HungryOrphan  \nIn a certain town,which I have no reason toname,there is a workhouse.There,the poor of thetown toil without pay.On a date that does notmatter,Oliver Twist was born in this sad place.  \nAt first,there was some doubt that the babywould live.But after a few struggles,he breathed,sneezed,and let out a loud cry.  \nHearing this,the young mother's pale face roseweakly from the pillow.\"Let me see the child—anddie,\"she whispered hoarsely.  \nThe doctor frowned.“Come now,my girl.Youmust not talk about dying yet.\"  \nSally,the woman who had been helping,quicklyhid the bottle she had been drinking from in herpocket.Then she said,“Bless her heart,no!”  \nThe doctor placed the child in his mother'sarms.She put her cold white lips to his forehead,looked around wildly,fell back—and died.Sally and  \nOLIVER TwIST  \nthe doctor rubbed her hands and chest,but theyoung woman's heart had stopped forever.\"It's allover,\"said the doctor.\"It's a shame.She was agood-looking girl.Where did she come from?”  \n\"She was brought here last night.They said shewas found lying in the street.Where she came from,nobody knows,\"Sally answered.  \nThe doctor raised the dead woman's left hand.“Ah!No wedding ring,I see.The same old story.Well,goodnight.\"  \nOld Sally dressed the baby boy.What awonderful example of the power of dress youngOliver was!Wrapped in a fine blanket,he mighthave been the child of a rich man.But now that hewas dressed in old,worn-out baby clothes,he fellinto his place at once.He was a workhouse child,doomed to be kicked along through the world,looked down on by all,and pitied by none.  \nThe tiny boy was sent to a baby farm,run by aMrs.Mann.A wise woman,indeed,was Mrs.Mann.She was very clear about what was good for childrenand what was good for herself.She kept most ofthe food money for herself,and fed the childrenbarely enough to stay alive.  \nAs you know,dear reader,this kind of farming  \ndoes not produce much of a crop.Oliver's ninthbirthday found him a pale,thin child.Unlike manyof the children who had come to the baby farm,however,he was still alive.  \nIt was on this day that the baby farm had a mostimportant visitor.It was Mr.Bumble,the parishbeadle.Mr.Bumble was a greedy,fat man and quiteconvinced of his own importance as a minor officialat the village church.  \n“Oliver is too old to stay here any longer,”Mr.Bumble told Mrs.Mann.\"He must go to theworkhouse now.”In all the years Oliver had spentwith Mrs.Mann,not one kind word or look had evercome his way.And yet he burst into tears when hewas led away by Mr.Bumble.The farm was the onlyhome he had ever known.  \nThe workhouse was a fine home for poorpeople.It gave them a
