Mr Wonka clapped his hands. "Let's go, everyone! Our adventure is not over!" he said. "Don't worry about Augustus. He is safe." Mr Wonka smiled and pointed to the river.
Suddenly, a pink boat came through the fog. It looked shiny, like glass. The boat stopped at the river's edge. Inside, many Oompa-Loompas sat with oars in their hands. They were ready to row. They had orange faces and big smiles.

"I made this boat!" Mr Wonka said proudly. "It is made of a big sweet. Isn't it clever?" The Oompa-Loompas laughed. Violet asked, "Why are they laughing?" Mr Wonka said, "They're always laughing! It's their
nature."
Everyone climbed into the pink boat. The boat moved gently on the chocolate river. The air smelled sweet and made everyone hungry.
Mr Wonka turned to Mike. "No licking the boat!" he said. "It may be tasty, but don't do it." Mike laughed. Veruca shouted, "I want a boat like this! And I want Oompa-Loompas to row me around whenever I want to go!"
Grandpa Joe leaned toward Charlie. "She needs a little lesson!" he said. Charlie laughed. He looked around with wide eyes. Everything was new and exciting.
Mr Wonka gave Charlie and Grandpa Joe a piece of chocolate. Charlie looked at it carefully, and then put it into his mouth. He smiled with great joy. "This is the best chocolate I've ever had!" he said. Grandpa Joe smiled and nodded, "So smooth and sweet!" Mr Wonka said, "It's made with a waterfall! That makes it special."
Then, the boat went into a dark tunnel. "Faster!" Mr Wonka said. The Oompa-Loompas rowed quickly. Everyone shouted as the boat moved faster. Lights turned on. They were inside a big white pipe(管道). They passed funny doors like "Hair Cream" and "Has Beans."
"Onward!" Mr Wonka shouted. "Let's find the next surprise!"
