How many of the oldest living things can you remember from Mr Wonka’s list ? (Don’t look back at the story!) Do you think all these things really exist, or are s some of them purely imaginary? |

Answer» Mr Wonka has mentioned some very oldest things. He said he had collected a pint of sap from a 4000-year-old Bristlecone pine tree, toe-nail clippings from a 168-year-old Russian Farmer, an egg laid by a 200-year-old tortoise, the tail of 51-year-old horse, whiskers of a 36-year-old cat called Crumpets, a flea that lived on Crumpets for 36 years, tail of a 207-year-old rat, the black teeth of a 97-year-old Grimalkin and knucklebones of a 700-year-old Cattaloo. Very few of these things would have really existed. A majority of them are purely imaginary. |
