Charlie is a boy who lives with his parents and grandparents in a very small house in the outskirts of the city. 

His family is poor, as Charlie’s father works as a toothpaste capper, and they don’t have enough food to eat.

One day, in the newspapers, Mr Willy Wonka, owner of a successful candy company has announced that five golden tickets have been placed in Wonka Candy bars.

The five children who find the golden tickets will be allowed to enter the chocolate factory and will win a lifetime supply of candy.

Charlie is excited about the news, but then realizes that because his family is poor and can’t buy candies, he will not win.

Soon, the newspaper reports that tickets are being discovered by various children.

Charlie tries to win opening two chocolate bars, but finds no ticket.

Days after, Charlie's father lose his job and they do not have money to buy food, so they are starving.

Charlie walks outside and find a dollar on the street.
