Oliver Twist

Oliver Twist is an orphan. The mother died when he is a little boy. He lives in the orphanage in England. In the Orphanage the children work untying ropes. At dinner time the children are hungry. The menu of the lunch and the dinner is soup and bread. In order to ask for more food during the dinner, they put some different size threads in a bag and the boy who took the shortest thread lost the bet.

The purpose was to say to the cooker “I want some more” in the next dinner.

The boss of the orphanage sold Oliver to a gravedigger, but Oliver escaped because he fought against the other boy.

Oliver slept on the street because he didn’t have a house or money. One boy said to Oliver to go with him and his colleagues. Oliver accepted and went with the boy. But in this “family”, they are thieves, because the boss of this family takes orphan boys and teach them how to steal.
