Chocolate Factory (part 2)

-Chomp... the grass... chomp... is yummy ... chomp...
-Mmm! That candy is delicious!... Augustus, don't eat too much grass my son!
-Gnam... OK mom... gnam...




-I must admit this tastes so good! Such a rich flavor!
-I would love a chewing gum like that! But be careful mom, you will ruin your diet!
-You are right but it's hard to resist!



-Dad! I want a tree like that in my garden!
-But Veruca, it's not easy to find such trees!...
-No! I want this one right now! You can buy it from Mr Wonka! I want it, I want it!



-Mike! Stop smashing the candy with your feet!
-But he said to enjoy...! It's much more fun than eating them!



-Look over there! I can see some tiny people! Who are they Mr. Wonka?
-These are the Oompa Loompas!
-The Oompa Loompas?
-Yes, they are the workers of my factory! They are very small but so good!



-Oh, there are so many of them!
-Yes! Some years ago I travelled to Loompaland looking for exotic new flavours! There in the jungle I found the Oompa Loompas who lived in tree houses to escape from the terrible beasts that lived below! So I took them with me to work in my factory! Here they live safely in peace and eat their favourite cocoa beans! They are such wonderful and loyal workers! I must warn you, however, that they are very mischievous. Always making jokes!
(Veruca) - Dad I want an Oompa Loompa right now!...

Chocolate Factory (part 1)

 This is the story of an ordinary boy named Charlie Bucket. He was not faster, stronger, or more clever than other children and his family was not rich, or powerful… in fact, they barely had enough to eat. But Charlie was the luckiest boy in the entire world- he just didn’t know it yet...




Everyday on his way to school Charlie stops to smell the sweet chocolate aroma coming out from a huge chocolate factory. The owner of the factory is a strange man named Willy Wonka. No one has seen him for years. Also nobody ever goes in, and nobody ever comes out. The only thing that comes out of that place is the candy, already packed and addressed! But who works in this big factory? What a mystery!



One day Charlie saw an announcement from Willy Wonka!

'DEAR PEOPLE OF THE WORLD :
I, Willy Wonka, have decided to allow five children to visit my factory. These lucky five will be shown around personally by me and will learn all the secrets and the magic of my factory.
Five golden tickets have been hidden underneath the ordinary wrapping paper of five ordinary Wonka bars.
In addition, one of these children shall receive a special prize beyond anything you could ever imagine. Good luck to all. And happy hunting!'




Charlie lives in a tiny house with his parents and four grandparents.
-Willy Wonka has announced that he will accept five children in his factory! He has hidden five golden tickets in the Wonka chocolate bars!
-Wouldn't it be great if you found one of these tickets Charlie? I used to work there, it's a magical place!
-Oh Grandpa Joe! That would be awesome but... I only get one bar a year for my birthday...
-Well it's your birthday next week!

Moments

 -What a lovely day for fishing!




Summer memories...



-Great job little ones! You helped me to collect these vegetables from the garden! Now wash them well before you eat them!
-OK grandpa!



-Was that Mistoffelees Macavity?
-Yes! He has a hard time waking up early in the morning so this way he arrives at school on time!



The weather is still nice and Schroeder Fisher has taken the twins for a slow ride through the park!
-That was great fun dad! Can we have another round?
-Only if you promise to stay quiet and careful!
-Yay!




The piles of fallen leaves are always a chance for great fun! Autumn is wonderful in Sylvania!



The snow has covered every corner of the sylvanian village! Velvet Slydale and little Lindy have dressed in warm clothes and are off for the daily shopping at the grossery store.
-Look mom, so much snow! I want to make a snowman! Can we buy a big carrot for his nose?
-Of course dear, we can get one from the store and you'll build a great snowman when we come back!

-I made two little stars!
-Great work! Our Christmas window looks wonderful!

Harry Potter (part 3)

 -We are lost!
-I think we're not supposed to be here! It's the forbidden third floor corridor!
-I hear steps!
-Quickly, let's hide in here!
-It's locked!...
-Leave it to me!...ALOHOMORA!... OK, get in!



-Oh no, look!
-It was locked for a good reason!
-Ahhhhhhhh! RUN!



-Phew... that was close...
-Why on earth do they have a giant three headed dog locked up in a school?
-It was standing on a trapdoor! Maybe it's guarding something...



-Hagrid, why there is a giant three headed dog in the school?
-What? You know about Fluffy?
-That thing has a name?
-Of course he has! Actually he is mine! I lent him to Dumbledore to guard the...hmm... nothing... It's top secret!
-We knew he was guarding something important! Why?Does someone want to steal it?
-Maybe Snape is trying to steal it!
-Nonsense! Professor Snape is a Hogwarts teacher!
-But he is so strange and mysterious!
-Well, stop meddling around you three! What that dog is guarding is strictly between Professor Dumbledore and Nicholas Flamel... Oh I shouldn't have said that...
-Who is Nicholas Flamel?
-No more questions!
