Advantages: A morality tale

Disadvantages: None

This, to me, is the best of Roald Dahl's childrens' stories...

Charlie Bucket lives with his mother and two sets of parents in a run down hovel... Extremely poor, they all live in one room with the grandparents sharring one bed - two at the top and two at the bottom. They live on a dish of boiled veg leaves and bread if they're lucky.

One day a wonderful competition is announced. Willy Wonka the chocolate factory woner has placed five golden tickets in his Wonka Bars. The finders of the tickets will each get a visit to the factory and loads of chocolate.

I won't give too much away, but needless to say, this brings out man's greed in all it's glory. Everyone wants a ticket, no matter what the consequences. In the end it's mild, gentle, reliable charlie who comes out on top...

A really wonderful story...
