Listen to an audio clip

Hanging straight down to the left of Charlie, find one of his arms. (Short Pause) Feel down to find his hand and four fingers. (Short Pause) There’s something in his hand. Can you guess what it is? (Short Pause) Yes, the big flat Golden Ticket. Charlie’s holding onto it very tightly in case it gets blown away in the wind. Without it he and his Grandpa won’t get into the factory.

Go back to Charlie’s shoulders (Short Pause), across and to the right and you’ll find his other arm. (Short Pause) This is raised and bent at the elbow so he can hold Grandpa Joe’s hand.
