awake all night thinking about George’s <a data-internal-link data-link-type="Symbols & Motifs" href="https://www.supersummary.com/georges-marvelous-medicine/symbols-and-motifs/#276450">medicine</a>, which they used up the night before. In the morning, he tells George that he wants to mass-produce the medicine and sell it to farmers all over the world. He explains that doing so will make them rich and possibly end world hunger. George admits that he can’t remember everything he put into the medicine, but Mr. Kranky promises to help him. Together, George and Mr. Kranky go through the house and the shed, listing the ingredients George added to the medicine, but George struggles to remember everything. Mr. Kranky goes to town, buys the ingredients, and asks George to show him how he mixed them together.
