Charlie earned the factory suppposedly b/c he was the only child who followed the rules. However, he drank the fizzy drink, which was against the rules. Is the only moral of the story as long as you don't get caught, you will be rewarded for misbehaving?

My point is this - how do we know that the other kids wouldn't have given back the gobstopper as well? They weren't given a second chance, they were just kicked out.

He was caught, thats why Willie went off on him and grandpa Joe. He was rewarded for giving back the "Everlasting Gob Stopper". Willie knew the other kids wouldn't but Charlie would.

The original book is Charlie and the chocolate Factory and it did not have anything in it about the fizzy soda. That was in the Gene Wilder version called Willy Wonka. They named that first movie Willy Wonka because they wanted to make the chocolate bars and hopefully seel them and make a lot of money and they didn't think that Charlie would sell candy.
And I think that you have nmissed the point somewhere. Charlie and grandpa joe were caught and they did not win. It was not until Charlie gave back the candy that Willy changed his demeanor and let charlie win.

The first movie was called "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory." Wonka knew about the fizzy drink that's why he lost at first, but then Charlie was the only kid who wasn't greedy, the other kids were going to sell the everlasting gobstopper to Slugworth, but he wasn't, he gave it back to Wonka.

As mentioned already - he was rewarded for not selling the everlasting gobstopper to Willy Wonker's competitor not for "following the rules".
Have a look at the link below for lots more about the morals behind the story:

Actually, he didn't win because he followed all the rules. He won because he gave the everlasting gobstopper back to Wonka. Wonka planted Mr. Slugworth and all his money to see which child would be faithful in their promise to never tell another soul about the candy. Charlie won because he gave the candy back to Wonka instead of revealing secrets.

The other children agreed to give their gobstoppers to what they thought was a rival of Willy Wonka. Charlie, although he did break the rules (and was caught) didn't break the most important rule. It was a basis of character.

Cuz Mike TV wasa spoiled brat who delivbretly wen against what Wonka was saying, Violet crossed her fingers when she promised to keep the gum a secret, Veruca was selfish and self centered, Agustus wouldve eaten the factory and they couldnt use commen sense to get themselves out of troble. Charlie broke a rule and got himself out of it and gave back the gum. Wonka did caught him and called him a theif and then tells him that he knew he would give it back. you need to watch it again

I thought the point was he didn't give the never ending lolly thing to the guy, who Wonka had used as a test, to see who would betray him. Charlie gave it back to Wonka at the end, instead of the creepy guy.

No silly. It's because he gave back the ever lasting gobstopper.

Don't you get it? Charlie was poor while the other kids were spoiled brats who got everything they wanted. He was pure of heart. It showed when he gave the everlasting gobstoppper back.
