11. Summary

''The Invention of Vita Wonk" by Roald Dahl is an excerpt taken from the novel "Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator". The lesson is a fun filled incident that happens in the life of Willy Wonka and Charlie. They get into orbit accidentally, where they face dangerous aliens called Knids. They also have to save the astronauts who are stuck there. When Charlie's grandparents refuse to move because of their old age, Willy Wonka gives them a potion named Wonka-Vite, which reduces their age, to the extent that it turns into minus. The entire lesson then focuses on how they try to bring back their grandparents. Wonka collects a variety of items from all things old, especially from trees, since trees are the longest living thing in the world. He then proceeds to collect various other things from various people and animals. He tests it on the Oompa-Loompa volunteers, which yields results. He makes Vita-Wonk, which proves as an antidote and finally brings the grandparents back.
