The whole world's going to find those five golden tickets, everybody's going to buy Wonka's chocolates, hopefully Find a ticket! Now he'll sell more chocolates! Oh, how exciting it would be to find a golden ticket!" "You also get chocolate and sweets for life - for free!" said Grandpa George. "think about it!" "They'd have to use a truck to carry that much chocolate!" Grandma Georgina said.

"It makes me sick to think about it," said Grandma Josephine. "Nonsense!" cried Grandpa Joe, "if you open a bar of chocolate and see a gold ticket in it, that's a very unusual thing!" "Of course, Grandpa. There's no hope," said Charlie sadly. "I only get one bar of chocolate in a year." "You don't understand at all, dear," said Grandma Georgina. "It's your birthday next week, and you've got the same chances as anyone else." "I'm afraid it's not such a national thing," said Grandpa George. "The kids who go looking for golden tickets are the ones who get to buy chocolate every day. But our Charlie only gets one a year. No hope."
