Chapter 3
A/N Hiya readers, I had difficulty with this chapter, but nether the less. Here it is.
All the children where surprised to see that Mr Wonka was using squirrels in a candy factory but the adults were just confused.
"Why use squirrels? Why not oompa-lumpas? " Mr Salt asked.
"Because squirrels can only get the whole nut out of its shell, so it is more efficient. " Mr Wonka answered.
All the children where amazed about how well trained the squirrels were, and how talented they where and how to tell the difference from a good nut, and a bad one.
"Daddy I want a squirrel." Veruca said out of nowhere.
"OK darling as soon as we get out of here I will get you one." Mr Salt said to his daughter as he always did when she wanted something.
"I don't want any squirrel, I want a trained squirrel." Veruca said in a demanding but cool voice.
"OK darling," Mr Salt said with a sigh before continuing "OK Wonka how much for one of your squirrels?"
"There not for sale. " Mr Wonka replied with a serious tone.
"Name your price." Mr Salt said showing that money was not a problem.
"She can't have one." Mr Wonka said putting a stop to the bizzare idea of someone having a squirrel as a pet.
A few minutes went passed of Veruca arguing with her dad to buy her one and Mr Wonka refusing to let her have one. Soon Veruca had enough and decided to take matters into her own hands, slipping away from everyone while Mr Wonka and Mr Salt were still bickering.
"Fine if you won't get me one of these squirrels I will." Veruca said to get everyones attention, once she was over the fence separating the visitors from the squirrels. As Veruca was looking for a squirrel, everyone was waiting in wonder, except Mr Wonka, who was looking for the key to open the gate so Mr Salt could go and retrieve his daughter.
After about a minute of walking around and looking at all the squirrals Veruca finally had her eye on the squirrel she wanted and started towards it.
"Uh little girl," Mr Wonka stuttered "Don't touch that squirrels nuts, you'll make him crazy." Mr Wonka finished in quite a worried tone.
Completely ignoring Mr Wonka, Veruca approached the squirrel, put out her arms and said "I'll have you."
Just before she grabbed the squirrel it leaped off of its stall-as did all the others and-started to grab Veruca. At this point Mr Salt was trying to get the gate open by shaking it while Mr Wonka was hurridly looking through his giant ring of keys and testing each one to get the gate open. All the squirrrals where very aggressive and were wrestling Veruca to the ground before pinning her to the ground. The one squirrel Veruca wanted climbed on her, then started to inspect her.
" What are they doing?" Charlie asked while looking over to Mr Wonka then to Voilet who's mother was trying her hardest to keep her from the young and poor boy.
"Oh there seeing to see if she is a bad nut." Saying this Mr Wonka suddenly realised this wasn't good and said as the squirrals made their conclusion, "Oh my , is is a very bad but after all."
Then all the squirrels got underneath Veruca and started to carry her across the room.
"Where are they taking her." Mr Salt asked now very worried.
"Where all the other bad nuts go, to the garbage chute. "
As Veruca went down the chute to the furnace screaming, the Oompa lumpas came out to sing another song as they did to Augustus Gloop. Just as they were coming out Mr Wonka found the key and opened the gate. "Sometimes the nuts are just at the top, so if that is the case all you have to do is reach in and pull her out." Mr Wonka instructed to Mr Salt before closing the gate behind him. As Mr Salt approached the hole nut his doughter went down the oompa-lumpas were just finishing their song.
#"The guilty ones, now this is sad. Dear old mum and loving...dad."#
Once this song finished just a second later the squirral Veruca wanted, kicked Mr Salt down the chute like his daughter with its two small feet.
Once the scene was over an Oompa-lumpa walked over to Mr Wonka and spoke to him.
"Really?... Oh good." Mr Wonka said. "According to the lead Oompa lumpa the furnace is broken so their should be about three weeks of rotting food to break their fall." He informed everyone else, before continuing with the tour. "Alright let's boogie." He said as they all left the room.
They walked for about five minuets till they reached a glass elevator. "I don't know why I didn't think of this earlier. This great glass elevator is the most efficiant way to get around the factory." Mr Wonka said.
"Sorry, Sir but how can this elevator go all over the factory?" Violet asked the chocoletear.
"Well unlike any other elevator that can go up and down, this elevator can do both as well as go side ways, slant ways and any other way you can think of." Mr Wonka finished saying very excitedly while pressing a button. Soon the elivator shot off.
As they zoomed off Mr Wonka started commenting on all the rooms "oh look, look. Folks welcome to fudge mountain. This next room is where we make our candy floss. This is the puppet and burn centre. it's relatively new Ah the administrations office. Hello, Doris." The next room they entered was full of exploding candy that looked like fireworks with Oompa lumpas in a sort of machine gun shooting out the candy.
They stayed in this room till Mike Teavee spoke up and said, "I want to pick a room."
Mr Wonka stood aside and said, "go ahead."
Mike scanned over the buttons till his eyes fell on a room that he thinks would interest him. He pressed the button that said TV room. Suddenly that shoot off to their next destination.
