It was late at
night in a town in England
during the Industrial Revolution. At this time, most English towns needed
people to work in the factories that were beginning to open all over the
country. Many people came to the towns to find work, but they were often so
poor that they could not buy enough to eat and they had nowhere to sleep. So
they went to the workhouses where at least they had a bed and some sort of
food.


In one such workhouse, an old nurse and a doctor were
working in a small, dark room looking at a baby boy that had just been born.
The baby found it difficult to breathe. They did not know if he would live.


"What's
the mother's name?" the
doctor asked the nurse.


"I
don't know. She arrived at the workhouse last night," said the nurse. "She
was ill and weak when she came."


When the baby cried, the mother said weakly, "Can I
see my new baby?"


The nurse picked up the tiny boy and the mother saw him for
the first>time. She kissed him gently on the cheek and smiled. Then the
mother died.


"Poor
woman," said the
nurse. "She was so beautiful. We'll never know who she was."


The baby was called Oliver Twist. He was sent to live with
other orphans in an old house nearby. The orphans were all the children of
parents who had been destitute. A woman called Mrs Mann was given a little
money to look after the orphans, but she decided that she needed some of this
money for herself. For this reason, the boys never had very much to eat.


On his ninth birthday, Oliver was a small, weak child. He
had spent all his life in the old building with Mrs Mann, who was no kinder to
Oliver than she was to the other orphans. Oliver did not go to school and he
did not know the world outside..


One day, an important man called Mr Bumble visited Mrs
Mann. Mr Bumble was an official from the workhouse, where the older children
from poor families were big enough to work for their food.


"Now Oliver's nine, you don't need to look after
him," Mr Bumble told
Mrs Mann. "He is old enough to work for us in the workhouse."


Oliver was not sad to leave Mrs Mann, but he was sad to
leave his friends and the only home he had ever known. He felt wretched as the
door to the house was closed behind him.


"Why
are you crying? You're very lucky to work here," the managers of the workhouse told Oliver
when he arrived. "We'll give you food and a bed for
nothing."


The workhouse was a large, cold building. Oliver was
introduced to the other boys who were all as thin and weak as he was. They wore
old clothes that were too big for them.


Oliver worked hard at the workhouse with these boys and quickly realised that his life was not
going to become any easier. His bed was very uncomfortable and the food was
never enough. All they ate was a thin soup. The boys he worked with were always
hungry. After a few months, they were all so close to starving that they made a
plan. They decided they must have more food, and they chose Oliver to ask for
it.


That evening in the big, cold hall, the boys finished
eating their usual thin soup. Then Oliver stood up and walked to the master who
gave them their food.


"Please,
sir, I want some more," said Oliver.


The master was furious. No one had ever asked for more
before!


"What
did you say?" he
cried. There was now silence in the big room.


"Please,
sir, I want some more," Oliver repeated.


The master angrily took Oliver's arm and immediately led
him to the managers of the workhouse. He told them what Oliver had said.


"If he is not happy with our generosity," the managers said, "he
must leave."


They decided to lock Oliver in a room and put a message on the door of the workhouse. It said that
the workhouse would give five pounds>to anyone who could take the boy away
from them.


For weeks, Oliver stayed in the cold, dark room. He cried
himself to sleep each night, then woke up each morning and began to cry again.
He had never felt so alone.


He was only taken from the room when it was time to eat. Mr
Bumble did not want any of the other boys to ask for more food, so while they
were eating, Mr Bumble made Oliver stand in front of them. Then he beat Oliver.
This happened every day until a man called Mr Sowerberry read the message on
the workhouse gate.


Mr Sowerberry, the coffin maker, decided that he needed an
apprentice and told Mr Bumble that he could take Oliver Twist. A new chapter in
the boy's life was about to start.


The next day, Mr Bumble took Oliver from the workhouse and
walked with him to Mr Sowerberry's house. As they were walking down the street,
Mr Bumble was surprised to see that Oliver was crying.


"Why are you crying?" Mr Bumble shouted. "You
should be happy to have the opportunity to work with someone like Mr
Sowerberry."


"I'll
be a good boy," said
Oliver. "But I have no...'


"You
have no what?" asked
Mr Bumble.


"I
have no friends,"
said Oliver quietly.


Mr Bumble was not interested in Oliver's feelings. They
continued to Mr Sowerberry's house, but when Oliver's new employer saw him, he
was not very happy.


"He's
very small, Mr Bumble," Mr Sowerberry complained.


"He is
small, but he'll grow," explained Mr Bumble.


"But
it will cost money to feed him," said Mr Sowerberry's wife. She took Oliver downstairs and gave
him some old food that they had not eaten. "Now get some
sleep," said Mrs
Sowerberry. "You don't mind sleeping down in the shop, do you? There's
nowhere else to sleep in our house."


Oliver was alone in a strange, dark room, surrounded by
unfinished coffins. It was not much better than the room he had slept in at the
workhouse. It was not easy for him to sleep.


The next morning, Oliver woke up to the sound of someone
kicking the shop door. Oliver opened it and saw a tall boy with a red nose
eating some bread.


"Hello.
I'm Noah Claypole,"
he said. "You're from the workhouse, aren't you?" he continued, walking into the shop as if
he lived there. "I help Mr Sowerberry. You do what I say, Workhouse Boy. Now
open the shutters,"
he ordered, giving Oliver a small kick to make sure he knew who was the master.


Mrs Sowerberry called and asked Noah to sit by the fire to
have some breakfast. She gave Oliver a little bread and told him to eat it down
below. It was freezing cold there. "Why can't I have a good
breakfast like Noah?"
he asked, but there was no one there to hear him.


For the next few months, Oliver worked with Mr Sowerberry.
He did not like the work, but Mr Sowerberry seemed pleased with him. This,
however, did not please Noah Claypole, who was told to work inside when Oliver
went out with Mr Sowerberry.


One day, after work, the two boys were alone in the shop.


"What
happened to your mother, Workhouse Boy?" said Noah.


Oliver said quietly, "The nurse said she died of a
broken heart."


"I
heard she died in the workhouse because she was no good at anything," laughed Noah.


"What
did you say?" cried
Oliver, feeling both ashamed and angry.


"I heard that if she hadn't died, they would have punished
her," Noah cried
unkindly. Oliver stood up and started to hit Noah hard.


"Help!" shouted Noah. "He's
killing me!" Mr and
Mrs Sowerberry ran in and pulled Oliver away from Noah. "Help
me lock him in here,"
they said to Noah. They pulled Oliver into a dark cellar and locked the door.


"You
poor boy," Mrs
Sowerberry said to Noah. "We must get Mr Bumble at once."


When Mr Bumble heard what had happened, he hurried to Mr
Sowerberry's house and knocked on the door to the cellar.


"Oliver, do you know who's speaking?" he called loudly.


"Yes," said Oliver.


"Aren't
you afraid, Oliver?"
he continued in a menacing voice.


"No!"


Mr Bumble looked at Mr Sowerberry in surprise.


"I
understand the problem," said Mr Bumble. "You've given him too much
meat, Mrs Sowerberry. You've been too kind to him. Leave him in this cellar
without food for a few days, then feed him only soup," he advised.


That night, in the cold cellar, Oliver tried to cry himself
to sleep yet again. But he felt too angry to sleep. When the house was quiet,
he went to the door and realised it was not locked.


He waited until it was just
light and quietly opened the door. No one was awake and it was easy to leave
the house without anyone realising. He knew he could not stay in that place any
longer. His life was unbearable. It was time for him to run away.
