4. About the Author

was a British novelist, short story writer, poet, fighter pilot and
screenwriter.Born in Wales to Norwegian parents, he served in
the Royal Air Force during World War II, in which he became a

5. Mr.WILLY WoNKA,
the SCIeNtISt
Willy Wonka
is a fictional
character in Roald Dahl's 1964 children's novel
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, its sequel
Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator, and the film
adaptations of these books that followed. The book
and the film adaptations both vividly depict an odd
Wonka, a feature arising from his creative
and eccentric genius. He bewilders the other
characters with his antics, but Charlie enjoys
Wonka's behavior. In the 2005 film adaptation,
Willy Wonka's behavior is viewed more as a
(sympathetic)character flaw. Wonka's reasons for
giving away his fabulous factory is never revealed
either in the books or the 1971 film adaptation.
Many speculate the reason that Wonka was
terminally ill.
6. Mr Willy Wonka begins by inventing Wonka-Vite, which makes people
younger.
As soon as he started his work some ideas came to his mind.such
as-‘What is the oldest living thing in the world? What lives longer than

Peak in Nevada, U.S.A. It lives over 4000 years .
7. He jumped into the Great Glass Elevator and
rushed all over the world to collect special items
from the oldest living things. He collected the following things a pint of sap from a 4000-year-old bristlecone pine
the toe-nail clippings from a 168-year-old russian farmer called petrovitch
gregorovitch
an egg laid by a 200-year-old tortoise belonging to the king of tonga
the tail of a 51-year-old horse in Arabia
the whiskers of a 36-year-old cat called crumpets
an old flea which had lived on crumpets for 36 years
the tail of a 207-year-old giant rat from tibet
the black teeth of a 97-year-old grimalkin living in a cave on mount
popocatepetl
8. He found very old and ancient animals and took an
important little bit of something from each one of them — a
hair or an eyebrow or sometimes it was no more than an
ounce or two of the jam scraped from between its toes while
it was sleeping.

9. Then he boiled ,mixed and tested all the things in his
Inventing Room.
He produced one tiny cupful of oily black liquid and gave
four drops of it to a brave twenty-year-old OompaLoompa volunteer to see what happened.”
As he swallowed it, he began wrinkling and shrivelling
up all over and his hair started dropping off and his teeth
started falling out and, before I knew it, he had suddenly
become an old fellow of seventy-five!
Now he became happy over his success
