Everyone hears about the golden tickets in newspapers and on the news. A young boy by the name of Charlie Bucket, age 11, and his family heard about the golden tickets in the newspaper one day and decided to buy some chocolate bars.
Charlie and his family were having a tough time. His father had just got laid off from his job and his mother was a stay at home mom. After the candy was all shipped to stores one-by-one, each bar of chocolate disappeared in hopes of finding 1 of the 5 golden tickets. Four kids found the tickets pretty fast and Charlie was starting to lose hope.
