1 This is a story of an ordinary little boy... 2 ...named Charlie Bucket. 3 He was not faster or stronger or more clever than other children. 4 His family was not rich or powerful or well-connected. 5 In fact, they barely 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. 9 Hi, Dad. 10 Soup's almost ready, darling. 11 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 unexpected 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. 23 lt's quite a likeness. 24 -You think so? -Think so? 25 l know so. 26 l saw Willy Wonka with my own two eyes. 27 -l used to work for him, you know. -You did? 28 -l did. -He did. 29 He did. 30 l love grapes. 31 Of course, l was a much younger man in those days. 32 Willy Wonka began with a single store on Cherry Street. 33 But the whole world wanted his candy. 34 -Mr. Wonka. -Yeah? 35 We need more Wonka bars... 36 -...and we're out of chocolate birds. -Birds? 37 Birds. 38 Well, then we'll need to make some more. Here. 39 Now open. 40 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. 44 -But that's impossible. -But Willy Wonka did it. 45 Before long... 46 ...he decided to build a proper chocolate factory. 47 The largest chocolate factory in history. 48 Fifty times as big as any other. 49 Grandpa, don't make it gross. 50 Tell him about the lndian prince.
