The house isn’t nearly big enough [ɪˈnʌf]for so many people, and life is not very good for them all. There are just two rooms in their house. The old grandparents — Grandpa Joe and Grandma Josephine, Grandpa George and Grandma Georgina live in the bigger room. They are very old and tired. They are so tired that they never get out of it.

Grandpa Joe was the oldest of the four grandparents. He was ninety-six and a half, and that is just about as old as anybody can be. Like all very old people, he was delicate [ˈdelɪkɪt] and weak, and all through the day he spoke very little. But in the evenings, when Charlie, his beloved grandson, was in the room, he in some marvellous [ˈmɑ:vələs] way grew quite young again. All his tiredness [ˈtaɪədnɪs] fell away from him, and he became as excited [ɪkˈsaɪtɪd] as a young boy.

Mr and Mrs Bucket and little Charlie Bucket slept in the other room on mat-tresses [ˈmætrɪsɪz] on the floor. In the sum-mertime, this wasn’t too bad, but in the winter it was very cold, and Charlie was never warm at night. But the family could not buy a better house or even [ˈi:vən] one more bed to sleep in. They were too poor for that. Mr Bucket was the only person in the family with a job. He worked in a tooth-paste factory, where he sat all day long at a work-table and put the little caps on to the tops of the tubes of toothpaste. For this work poor Mr Bucket got very little money

[ˈmʌni], and however [haʊˈevə] hard and however fast he worked, he could never buy one half of the things that his large family wanted.

There wasn’t enough money to buy food for them all. The only things they had were bread and margarine [ˌmɑ:ʤəˈri:n] for breakfast, potatoes and cabbage for lunch, and cabbage soup for supper. Sundays were a bit better. They all liked Sundays because then, although [ˈɔ:lðəʊ] they had exactly [ɪɡˈzæktli] the same, everyone could have a second helping. The Buckets, of course, didn’t starve [stɑ:v], but every one of them — the two old grandfathers, the two old grandmothers, Charlie’s father, Char-lie’s mother, and little Charlie — went about feeling hungry from morning till night. Charlie felt it worst of all. And although his father and mother often went without their own lunch or supper so that they could give more food to him, it still wasn’t enough for a growing boy. He desperately [ˈdespərɪtli] wanted something more filling [ˈfɪlɪŋ] than cabbage and cab-bage soup.

He took down boxes and boxes of new shoes and showed them one pair after another.

“No,” Rebecca said, “I want really nice shoes.”

B. Mama bought the shoes and they started home. Along the way, Rebecca stopped.

“What’s the matter?” Mama asked.“I don’t like the way my feet look in the blue shoes,” said

Rebecca. “Maybe we’ll get a different pair of shoes. Maybe we’ll get brown shoes.”

“Or maybe we’ll get a different pair of feet,” Mama said. “Do you think there is a shop near here that sells new feet?”

“No,” said Rebecca. “No. I like my feet. Let’s go home, Mama.”

C. Mama stopped in front of a shoe shop and opened the door.“We must buy a new pair of shoes,” she said.“For you?” asked Rebecca.“No,” said Mama, “for you.”Mama walked into the shop and sat down. Rebecca sat down

near her. Then they waited.Finally a shop assistant came over.“We would like some shoes for the girl,” said Mama. “Size

nine.”“What colour would you like?” asked the salesman.“Blue,” Rebecca said before her mother could answer.

D.  The shop assistant went into the back of the shop. There he took down more boxes. And in the very last box on the very last shelf, he found a pair of nice blue shoes. The shop assistant brought out the shoes for Rebecca and her mother to see.

The Mist and All

The mist and all.

I like the night owl’s [aʊlz] lonely call

And wailing sound

Of wind (1) … (about, around, across).

I like the grey

November day

And bare dead boughs [baʊz]

that coldly sway

Against my pane.

I like the (2) … (sun, wind, rain).

I like to sit

And (3) … (laugh, work, think) at it,

And tend my cosy fire a bit.

I like the fall,

The mist and all.

