Charlie and the chocolate factory

Summary of Charlie and the chocolate factory

Charlie’s family is very poor. They live in a small old house with seven persons but only one bed. Charlie’s mother and father and both their parents mother and father live in the same house. The four grandparents share the bed while Charlie and his parents sleep on mattresses. The only one that provides the family money is Charlie’s father that works in a toothpaste factory, but he doesn’t get paid too much. Charlie is often very hungry because they can’t afford too much food, although he doesn’t starve.

In the evenings he uses to sit at his grandparent’s bed and listen to when they tell all kinds of stories, and he specially loves when it’s about the big chocolate factory that’s placed in the middle of the town. It’s called Willy Wonkas chocolate factory and it’s the most famous chocolate factory in the whole world. The one thing he loves more than anything else is chocolate. Once a year his family saves money together and buys him a piece of chocolate on his birthday.
