When Oliver is ten months old people send him to a branch-workhouse. There he is bringing/BROUGHT up by the elderly Mrs. Mann with other twenty children. They haven't enough food and they are badly clothed. Mrs. Mann uses the greatest part of the money from the parish authoritiesfor her own needs.
When Oliver is nine he comes back to the workhouse where he can be taught a trade. Oliver goes to a large white-washed room where nine fat gentlemen are sitting. Oliver is frightened and he begins to cry. One man says that Oliver is AN orphan. They talk for some time and Oliver stays there. The life in the workhouse is full of misery. All boys are always hungry because they eat only gruel. One time Oliver asks for some more dinner and Mr. Bumble locks him in a small dark room for all day. Next morning Oliver Twist goES from the workhouse to find any man or woman who wants an apprentice to any trade.

In the third chapter Oliver sits down to rest by the side of the milestone. It is just seventy miles from that place to London. Oliver jumps on his feet and again walks forward. He is very hungry because he hasn’t eaten all day. When the night comes, Oliver creeps under a hay-rick.
In the next morning his legs tremble beneath him as he goes on along the road. Very few people help Oliver and give the poor orphan some food.
Early on the seventh morning Oliver meets a very strange boy with little, sharp ugly eyes. Oliver talks with that boy and knows that his name is Jack Dawkins. Among his friends he is better known as the Artful Dodger.
Jack buys Oliver some bread and hum in a small public-house. Oliver goes with Jack to the muddy and narrow street, where THERE are many drunken men and women. Boys go to a back-room in one of the houses. The walls and ceiling of the room are perfectly black with age and dirt. There are five boys and AN old villainous-looking man, called Fagin in the room. Fagin talks with Oliver and then everyone goES to the supper.

In the fourth chapter Oliver wakes up late. There is no other person in the room but Fagin, who is making coffee. When the coffee is ready, Fagin takes a small box from under the floor and places it carefully on the table. His eyes glisten as he takes from the box a magnificent gold watch, sparkling with jewels, beautiful rings, bracelets and other articles of jewellery. Fagin is really angry, when he notices that Oliver looks at him. They talks, and then Dodger and Charley Bates come to the room. The four have coffee and some hot rolls and ham on/FOR breakfast. Dodger and Charley say that they have worked hard. Dodger gives Fagin a couple of pocket-books, Charley Bates gives Fagin some good wipes. Fagin praises them and laughs. Then they play a strange game, where Fagin places a snuff- box in one pocket of his trousers, a note-case in the other, and a watch in his waistcoat pocket, puts his spectacles-case and handkerchief in the another pockets. The two boys follow him and suddenly take from Fagin, with the most extraordinary rapidity, his things. Fagin cries out where they are, and the game begins all over again. Then comes two ladies, Bet and Nancy, and go away with Dodger and Charley. Oliver talks with Fagin and takes the handkerchief from his pocket. Fagin praises him and gives Oliver a shilling.

In the fifth chapter Oliver remains in the Fagin’s room for many days, picking the marks out of the pocket-handkerchiefs. When Dodger and Charley Bates come home at night, empty-handed, Fagin speaks about their laziness and the necessity of an active life, and sends them supperless to bed. Oliver asks Fagin to allow him to go out to work with the two companions.
Oliver goes along the streets with Dodger and Charley, who aren’t going to work. Oliver sees a very respectable-looking person, who is so absorbedin reading, that he see nothing but the book. Dodger draws out a handkerchief from gentleman’s pocket, hands it to Charley, and they run away.
Oliver is afraid, he runs away too, when the crowd runs after him, thinking that Oliver is a thief. Oliver fells down, and then he goes with a police officer and the old man, he doesn’t know where. They come to a court house, where Oliver searches and then locks up in a cell.
After that Oliver, Mr. Brownlow (the old man) and the officer go to Mr. Fang, who is the magistrate. They talk, the old man says that Oliver can be innocent. Oliver faints and fells to the floor. Nobody goes to him, the magistrate sentences him to hard labor. Suddenly one man runs to the room and says that the boy is innocent, that man has seen the event. The magistrate says that Oliver is discharged.
Mr. Brownlow finds Oliver lying on the pavement in the court yard and drives with the boy away on the coach.
