"My dear friends, you are now about to enter the nerve center to the entire Wonka Factory. Inside this room, all of my dreams become realities, and some of my realities become dreams. And almost everything you'll see is eatable, edible. I mean, you can eat almost everything," Mr. Wonka explained to the tour group while standing in front of a small door.
"Let me in, I'm schtarving!" Augustus Gloop said.
"Now, don't get all excited. Don't lose your head, Augustus; we wouldn't want anyone to lose that… yet." Wonka revealed a tiny keyboard that popped out from the door. "Now, the combination—this is a musical lock." The chocolatier played a little tune on the keyboard.
"Rachmaninoff," Mrs. Teevee proudly announced to Mr. Salt.
"Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls," Mr. Wonka started to open the door for the guests, "the Chocolate Room." The entire tour group, consisting of five children, their five respective guardians, and Willy Wonka, entered the room and gazed at the wonderment that lay before them.
It was a large room laid with bright green grass, giant lollipops, candy cane trees, gummy bear trees, gumball trees, candy melons, and candy mushrooms. Most amazing of all, there was a giant chocolate waterfall that crashed into a chocolate river, which ran through the entire room.
Mr. Wonka was a strange case; he was known as the "Chocolate Magician" all over the world, and he was known just as well for his amazing and fantastic confectioneries; however, for about thirteen years, he stayed secluded inside his factory with no public appearances whatsoever. Then, one day, he announced a contest in which he sent out five Golden Tickets hidden in five of his Wonka bars. Whoever found one of these tickets was able to be his guest in his factory for one whole day. That day being today.
He often wore unusual apparel—the day of the tour being no exception. On that particular day, he wore a brown top hat, a purple velvet frock coat, a beige bowtie, a waistcoat with a purple floral pattern, a white undershirt, beige pants, brown shoes, and he held a wooden cane with an ivory top. He had blue eyes and frizzy, blond hair.
Willy Wonka told the group, "Hold your breath. Make a wish. Count to three." He then began to sing a song,
"Come with me,
And you'll be
In a world of pure imagination.
Take a look
And you'll see
Into your imagination."
He began walking down the stairs in an odd pattern, with everyone following behind. He then continued,
"We'll begin
With a spin,
Traveling in the world of my creation.
What we'll see
Will defy
Explanation."
He continued down the stairs in his bizarre manner.
"If you want to view paradise,
Simply look around and view it.
Anything you want to, do it.
Want to change the world?
There's nothing to it."
Once he reached the bottom of the stairs, he allowed everyone to enjoy themselves to all the treats in the Chocolate Room. Mr. Wonka picked up a mushroom cap with the end of his cane and started twirling it like an umbrella.
"There is no
Life I know
To compare with pure imagination.
Living there,
You'll be free,
If you truly wish to be."
Mr. Wonka, charming as he was, knocked down some gummy bears from a gummy bear tree with his cane for Violet Beauregarde to chew on. He then knocked down some gumballs from a gumball tree with his cane for Mike Teevee. Willy Wonka moved on to kick some candy melons into the air, which were as light as balloons. He walked up against a candy cane tree and belted out the next lyrics to his song,
"If you want to view paradise,
Simply—"
Willy Wonka was brutally interrupted by a large object that crashed into him out of nowhere. Mr. Wonka was launched through the air from the crash and landed on the bank right against the chocolate river.
