27 Mike Teavee is Sent by Television
Mike Teavee was even more excited than Grandpa Joe at seeing a bar of chocolate being
sent by television. ‘But Mr Wonka,’ he shouted, ‘can you send other things through the air
in the same way? Breakfast cereal, for instance?’
‘Oh, my sainted aunt!’ cried Mr Wonka. ‘Don’t mention that disgusting stuff in front of
me! Do you know what breakfast cereal is made of? It’s made of all those little curly
wooden shavings you find in pencil sharpeners!’
‘But could you send it by television if you wanted to, as you do chocolate?’ asked
Mike Teavee.
‘Of course I could!’
‘And what about people?’ asked Mike Teavee. ‘Could you send a real live person from
one place to another in the same way?’
‘A person!’ cried Mr Wonka. ‘Are you off your rocker?’
‘But could it be done?’
‘Good heavens, child, I really don’t know… I suppose it could… yes. I’m pretty sure it
could… of course it could… I wouldn’t like to risk it, though… it might have some very
nasty results…’
But Mike Teavee was already off and running. The moment he heard Mr Wonka
saying, ‘I’m pretty sure it could… of course it could,’ he turned away and started running
as fast as he could towards the other end of the room where the great camera was
standing1. ‘Look at me!’ he shouted as he ran. ‘I’m going to be the first person in the
world to be sent by television!’
‘No, no, no, no!’ cried Mr Wonka.
‘Mike!’ screamed Mrs Teavee. ‘Stop! Come back! You’ll be turned into a million tiny
pieces!’
But there was no stopping Mike Teavee now. The crazy boy rushed on, and when he
reached the enormous camera, he jumped straight for the switch, scattering2 Oompa-
Loompas right and left as he went.
‘See you later, alligator3!’ he shouted, and he pulled down the switch, and as he did so,
he leaped out into the full glare of the mighty4 lens.
There was a blinding flash.
Then there was silence.
