Chapter 12 : What It Said on the
Golden Ticket
Summary

6. Summary
◦ Charlie bursts through the front door, calling out his fantastic news. For 10
seconds, his mother and grandparents stare at him in blank silence. Grandpa Joe
asks softly whether Charlie is joking, but when the boy shows him the ticket, the
old man, "who hadn't been out of bed these last twenty years," jumps up and
does a victory dance. In the midst of the excitement Mr. Bucket walks in, cold and
tired. Charlie hands his father the ticket, and Mr. Bucket reads the printing aloud.
◦ The ticket bears Mr. Wonka's greetings and his promises of amazing treats in
store—as well as "enough delicious eatables" to last a lifetime. The text goes on
to say that on February 1, each ticket-bearer and one or two family members
must be waiting at the factory gates at 10:00 a.m. sharp.

7. Summary
◦ "But that's tomorrow!" exclaims Mrs. Bucket. And
so it is. Grandpa Joe rushes to claim the privilege
of escorting Charlie. When Charlie's parents agree,
Grandpa Joe grabs Charlie by the hands and
dances around the room.
◦ At this point a swarm of journalists and
photographers pour into the little house. It's nearly
midnight before they're all gone and Charlie can
go to bed.

Huge crowds have gathered in front of Wonka's factory to watch the
Golden Ticket holders go in. Charlie and Grandpa Joe are standing
quietly, but the other four winners are so eager to get through the
gates they have to be pinned down by their parents.
People in the crowd excitedly talk about the winners. Someone
points out that Violet Beauregarde is still chewing the three-month-
old stick of gum. Another onlooker comments on how enormous
Augustus Gloop is. "Look at all those crazy pistols he's got hanging
all over him!" yet another person shouts about Mike Teavee. A
fourth person is eager to see Veruca Salt, whose father gives her
anything. "She only has to start screaming for it and she gets it!"

10. Summary
◦ Charlie overhears someone wondering why he's not
wearing a coat. He squeezes Grandpa Joe's hand. A
church clock begins to strike 10, and the factory
gates slowly swing open.

shouts.
