The Oompa–Loompas

What is the main idea of this chapter?

The Oompa–Loompas love cacao beans, but they hardly get to eat them in Loompaland. Why is that?

Mr. Wonka tells us that the Oompa–Loompa leader "�gave a great whoop of joy�" when they met. Which phrase could have been used instead of "whoop of joy" in this context?

Chocolate is made from cacao beans. Mr. Wonka needs factory workers. What deal does Mr. Wonka make with the Oompa–Loompas if they live and work in his factory?

When Mr. Wonka describes getting the Oompa–Loompas out of the country, he says, "�I smuggled them over in large packing cases with holes in them . . .�" What does it mean to "smuggle" something?

Which statements are true about the Oompa–Loompas?

Was there anything that wasn't clear to you?
