Oliver Twist - Stewart Ross
Chapter 1
The Workhouse Boy
At the beginning of our story, almost two hundred years ago, a young woman is lying in the street. She is very pretty but also very poor and very sick. She is expecting a baby.
No one knows her name.
She is carried into a workhouse, the ugly building for poor people without a home. That night, she gives birth to a baby boy—and dies. Her only jewels, a ring and locket, are stolen.

At mealtimes, the boys were given a bowl of thin porridge, known as gruel.
They grew thinner and thinner, hungrier and hungrier. Oliver feared that one of the bigger boys was hungry enough to eat him!
They decided they must do something or starve to death. One of them would tell the cook what they all wanted. They drew lots
