she reached out her hands to grab the squirrel. But as she did so in that first split second, when her hands start to go forward, there was a sudden flash of movement in the room like a flash of brown lightning and every single squirrel around the table took a flying leap towards her and landed on her body. 25 of them caught a hold of her right harm and pinned it down. 25 more caught a hold of her left arm and pinned it down. 25 caught a hold of her right leg and anchored to the ground. 24 caught hold of her left leg, and the one remaining squirrel, obviously the leader of them all, climbed up onto her shoulders and started tap tap, tapping the wretched girl's head with its knuckles. Save her! Screamed Mrs Salt, the Ruka come back! What are you doing to her? They're testing her to see if she's a bad nut, said Mr Wonka. You watch. Veruca struggled furiously, but the squirrels held her tight and she couldn't move. The squirrel on her shoulder went tap tap, tapping the side of her head with her knuckles, then all at once. The squirrels pulled Veruca to the ground and started caring her across the floor. My goodness, she is a bad. Not after all, said Mr Wonka. Her head must have sounded quite hollow. Veruca kicked and screamed, but it was no use. The teeny strong Paul's held her tightly and she couldn't escape. Well, they're taking her shrieked, Mrs Salt. She's going where all the other bad not to go, said Mr Willy Wonka, down the garbage chute. My golly, she is going down the chute, said Mr Salt, staring through the glass door at his daughter. Then save her, cried Mrs Salt. Too late, said Mr Wonka. She's gone. And indeed she had. But where shrieked Mrs Salt flapping her arms. What happens to the bad nuts? Who? Where does the shot go? That particular shoot, Mr Wonka told her, runs directly into the great big main garbage pipe, which carries away all the rubbish from every part of the factory. All the floor sweepings and potato peelings and rotting cabbages and fish heads and stuff like that who eats fish heading cabbage and potatoes in this factory? I'd like to know, said Mike TV. I do? Of course, answered, Mr Wonka. You don't think I live on cocoa beans, do you? But But what? Shrieked Mrs Salt, Where does the great big pipe go in the end? Why to the furnace? Of course, Mr Wonka said calmly toothy incinerator. Mrs. Salt opened her huge red mouth and started to scream. Don't worry, said Mr Wonka. There's always a chance that they have decided, not lighted. Today a chance? Yelled Mrs Salt, my darling, Veruca sure should be like a sausage. Quite right, my dear said, Mr Salt. Now you see here, Wonka, he added. I think you've gone just a shade too far this time. I do indeed. My daughter may be a bit of a firm. I don't mind admitting it, but that doesn't mean you can roast her to a crisp. I'll have you know, I am extremely cross about this. I really am. Oh, don't be cross, my dear sir, said Mr Wonka. I expect she'll turn up again sooner or later. She may not even have gone all the way down. She may be stuck in the shoot just below the entrance hole, and if that's the case, all you'll have to do is go in and pull her up again. Hearing this both Mr and Mrs Salt dash to the nut room and ran over to the hole in the floor and peered in. Haruka shouted, Mrs Salt, are you down there? There was no answer. Mrs Salt bent further forward to get a closer look. She was now kneeling right on the edge of the whole, with her head down and her enormous behind, sticking up in the air like a giant mushroom. It was a dangerous position to be in. She needed only one teeny push, one gentle nudge in the right place, and that is exactly what the squirrels gave her over. She toppled into the whole headfirst, screeching like apparent. Good gracious, May said Mr Salt as he watched his fat wife go tumbling down the hole. What a lot of garbage there's going to be today. He saw her disappear into the darkness. What's it like down there? Agena, he called out. He leaned further forward. The squirrels rushed up behind him. Uh, he shouted, but he was already toppling forward and down the chute. He went justice his wife had done before him and his daughter. Oh dear, cried Charlie, who was watching with others through the door. What on earth is going to happen to them now? I expect someone will catch them at the bottom of the chute, said Mr Wonka. But what about the great fiery incinerator? Asked Charlie. They only light it every other day, said Mr Wonka. Perhaps this is one of the days they will let it go out. You never know and they might be lucky, she said. Grandpa Joe Air comes another song from far away. Down the quarter came the beating of the drums. Then the singing began. She reached out her hands to grab the squirrel. But as she did so in that first split second, when her hands start to go forward, there was a sudden flash of movement in the room like a flash of brown lightning and every single squirrel around the table took a flying leap towards her and landed on her body.
