Another submission from reader Matt Smith, this time the forty-second page of “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” where author Roald Dahl wrote (emphasis added):
![Charlie and the Chocolate Factory [cover]](http://www.powells.com/cgi-bin/imageDB.cgi?isbn=9780142410318)
They looked at each other, and both started giggling nervously.
"Mind you, " said Grandpa Joe, "there is just that tiny chance that it might be the one, don't you agree?"
"Yes," Charlie said. "Of course. Why don't you open it Grandpa?"
"All in good time, my boy, all in good time. Which end do you think I ought to open first?"
"That corner. The one furthest from you. Just tear off a tiny bit, but not quite enough for us to see anything."
"Like that?" said the old man.
"Yes. Now a little bit more."
"You finish it," said Grandpa Joe. " I'm too nervous."
"No, Grandpa. You must do it yourself."
"Very well, then. Here goes." He tore off the wrapper.They both stared at what lay underneath. It was a bar of candy- nothing more. All at once, they both say the funny side of the whole thing, and they burst into peals of laughter.
