4
His family was not rich
or powerful or well-connected.
5
In fact, they barely1 had enough to eat.
6
Charlie Bucket was the luckiest boy
in the entire world.
7
He just didn't know it yet.
8
-Evening, Buckets.
-Evening.

Soup's almost ready, darling.

Don't suppose there's anything
extra to put in, love.
12
Oh, well. Nothing goes better
with cabbage than cabbage.
13
Charlie...
14
...l found something l think you'll like.
15
Charlie's father worked
at the local toothpaste factory.
16
The hours were long,
and the pay was terrible...
17
...yet occasionally,
there were unexpected2 surprises.
18
lt's exactly what l need.
19
What is it, Charlie?
20
Dad found it, just the piece l needed.
21
-What piece was it?
-A head for Willy Wonka.
22
Well, how wonderful.

The man was a genius.
41
Did you know he invented a new way
of making chocolate ice cream...
42
...so that it stays cold for hours
without a freezer?
43
You can even leave it lying in the sun
on a hot day, and it won't go runny.

Before long...
