Two More Golden Tickets Found
That evening, Mr Bucket's newspaper announced the finding of not only the third Golden Ticket, but the fourth as well. TWO GOLDEN TICKETS FOUND TODAY, screamed the headlines. ONLY ONE MORE LEFT.
'All right,' said Grandpa Joe, when the whole family was gathered in the old people's room after supper, 'let's hear who found them.'
'The third ticket,' read Mr Bucket, holding the newspaper up close to his face because his eyes were bad and he couldn't afford glasses, 'the third ticket was found by a Miss Violet Beauregarde. There was great excitement in the Beauregarde household when our reporter arrived to interview the lucky young lady — cameras were clicking and flashbulbs were flashing and people were pushing and jostling and trying to get a bit closer to the famous girl. And the famous girl was standing on a chair in the living room waving the Golden Ticket madly at arm's length as though she were flagging a taxi. She was talking very fast and very loudly to everyone, but it was not easy to hear all that she said because she was chewing so ferociously upon a piece of gum at the same time.

“這第三張參觀券域帐，”巴克特先生讀了起來赘被，他把報紙緊貼著臉，因為他視力很差卻又買不起眼鏡肖揣，“第三張參觀券是一位叫維奧勒·博勒加德的小姐發(fā)現(xiàn)的民假。當我們的記者去采訪這位幸運的小姐時，博勒加德家里一片歡騰龙优，熱鬧異逞蛞欤——照相機不停地咔嚓咔嚓響著，閃光燈一閃一閃彤断，人們你推我擁野舶。都想著一看這位出了名的女孩。這個女孩站在客廳里的一把椅子上宰衙，伸長手臂發(fā)瘋似地揮動著那張金參觀券平道，好象她正在招手叫一輛出租汽車。她正又快又響地對人們講話供炼，但是要聽清她在說些什么實在不容易一屋，因為她同時正拼命地在大嚼口香糖。
