Behind the Scenes

"Mr. Willy Wonka, the candy-making genius whom nobody has seen for the last ten years, sent out the following notice today: I, Willy Wonka, have decided to allow five children - just five, mind you, and no more - to visit my factory this year. These lucky five will be shown around personally by me, and they will be allowed to see all the secrets and the magic of my factory."1
