pe; and the great upward…curving walls of the pipe were pure white and spotlessly clean。 The river of chocolate was flowing very fast inside the pipe; and the Oompa…Loompas were all rowing like mad; and the boat was rocketing along at a furious pace。 Mr Wonka was jumping up and down in the back of the boat and calling to the rowers to row faster and faster still。 He seemed to love the sensation of whizzing through a white tunnel in a pink boat on a chocolate river; and he clapped his hands and laughed and kept glancing at his passengers to see if they were enjoying it as much as he。
  'Look; Grandpa!' cried Charlie。 'There's a door in the wall!' It was a green door and it was set into the wall of the tunnel just above the level of the river。 As they flashed past it there was just enough time to read the writing on the door: STOREROOM NUMBER 54; it said。 ALL THE CREAMS — DAIRY CREAM; WHIPPED CREAM; VIOLET CREAM; COFFEE CREAM; PINEAPPLE CREAM; VANILLA CREAM; AND HAIR CREAM。
  'Hair cream?' cried Mike Teavee。 'You don't use hair cream?'
  'Row on!' shouted Mr Wonka。 'There's no time to answer silly questions!'
  They streaked past a black door。 STOREROOM NUMBER 71; it said on it。 WHIPS — ALL SHAPES AND SIZES。
  'Whips!' cried Veruca Salt。 'What on earth do you use whips for?'
  'For whipping cream; of course;' said Mr Wonka。 'How can you whip cream without whips? Whipped cream isn't whipped cream at all unless it's been whipped with whips。 Just as a poached egg isn't a poached egg unless it's been stolen from the woods in the dead of night! Row on; please!'
  They passed a yellow door on which it said: STOREROOM NUMBER 77 — ALL THE BEANS; CACAO BEANS; COFFEE BEANS; JELLY BEANS; AND HAS BEANS。
  'Has beans?' cried Violet Beauregarde。
  'You're one yourself!' said Mr Wonka。 'There's no time for arguing! Press on; press on!' But five seconds later; when a bright red door came into sight ahead; he suddenly waved his gold…topped cane in the air and shouted; 'Stop the boat!'

  The Inventing Room —
  Everlasting Gobstoppers and Hair Toffee
  When Mr Wonka shouted 'Stop the boat!' the Oompa…Loompas jammed their oars into the river and backed water furiously。 The boat stopped。
  The Oompa…Loompas guided the boat alongside the red door。 On the door it said; INVENTING ROOM — PRIVATE — KEEP OUT。 Mr Wonka took a key from his pocket; leaned over the side of the boat; and put the key in the keyhole。
  'This is the most important room in the entire factory!' he said。 'All my most secret new inventions are cooking and simmering in here! Old Fickelgruber would give his front teeth to be allowed inside just for three minutes! So would Prodnose and Slugworth and all the other rotten chocolate makers! But now; listen to me! I want no messing about when you go in! No touching; no meddling; and no tasting! Is that agreed?'
  'Yes; yes!' the children cried。 'We won't touch a thing!'
  'Up to now;' Mr Wonka said; 'nobody else; not even an Oompa…Loompa; has ever been allowed in here!' He opened the door and stepped out of the boat into the room。 The four children and their parents all scrambled after him。
  'Don't touch!' shouted Mr Wonka。 'And don't knock anything over!'
  Charlie Bucket stared around the gigantic room in which he now found himself。 The place was like a witch's kitchen! All about him black metal pots were boiling and bubbling on huge stoves; and kettles were hissing and pans were sizzling; and strange iron machines were clanking and spluttering; and there were pipes running all over the ceiling and walls; and the whole place was filled with smoke and steam and delicious rich smells。
  Mr Wonka himself had suddenly bee even more excited than usual; and anyone could see that this was the room he loved best of all。 He was hopping about among the saucepans and the machines like a child among his Christmas presents; not knowing which thing to look at first。 He lifted the lid from a huge pot and took a sniff; then he rushed over and dipped a finger into a barrel of sticky yellow stuff and had a taste; then he skipped across to one of the machines and turned half a dozen knobs this way and that; then he peered anxiously through the glass door of a gigantic oven; rubbing his hands and cackling with delight at what he saw inside。 Then he ran over to another machine; a small shiny affair that kept going phut…phut…phut…phut…phut; and every time it went phut; a large green marble dropped out of it into a basket on the floor。 At least it looked like a marble。
  'Everlasting Gobstoppers!' cried Mr Wonka proudly。 'They're pletely new! I am inventing them for children who are given very little pocket money。 You can put an Everlasting Gobstopper in your mouth and you can suck it and suck it and suck it and suck it and it will never get any smaller!'
  'It's like gum!' cried Violet Beauregarde。
  'It is not like gum;' Mr Wonka said。 'Gum is for chewing; and if you tried chewing one of these Gobstoppers here you'd break your teeth off! And they never get any smaller! They never disappear! NEVER! At least I don't think they do。 There's one of them being tested this very moment in the Testing Room next door。 An Oompa…Loompa is sucking it。 He's been sucking it for very nearly a year now without stopping; and it's still just as good as ever!
  'Now; over here;' Mr Wonka went on; skipping excitedly across the room to the opposite wall; 'over here I am inventing a pletely new line in toffees!' He stopped beside a large saucepan。 The saucepan was full of a thick gooey purplish treacle; boiling and bubbling。 By standing on his toes; little Charlie could just see inside it。
  'That's Hair Toffee!' cried Mr Wonka。 'You eat just one tiny bit of that; and in exactly half an hour a brand…new luscious thick silky beautiful crop of hair will start growing out all over the top of your head! And a moustache! And a beard!'
  'A beard!' cried Veruca Salt。 'Who wants a beard; for heaven's sake?'
  'It would suit you very well;' said Mr Wonka; 'but unfortunately the mixture is not quite right yet。 I've got it too strong。 It works too well。 I tried it on an Oompa…Loompa yesterday in the Testing Room and immediately a huge black beard started shooting out of his chin; and the beard grew so fast that soon it was trailing all over the floor in a thick hairy carpet。 It was growing faster than we could cut it! In the end we had to use a lawn mower to keep it in check! But I'll get the mixture right soon! And when I do; then there'll be no excuse any more for little boys and girls going about with bald heads!'
  'But Mr Wonka;' said Mike Teavee; 'little boys and girls never do go about with 。 。 。'
  'Don't argue; my dear child; please don't argue!' cried Mr Wonka。 'It's such a waste of precious time! Now; over here; if you will all step this way; I will show you something that I am terrifically proud of。 Oh; do be careful! Don't knock anything over! Stand back!'

  The Great Gum Machine
  Mr Wonka led the party over to a gigantic machine that stood in the very centre of the Inventing Room。 It was a mountain of gleaming metal that towered high above the children and their parents。 Out of the very top of it there sprouted hundreds and hundreds of thin glass tubes; and the glass tubes all curled downwards and came together in a bunch and hung suspended over an enormous round tub as big as a bath。
  'Here we go!' cried Mr Wonka; and he pressed three different buttons on the side of the machine。 A second later; a mighty rumbling sound came from inside it; and the whole machine began to shake most frighteningly; and steam began hissing out of it all over; and then suddenly the watchers noticed that runny stuff was pouring down the insides of all the hundreds of little glass tubes and squirting out into the great tub below。 And in every single tube the runny stuff was of a different colour; so that all the colours of the rainbow (and many others as well) came sloshing and splashing into the tub。 It was a lovely sight。 And when the tub was nearly full; Mr Wonka pressed another button; and immediately the runny stuff disappeared; and a whizzing whirring noise took its place; and then a gi
