Narrator

Don't worry. Nobody dies in this story. They just get really big boo-boos.

— George of the Jungle  ·  1997

Behind the line

What it means

Our interpretation.

The narrator promises that nobody will die, then gives serious injuries a childish name. That choice of words makes danger sound less frightening. The reassurance sets a comic tone in which people may get hurt, but the story asks us not to worry too much.
