Augustus couldn't take his eyes off it. A stream, a river, a lake...of CHOCOLATE!! Let the others have the little things, he was going for the big prize. Augustus charged headlong for the miracle of confections and practically fell on the riverbank. The greedy boy dipped his lips into the brown ambrosia and the instant it hit Augustus's taste buds, he heard a rhapsody! Augustus had tasted hundreds of tasty things in his life ,but nothing in the world could've prepared him for this!
Augustus's hand brushed against a strange plant growing next to him and noticed that the plant was actually a bundle of multicolored straws. Grabbing one, Augustus stuck it as far down into the river as it would go, and began to drink. Every sip of the lake was pure bliss as it made it's way down his throat.
"Maybe this place isn't so bad after all." said Veruca as she licked the cream from her lips.
"Yeah, even without a guide, I could stay here a while." said Mike
It was then that the others noticed that Charlies' mouth was hanging open. Everyone's gaze shifted towards the river and Augustus and they were all met with a most peculiar site. Augustus was still greedily slurping up the chocolate from the river, but he looked decidedly heavier than he did earlier, in fact he looked rounder! In fact he seemed to be getting bigger right before their eyes! Augustus's belly was already impressive, but it was beginning to fill out his shirt at an alarming rate. Also his back was rounding out. Not one of the other children could bring themselves to speak a word as they watched this peculiar change come over their companion. Augustus continued to drink from the magical river without noticing the effects on his body, not even when his limbs began to be absorbed by his expanding mass. His arms were pulled in up to his wrists, and his legs all the way up to his ankles.
However, this was not the only peculiar change to be noticed about Augustus. The others had to blink and rub their eyes at the fact that as Augustus was now being elevated off the ground by his expanding body, Augustus's shoes seemed to be showing signs of strain. Before the observers could properly comprehend the absurdity of what they were seeing, there was a mighty "POP" and the tested shoes exploded off of their owner, exposing a pair of giant feet that were swelling as fast as the rest of the boy was! Augustus grew and swelled and ballooned until at last, the straw was lifted out of the river by the elevation of the boys head from the ground. There in the place of Augustus Gloop, the greedy boy who thought only of eating, was a gigantic black-clad orb with a little head on one end and a massive pair of bare feet on the other, which gad grown so much that they were as long as their owner was wide and to scale across!
