Q2. Can anyone’s age be a minus number? What does “minus 87” mean?

Ans. No, age cannot be a minus number. ‘The Invention of Vita-Wonk’ is a fictional story, meaning that things which do not exist in real life can exist in the story. Hence, even though age cannot be in minus, in this story such age exists.

“Minus 87” is represented as -87. It means that a person has to wait for 87 years to be born.

(i) What is ________________________ ?
(ii) What lives ________________________ ? 

Ans. (i) What is the oldest living thing in the world?
(ii) What lives longer than anything else?

Working with the Text

Q1. (i) What trees does Mr Wonka mention? Which tree does he say lives the longest?
(ii) How long does this tree live? Where can you find it?

Ans. (i) Mr. Wonka mentioned Douglas fir, cedar, oak and Bristlecone pine. He said that among all these types of trees, Brisltecone pine trees lived the longest.
(ii) Brisltecone pine trees are over 4000 years old. They could be found upon the slopes of Wheeler Peak in Nevada, USA.

Q2. 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 some of them purely imaginary?

Ans. There were a total of eight oldest living things. They were as follows :

  1. A Pint Of Sap From A 4000-year-old Bristlecone Pine
  2. The Toe-nail Clippings From A 168-year-old Russian Farmer Called Petrovitch Regorovitch
  3. An Egg Laid By A 200-year-old Tortoise Belonging To The King Of Tonga L The Tail Of A 51-year-old Horse In Arabia

  7. The Black Teeth Of A 97-year-old Grimalkin Living In A Cave On Mount Popocatepetl
  8. The Knucklebones Of A 700-year-old Cattaloo From Peru

No, not all things from the list can be found in real life. Some of them are purely imaginary as this is a fictional story.

Q3. Why does Mr Wonka collect items from the oldest things? Do you think this is the right way to begin his invention?

Ans. Mr. Wonka collected items from the oldest things because they wanted to make something which could create age or make people older.

Yes, I think that was the right way to begin such an invention. When all the oldest living things will get combined, it will give us something which could definitely make us older.

Q4. What happens to the volunteer who swallows four drops of the new invention? What is the name of the invention?

Ans. When the volunteer, who is a twenty-year-old Oompa-Loompa, swallowed four drops of the oily black liquid, he began to transform into an old person. He started getting wrinkles and contractions which made him appear old. Moreover, his hair started dropping and teeth were falling out.
