The story
Mefirsty always has to be first, and he carries a pole vaulting stick to leap to the front of every line. When a long queue forms for brand-new Goopers candy, he vaults right over it and slides into a barrel of candy peanuts.
He tumbles out inside the Chocolarium in Switzerland, surrounded by towers of chocolate. A grumpy chipmunk in a display tube warns him that stern Frau Schmid may want to turn him into a chocolate mold.
The real place: Switzerland
Three things to tell your kid after the story.
- 1Milk chocolate was invented in Switzerland in the 1870s, when a chocolate maker named Daniel Peter mixed chocolate with milk.
- 2The Swiss eat more chocolate per person than almost anyone else in the world.
- 3The Chocolarium is a real chocolate factory in Switzerland where visitors can watch how chocolate is made, just like Mefirsty.
