* TheDreadedThankYouLetter: In one book, it's revealed that Henry hates writing thank you letters because he's both lazy and selfish. When he realises other children also hate writing thank you letters, he decides to make money out of writing their thank you letters for them. However, Henry can't be bothered writing individual letters, so he just types one letter with delete-as-appropriate phrases, none of which are particularly special or polite, including starting the letter with "Dear Sir or Madam", then copies it. This gets all the kids in trouble, including Henry himself, who used the same letter.
