Before we proceed-Invention means to make something new . In ancient time, the people led very simple and non - technical life. As the people did physical work , they did not become ill. But ,the modern age is the time of technical and comfortable life. At present ,the people are using different electrical and other gadgets in their life. Today ,we are able to use these techniques and new methods just because of invention. It has made our life very easy and comfortable.

so let us study and enjoy this imaginary story written by Roald Dahl which is taken from Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator.

THE INVENTION OF VITA-WONKA

ROALD DAHLCLASS VII (ENGLISH)

About the authorRoald Dahl 13 September 1916 – 23November 1990) 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 flying ace and intelligence officer, rising to the rank of wing commander. Dahl rose to prominence in the 1940s, with works for both children and adults, and became one of the world's best-selling authors.He has been referred to as "one of the greatest storytellers for children of the 20th century". 

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.

MR.WILLY WONKA, THE SCIENTIST

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 thananything else?’A tree called the Bristlecone pine that grows upon the slopes of Wheeler Peak in Nevada, U.S.A. It lives over 4000 years .

He jumped into the Great Glass Elevator andrushed all over the world to collect special itemsfrom 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 Arabiathe 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

the knucklebones of a 700-year-old cattaloo from peru...”

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.He found THE WHISTLE-PIG, THE BOBOLINK, THE SKROCK, THE POLLYFROG, THE GIANT CURLICUE, THE STINGING SLUG AND THE VENOMOUS SQUERKLE who can spit poison right into your eye from fifty yards away.

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 Oompa-Loompa 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
