Two More Golden Tickets Found
That evening, Mr Bucket's newspaper announced the finding of not only the third Golden Ticket, but the fourth as well. TWO GOLDEN TICKETS FOUND TODAY, screamed the headlines. ONLY ONE MORE LEFT.
'All right,' said Grandpa Joe, when the whole family was gathered in the old people's room after supper, 'let's hear who found them.'
'The third ticket,' read Mr Bucket, holding the newspaper up close to his face because his eyes were bad and he couldn't afford glasses, 'the third ticket was found by a Miss Violet Beauregarde. There was great excitement in the Beauregarde household when our reporter arrived to interview the lucky young lady — cameras were clicking and flashbulbs were flashing and people were pushing and jostling and trying to get a bit closer to the famous girl. And the famous girl was standing on a chair in the living room waving the Golden Ticket madly at arm's length as though she were flagging a taxi. She was talking very fast and very loudly to everyone, but it was not easy to hear all that she said because she was chewing so ferociously upon a piece of gum at the same time.

又发现了两张金参观卷
那天晚上，巴克特先生带来的晚报上宣布，不光是第三张金参观券给发现了，第四张也被发现了。赫然的大标题写着：
今日发现两张金参观券，只剩下一张啦！
晚饭后，全家又集中在老人们的房间里，这时乔爷爷说道：“好吧，让我们来听听谁发现了这两张参观券。”
“这第三张参观券，”巴克特先生读了起来，他把报纸紧贴着脸，因为他视力很差却又买不起眼镜，“第三张参观券是一位叫维奥勒·博勒加德的小姐发现的。当我们的记者去采访这位幸运的小姐时，博勒加德家里一片欢腾，热闹异常——照相机不停地咔嚓咔嚓响着，闪光灯一闪一闪，人们你推我拥。都想着一看这位出了名的女孩。这个女孩站在客厅里的一把椅子上，伸长手臂发疯似地挥动着那张金参观券，好象她正在招手叫一辆出租汽车。她正又快又响地对人们讲话，但是要听清她在说些什么实在不容易，因为她同时正拼命地在大嚼口香糖。
