Without another word, he turns around and begins to walk slowly from the office. <br /><br />Wonka doesn't look up and he doesn't look at the Everlasting Gobstopper. He doesn't have to. He knows without looking. He just reaches across the desk and grasps the Gobstopper and whispers gently, "And so shines a good deed in a weary world". </i><br /><br />Author Kelly goes on to say, <i> I cannot describe to you the joy I felt as a child each time Charlie took the Everlasting Gobstopper from his pocket and placed it on the desk.

His innocence, I suppose, his honesty, his sincerity and integrity--all symbols of hope for a weary world</i>MamaMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00300520132972757396noreply@blogger.com
