Oliver Twist Life in the workhouse

By Charles Dickens

Life in the workhouse was very hard and the boys were always hungry. The food was always the same every day – a bowl of soup, which was mostly water, and on Sundays a small piece of bread. The master of the workhouse served the soup from a big pot, and he gave just one bowl to each boy. The boys became so hungry that one day they decided that someone must ask for more. They thought that if one boy got more soup, they could all get more. They chose Oliver. The master served the soup as usual and the boys ate it quickly. They licked their fingers and then looked at Oliver and the big pot of soup.

"Go on then! Go on!" they whispered quietly and pushed Oliver with their elbows. Oliver was afraid, but he stood, picked up his empty bowl, and walked slowly to the master. There was complete silence. All the boys were waiting, hopefully. Oliver held out his bowl.

"Please, sir. I want some more."

The master couldn't believe his ears. He looked at Oliver's pale, thin face and the empty bowl.

"What???"

"Please, sir, I'm hungry. I haven't had enough to eat. I want some more," said Oliver again.

"Mr Bumble!" shouted the master, angrily, and he hit Oliver on the head with his big soup spoon. All the boys waited to see what would happen.

Mr Bumble appeared at the door.

"What's the matter, Master? Have the boys eaten?"

"Oliver Twist wants more soup!"

Mr Bumble's face went red and he looked very angry.

"What? It's not possible! No one has ever asked for more! Oliver Twist, you are a bad ungrateful boy."
