little boy who was going round a  \nchocolate factory and he accidentally fell intoa big tub of melted chocolate and got suckedinto the machine that made chocolate figuresand he couldn’t get out.It was a splendid bigchocolate figure,a chocolate boy the samesize as him.And it was Easter time,and the  \nfigure was put in a shop windaw,and in theend a lady came in and bought it as an Easterpresent for her little girl,and carried ithome.On Easter Day,the little girl openedthe box with her present in it,and took itout and then she decided to eat some of it.She would start with the head,she thought.So she broke off the nose,and when she sawa real human nose sticking out underneathand two big bright human eyes staring at her  \nthrough the eye-holes in thechocolate,she got a nastyshock.And so it went on.‘But the story wasn'tgood enough.I rewroteit,and rewrote it,andthe little tentacles keptshooting out from my  \nMikeTeavee  \nhead,searching for new ideas,and at last oneof them came back with Mr Willy Wonka andhis marvellous chocolate factory and then  \ncame Charlie and his parentsand grandparents and theGolden Tickets and the nastychildren,Violet Beauregardeand
