Anne, however, said that Chaucer's advice was terrible and that Homer's doing everything for Bart meant that Bart would never learn to do anything for himself. Oscar Wilde's ghost then appeared, quoting some of his most famous sayings, which annoyed Homer. Later, at the building contest, when Bart revealed the truth about Homer doing all the work, he told Homer that Oscar Wilde had also come to him in a dream.[3]
