This story starts out with an introduction of the main characters: Charlie Bucket's family. Charlie, his parents, and his four grandparents all live together in a small house. They're poor, hungry, cold, and pretty much in dire straits. The one thing that brightens Charlie's life is the chocolate factory, owned by Willy Wonka, that's right in the neighborhood. That and the one chocolate bar a year he gets on his birthday.
Grandpa Joe seems to know a lot about Wonka's factory and he tells Charlie a bunch of stories: about a chocolate palace Mr. Wonka built and about how he had to close his factory down because of spies stealing his recipes. During one of these stories, Charlie's dad comes in with the news that Mr. Wonka will be opening up his factory to five lucky children who can find Golden Tickets in Wonka chocolate bars. Contest!
On his birthday, Charlie's whole family hopes that his chocolate bar will contain a Golden ticket but it doesn't. Grandpa Joe even gives him some saved up money to buy one more. Still nothing. One day, while Charlie is walking home from school, hungry and cold and he finds some money on the ground and uses it to buy chocolate. And he finds his golden ticket.