Chapter Two

Mr Willy Wonka’s FactoryIn the evenings, after his supper of wa-

tery cabbage soup, Charlie always went into the room of his four grandparents to listen to their stories, and then to say goodnight.

Every one of these old people was over ninety. They were as bony as skeletons and in the daytime they lay [leɪ] in their beds with nightcaps on to keep their heads warm. But as soon as they heard the door opening, and heard Charlie’s voice saying: “Good evening, Grandpa Joe and Grandma Josephine, and Grandpa George and Grandma Georgina,” the all four of them suddenly sat up. Their old faces lit up with smiles of pleasure and then the talking began. For they loved this little boy. He was the only bright thing in their lives, and his evening visits were something that they liked very much and waited for. Often, Charlie’s mother and father came in too, and stood by the door, listening to the stories that the old people told. Thus, for about half an hour every night, this room became a happy place, and the family forgot [fəˈɡɒt] it was hungry and poor.

One evening, when Charlie went in to see his grandparents, he said to them, “Is it really true that Wonka’s Chocolate Factory is the biggest in the world?”

“True?” cried all four of them at once. “Of course, it’s true. Didn’t you know that?”

“And is Mr Willy Wonka really the clev-erest chocolate maker in the world?”

“My dear boy,” said Grandpa Joe, “Mr Willy Wonka is the most wonderful and the most fantastic chocolate maker in the world. I thought everybody knew that.”

“I knew he was famous, Grandpa Joe, and I knew he was very clever…”

“Clever!” cried the old man. “He’s more than that! He’s a magician [məˈʤɪʃn] with chocolate! He can make anything  — any-thing he wants! Isn’t that a fact, my dears?”

The other three old people nodded [ˈnɒdɪd] their heads slowly up and down, and said, “Absolutely [ˈæbsəlu:tli] true. Just as true as can be.”

And Grandpa Joe said, “You mean [mi:n] to say I’ve never told you about Mr Willy Wonka and his factory?”

“Never. Will you tell me now, Grandpa Joe, please?”

“I certainly will. Sit down beside me on the bed, my dear, and listen,” said Grandpa Joe.

“Oh, what a man he is, this Mr Willy Wonka! Did you know, for example, that he invented [ɪnˈventɪd] more than two hun-dred new kinds of chocolate? They are sweeter and creamier and more tasty than anything the other chocolate factories can make!”

“Quite true!” cried Grandma Josephine.

“And he sends them to all the places in the

world! Isn’t that so, Grandpa Joe?”

“It is, my dear, it is. And to all the kings

and presidents of the world as well. But it

isn’t only chocolate bars that he makes. Oh,

dear me, no! Did you hear about his choco-

late ice cream? It stays cold for hours and

hours without being in the fridge! You can

even leave it lying in the sun all morning on

a hot day and it won’t go runny!”

“But that’s impossible [ɪmˈpɒsɪbl]!” said

little Charlie, looking at his grandfather.

“Of course it’s impossible!” cried Grand-

pa Joe. “It’s absolutely impossible! But

that’s true!”

“Quite right!” the others said, nodding

their heads.

“And then again,” Grandpa Joe went

on speaking very slowly, “Mr Willy Wonka

can make caramels [ˈkærəməlz] that change

colour every ten seconds. He can make

chewing gum [ˈʧu:ɪŋ ɡʌm] that never loses

[ˈlu:zɪz] its taste. And, by a most secret

method, he can make lovely blue birds’

eggs, and when you put one of these in your

mouth, it gets smaller and smaller until

suddenly there is nothing left but a little

pink sugary baby bird sitting on the tip of

your tongue [tʌŋ].”

“Tell Charlie about that Indian prince,”

said Grandma Josephine. “He’d like to hear

that.”

“You mean Prince Pondicherry?” said

Grandpa Joe, and he began laughing

[ˈlɑ:fɪŋ].

“What did he do?” asked Charlie.

“Listen,” said Grandpa Joe, “and I’ll tell

you.”
