Título: Misterious Message Concerning The Dismal Dinner
Autor: Lemony Snicket
Sinopse: The Dismal Dinner is a short mini-series from A Series of Unfortunate Events, set before The Bad Beginning. There are four parts to this series, which was released in 2004 with Lunchables meals shortly before the release of the film adaptation, Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events. The mini-series described a scene at the fourth-to-last dinner party which the Baudelaire parents held in their mansion before their deaths in the fire. Each of the installments of The Dismal Dinner include three letters of a coded message, which, when put together in order, spell out "OLAF WAS THERE". The individual spying on the party is suggested to be Count Olaf, but the narrative's description of the character could also apply to Olaf's associate, the bald-headed man. Also, two individuals are disguised as dessert and described as "unusually delicious-looking". Their identities are unknown. According to the story, a sugar bowl was present at this dinner party, but whether it was the same sugar bowl significant to the later books of the main series is unknown. During part one, Violet invents a device to soothe her sister's teething pains. Klaus correctly diagnosed his sister's teething problems in part two. Sunny became agitated during part three after seeing a person spying on the dinner party. When Sunny sees the person spying on the party she says "Funcoot", which is a reference to the name "Al Funcoot", an anagram of "Count Olaf". (Olaf used this name to write the play The Marvelous Marriage, as seen on the first book of the series.) Part four is a summary of the story.
