This is Mr Bucket/ This is Mrs Bucket/ Mr and Mrs Bucket have a small boy whose name is Charlie Bucket.
This is Charlie.
How d' you do? And how d'you do?And how d'you do again? He is pleased to meet you.
The whole of this family- the six grown- aps (count them) and little Charlie Bucket - live together in a small wooden house on the edge of a great town.
The house wasn't large enough for so msny peple,and life was extremely uncomfortable for them all. There were only two rooms in the place altogether, and there was only one bed. The bed was given to the four old grandparents because they were so old and tired. They were so tired, they never got out of it.
Grandpa Joe and Grandma Josephine on this side . Grandpa George and Grandma Georgina on other side. Mr and Mrs Bucket ahd Charlie slept in the other room upon mattresses on the floor.
In the summertime this wasn't too bad, but in winter, freezing cold draughts blew across the floor all night lohg, and it was awfull.
There was no chance for them to buy a better house - or even one more bed to sleep in. They were too poor for that.
