5/28/2018 Worksheet 2 - Despicable Me

1/2

When a mysterious criminal mastermind steals one of the pyramids in Egypt, evil

genius Gru becomes jealous and decides to do something even better. The last time Gru

managed to make the headlines was years back, when he and his minions stole the Times

Square JumboTron. This time, Gru is planning the biggest robbery of the century. How?

Ever since Gru was a little boy, he dreamed of going to the moon. Now, if Gru just

built a rocket and obtained a powerful shrink-ray, he could have a reputation as the

greatest thief who ever lived by stealing the Earth's satellite right out of the sky. But

immediately after Gru gets the shrink-ray, the cunning super-nerd Vector takes it right

out of his hands.

Now, in order to claim the moon, Gru must first take back the weapon from Vector.Armed with the knowledge that his enemy has a weakness for sweets, Gru adopts cookie-

selling orphans Margo, Agnes, and Edith. He asks Dr. Nefario, his personal weapons

specialist, to create a new line of cookie-robots. Then, he sends the three little girls to

sell the surprise cookies to Vector.

But when Gru and his tiny yellow minions prepare the biggest robbery in history,

something strange happens. Gru discovers that the

three little girls who have come into his life are much

more than simple tools in his evil plan.

When Gru realizes that his moon mission and the

ballet show of the girls take place at the same hour, he

must take a decision: what is more important - being a

present parent or making his villain reputation once and

for all?
