The grandpas and grandpas all sleep together in one bed. Charlie and his parents sleep on the cold, hard floor on lumpy old mattresses. Charlie and his family were very poor. All they could afford to eat was cabbage and cabbage coup. They did not starve, but they did go to bed still hung every night.

Chapter 2

Mr. Willy Wonka's Factory

Charlie's grandparents were very old. They were over ninety! They were wrinkled like prunes and looked like a bag of bones. One day Charlie asked his grandparents about a rumor he'd heard about this Willy Wonka candy maker man, and his giant chocolate factory. "Is it true what they say about this man and place?" Charlie asked. "Oh yes," said Grandpa Joe, as he lifted his head up from the pillow a little bit. He only did that when he was very excited.

Chapter 3

Mr. Wonka and the Indian Prince

Grandpa Joe knew many interesting, sometimes hard to believe, stories about this Willy Wonka man. Charlie, who was very curious and loved to hear his Grandpa Joe tell stories, sat down and listened. Grandpa Joe told hi, about this prince from a far away land that had asked Willy Wonka to build him a palace entirely out of chocolate. The stairs were chocolate, the roof was chocolate, even the carpet was chocolate! There was only one problem and it was a big messy one. When the weather started to warm up, the palace slowly began to melt. Pretty soon the delicious chocolate lake. palace was nothing more then a delicious chocolate lake.

The Secret Workers

"Are there any more stories?" Charlie asked with excitement and wonder. " Well, yes," Grandpa Joe said and proceeded to relate another fascinating store to Charlie. The chocolate factory has its lights on and its motors running, but no one ever goes in or out of its gates. Some people say that they have seen shadows of tiny people hustling about, but no one knows for certain.

Chapter 5

The Golden Ticket

Charlie's dad came home from work and walked into the room where Grandpa Joe and Charlie were talking. "Hey," he said, "Have you heard that Willy Wonka is going to be opening up his factory again?" "I have a newspaper bulletin that says that five lucky children will be allowed to tour the factory, see all the secrets, and then be given a gift of enough chocolate to last them for the rest of their lives. All you have to do it find the golden ticket and win. The golden tickets will be secretly placed in five candy bars, and may be found anywhere in the world."

For Charlie's birthday, his grandparents and his parents saved up all the money for the week to buy Charlie a special birthday present. When they presented it to him, he couldn't believe his eyes. It was a Willy Wonka Whipple Scrumptious Fudgemallow Delight! The four grandparents lifted their heads up form their pillows a few inches just like they always did when they were excited, and his parents stood nervously nearby as Charlie began to slowly tear open the wrapper. It seemed like it took forever as he unfolded every fold and carefully opened the sides of the outer paper wrapping. Charlie looked up to see the disappointed faces of his family looking at him. Charlie then shared the candy bar with his family.
