7, at the end of the story, Charlie changed the life of his family. Mr. Wonka chose Charlie as his heir (继承人), 8 he took Charlie's family away in the Great Glass Elevator (电梯) to live in the chocolate factory. It turned out Mr. Wonka wasn't just 9 an heir—he wanted someone who understands that family is more important than even the sweetest candy.
