Willy Wonka saved them from difficult living conditions and invited them to work for him in his chocolate factory. They have green hair, bright clothes and faces full of mischief. They like to sing, dance, and make candy. Through the catchy songs of the Oompa-Loompas, the main characters of the story receive moral lessons
Willy Wonka is therefore very altruistic, he has a sense of justice and morality.
