savors over many months. The Bucket family’s circumstances become all the more dire
when Bucket loses his job. But a crazy stroke of luck befalls Charlie when he spots a
raggedy dollar bill buried in the snow. He decides to use a little of the money to buy
himself the ticet.

response, Mr. Wonka explains to Charlie that he has decided to give the factory to him.

he is not. He explains to Charlie that he is an old man and cannot go on forever. He is

run it. He believes an adult would want to change things, and he does not want that.

explains that the child he liked best would get the factory. Grandpa Joe remains they
that they can do all that they propose for himself .
