Summary

In a small town in England, there was a place called a workhouse. It was for people who had no home or money. This is where Oliver Twist was born. His mom was young and no one really knew where she came from. They found her in the streets, and she looked like she’d walked a lot because her shoes were really worn out. After she had Oliver, she got to see and kiss him. But then she got really sick and died. The doctor noticed she didn’t have a wedding ring, which meant she probably wasn’t married. Oliver was left alone in the world because no one knew anything about his family.

Mr. Bumble, a town officer, named the baby Oliver Twist. He said they gave names in alphabetical order at the workhouse, and it was Oliver’s turn for a name starting with ‘T’.

Growing up there was tough. By the time Oliver was nine, he was skinny and weak. The kids there didn’t have nice clothes and didn’t get much to eat. They had soup three times a day and a bit of bread once a week. They all ate together in a big room. They each got one bowl of soup, and they made sure to eat every last drop.

One day, Oliver and his friends were really hungry. They came up with a plan to ask for more soup after dinner. Oliver was the one who had to ask. When he did, everyone was super surprised. The head of the workhouse, a big man, was so mad that he hit Oliver with a spoon. Mr. Bumble was also really angry. Oliver had to stay in a dark room for a week and Mr. Bumble would sometimes hit him.

Soon, they put up a sign outside saying they’d give five pounds to anyone who’d take Oliver. Mr. Bumble talked to Mr. Sowerberry, who made coffins for people who died in the workhouse. He showed him the sign, hinting that maybe Sowerberry could take Oliver.

‘She was a good-looking girl,’ said the doctor, as he put on his hat and gloves.

No one was able to discover who the baby’s father was, or what his mother’s name was. Mr Bumble, an important officer in the town, invented a name for the baby. He chose the name Oliver Twist. 

We name the new babies here in order from A to Z,’ he explained when people asked. ‘I named the last one Swubble. This one is Twist. The next one will be Unwin’.

Answer: The workhouse boys usually only got three meals of thin soup per day. On Sundays, they received a small piece of bread as a special treat. The food was very meager.

‘He asked for more?’ Mr Bumble cried. He cannot believe it. One day they will hang the boy.’ 

He took Oliver away and shut him in a dark room. The next morning a notice appeared on the workhouse gate. Five pounds were offered to anybody who would take Oliver Twist.

Answer: ‘He’ refers to the doctor who was present for Oliver’s birth and examined his dead mother’s body.

When night came he tried to sleep, but he was cold, lonely and frightened.
