Ivy and Charlie had a couple of stops to make on their way home. Daniel and Hannah headed back home and Ivy had the groceries in her right hand. After that, the two siblings walked by the chocolate factory. They stopped in front of it and stared for a few minutes.
"What do you think it’s like inside?" Charlie asked his older sister.
Ivy, who was staring at the smoke coming out of the factory responded with, "I don’t know, but if I ever had the chance to see inside, I would take it. Mr. Wonka's chocolate has always been the best."
If there was one thing Ivy loved almost as much as her family, it was chocolate. More specifically, Mr. Wonka's chocolate. Unfortunately, she didn't get the chance to eat a bar that often. Her and Charlie both got one for their birthdays. And they always shared with everyone else.
Ivy tried to save up enough money to buy Charlie a chocolate bar, but other necessities came up. Like the loaf of bread for example.
"This is a story of an ordinary little boy and a young woman...named Charlie Bucket and Ivy Bucket. Charlie was not faster or stronger or more clever than other children. His family was not rich or powerful or well-connected. In fact, they barely had enough to eat. Charlie and Ivy Bucket was the luckiest boy and girl in the entire world. They just didn't know it yet."
Charlie and Ivy made it home, announcing their arrival to the other Buckets in the house. The other Buckets greeted them in return.
"Hello, darling." Mrs Bucket greeted her daughter as she came into the kitchen area. "How was work today?"
"Like any other day." Ivy said with a shrug. "But Mrs. Robbins did send me home with some pretzels!" She handed the pie over to her mother.Mrs Bucket's eyes lit up. "That's wonderful. That Mrs. Robbins is such a kind woman."
"But Daniel and Hannah did gave us some groceries." Ivy looks through the bag. "There's bread, some carrots and obviously cabbage."
"Nothing goes with cabbage soup like bread, and pretzels for dessert. Thank you, dear." Mrs. Bucket kissed Ivy on the cheek. She then went back to cutting up the cabbage.
"Mama, let me help you out." Ivy said and begins to help her mother with the cabbage.
At that moment, Mr Bucket came through the door. He took had a long day of work, just as Ivy did. He greeted everyone the same way Ivy and Charlie announced their arrival. "Evening, Buckets!"
Everyone greeted him back. Mr Bucket went over and kissed Mrs Bucket. That's when he noticed the pretzels and the bread. He turned to smile at Ivy. "Let me guess? Mrs. Robbins?"
Ivy smiled with a nod. "She says hello, by the way." She then wrapped her arms around her father, giving him a tight hug.
Mr Bucket took a seat at the table, reaching into his pocket. "Charlie, I've found something I think you'll like." He placed a few caps belonging to toothpaste tubes on the table.
