MR SOWERBERRY’S SHOP When Oliver arrived at Mr Sowerberry’s shop, Mr Sowerberry called his wife to give Oliver something to eat. He was given the dog’s food rests. He was so hungry that he ate it quickly. Mr Sowerberry told Oliver he could sleep on the floor near the coffins in the shop. Oliver was really sad and afraid that night. The next morning a boy, Noah Claypole, woke Oliver up. Noah told Oliver that he had to work under him. Noah wasn’t a good person because he was jealous of Oliver. One day Noah said bad things about Oliver’s mother and Oliver got furious and hit Noah. Noah pretended he was crying so that Oliver could be punished. Mrs Sowerberry came to the kitchen and saw the two boys quarrelling and fighting and locked Oliver in a dark coal room. Noah called Mr Bumble and told him what had happened in the kitchen so Mr Bumble beat Oliver. That night Oliver fell to the floor and cried all night. Early the next morning he put a few clothes in a handkerchief and escaped.
ON THE ROAD TO LONDON Oliver didn’t know where to go. He was very tired. He decided to go to London, because Mr Bumble couldn’t find him there. Oliver only had some bread to eat. The next morning he was cold and hungry because he had slept near the road and he had eaten too little food, but he didn’t give up and started his journey again. As the days passed, Oliver became very weak. He arrived in a little town near London. Here a strange boy looked at Oliver: the boy was short, he had big ears and little eyes. The boy’s name was Jack Dawkins, but everyone called him ‘Dodger’. Dodger asked Oliver if he wanted to stay with him. Oliver was happy to accept his help. They arrived in London, in front of an old black house. They entered a dark, dirty room full of young boys. An ugly old man was with them. He had red hair and a red beard. He wore dirty clothes. He was Fagin.
