Look

at

their

funny

long

hair

!

'

The

tiny

men

--

they

were

no

larger

than

medium-sized

dolls

--

had

stopped

what

they

were

doing

,

and

now

they

were

staring

back

across

the

river

at

the

visitors

.

One

of

them

pointed

towards

the

children

,

and

then

he

whispered

something

to

the

other

four

,

and

all

five

of

them

burst

into

peals

of

laughter

.

'

But

they

ca

n't

be

real

people

,

Of

course

they

're

real

people

,

'

Mr

Wonka

answered

.

'

They

're

Oompa-Loompas

.

'

'

Oompa-Loompas

!

'

everyone

said

at

once

.

'

Oompa-Loompas

!

Imported

direct

from

Loompaland

,

'

said

Mr

Wonka

proudly

.

There

's

no

such

place

Mrs

Excuse

me

,

dear

lady

,

but

...

'

'M

r

Wonka

,

'

cried

Mrs

Salt

.

'

I

'm

a

teacher

of

geography

'

Then

you

'll

know

all

about

it

,

'

said

Mr

Wonka

.

'

And

oh

,

what

a

terrible

country

it

is

!

Nothing

but

thick

jungles

infested

by

the

most

dangerous

beasts

in

the

world

--

hornswogglers

and

snozzwangers

and

those

terrible

wicked

whangdoodles

.

A

whangdoodle

would

eat

ten

Oompa-Loompas

for

breakfast

and

come

galloping

back

for

a

second

helping

.

When

I

went

out

there

,

I

found

the

little

Oompa-Loompas

living

in

tree

houses

.

They

had

to

live

in

tree

houses

to

escape

from

the

whangdoodles

and

the

hornswogglers

and

the

snozzwangers

.

And

they

were

living

on

green

caterpillars

,

and

the

caterpillars

tasted

revolting

,

and

the

Oompa-Loompas

spent

every

moment

of

their

days

climbing

through

the

treetops

looking

for

other

things

to

mash

up

with

the

caterpillars

to

make

them

taste

better

--

red

beetles

,

for

instance

,

and

eucalyptus

leaves

,

and

the

bark

of

the

bong-bong

tree

,

all

of

them

beastly

,

but

not

quite

so

beastly

as

the

caterpillars

.

Poor

little

Oompa-Loompas

!

The

one

food

that

they

longed

for

more

than

any

other

was

the

cacao

bean

.

But

they

could

n't

get

it

.

An

Oompa-Loompa

was

lucky

if

he

found

three

or

four

cacao

beans

a

year

.

But

oh

,

how

they

craved

them

.

They

used

to

dream

about

cacao

beans

all

night

and

talk

about

them

all

day

.

You

had

only

to

mention

the

word

"

cacao

"

to

an

Oompa-Loompa

and

he

would

start

dribbling

at

the

mouth

.

The

cacao

bean

,

'

Mr

Wonka

continued

,

'

which

grows

on

the

cacao

tree

,

happens

to

be

the

thing

from

which

all

chocolate

is

made

.

You

can

not

make

chocolate

without

the

cacao

bean

.

The

cacao

bean

is

chocolate

.
