“The Invention of Vita-Wonk” by Roald Dahl

Introduction:

  • In this excerpt from Roald Dahl’s “Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator,” Mr. Willy Wonka reveals the process of inventing Vita-Wonk, a potion that makes people older.

Key Points:

  1. Mr. Wonka’s Quest:

    • Mr. Wonka explains to Charlie that he embarked on a quest to collect samples from very old living things worldwide, including plants and animals.
    • He collected various items, such as sap from a Bristlecone Pine, toe-nail clippings from a 168-year-old Russian farmer, an egg laid by a 200-year-old tortoise, and more.
    • The collection also includes oddities like the tail of a 207-year-old giant rat from Tibet, the whiskers of a 36-year-old cat, and the knucklebones of a 700-year-old Cattaloo from Peru.

  2. Inventing Vita-Wonk:

    • Mr. Wonka used these ingredients in his Inventing Room to create Vita-Wonk, a potion that makes people older.
    • He tested the potion on a twenty-year-old Oompa-Loompa, who quickly aged to seventy-five after consuming it.
    • This experiment led to the successful invention of Vita-Wonk.

Discussion Questions:

  1. Choose the right answer:

    • (i) Mr. Willy Wonka is (b) an inventor.
    • (ii) Wonka-Vite makes people (a) older.
    • (iii) Mr. Wonka wants to invent a new thing which will make people (b) older.

  2. Can anyone’s age be a minus number? What does “minus 87” mean?

    • This question encourages students to understand the concept of negative numbers. “Minus 87” means a person’s age is 87 years younger than zero, indicating that the person has not been born yet.

  3. Mr. Wonka begins by asking himself two questions. What are they?

    • (i) What is?
    • (ii) What lives ?

Extension Activity:

  • Inventing Your Own Potion:
    • Encourage students to invent their own magical potion and write a short description of its effects and the ingredients needed. They can share their creations with the class and discuss the potential consequences of using such a potion.
