A talk about Charles Dickens :
Have you heard of Charles Dickens? After Shakespeare he is probably the most famous
writer in the English language. He is the best known for his novels about life in
nineteenth century Britain
Dickens was born in 1812 into a good family in Portsmouth, in the south of England
.When he was still a young boy, his father went to prison in 1824, because he had got into
debt Charles went to London to earn money for the family.
At the age of twelve , he was working for ten hours a day in a London factory . He
saw how hard life was for poor people and many of the ideas for the stories of his novels and
the characters in them came from this time.
After he left the factory. Dickens went to work as an office clerk , but he did not
enjoy this. In 1834 he started work as a newspaper journalist While he was working for the
newspaper, he was also writing magazine stories about life in London.
Instead of using his real name he called himself Boz for these stories. In 1836
Dickens married Catherine Hogarth. He went on to write Oliver Twist in 1838 and
Nicholas Nickleby in 1839. David Copperfield followed
in 1850. In 1858 Dickens went to America to read his novels to people.
A tale of two cities in 1859, and Great Expectations in 1861.
In "Oliver Twist"; Dickens show the dark side of life in the nineteenth century London.
He describes the lives of child workers and life in the workhouse , where very poor people
were sent to live and work. Dickens died in 1870. When he died, Dickens was 58 years.
A cricket is a kind of jumping insect which makes a loud noise. In this book, a family has a
cricket living on the hearth in their house. In the past, people thought that if you saw a cricket,
good things would happen to you, so the family in the story is happy to have it in their home.
The cricket on the hearth:
Caleb Plummer and his blind daughter Bertha lived together in a little house. They made toys
and their house belonged to the businessman who they worked for, Mr. Tackleton. Caleb and
Bertha were very poor, but Caleb looked after Bertha very well.
Bertha had been blind since she was born. Her father wanted her to have a happy life, so he
didn't tell her what their life was really like. Bertha didn't know that the ceilings were cracked
and the plaster was falling off the walls She never knew that everything around her was old and
poor. She didn't realize that her father was a grey-haired old man. She thought that they
lived in a comfortable home; she thought that she had a well-dressed father and that Mr.
Tackleton was a good employer. Because her father was kind, Bertha was always happy.
This changed one day when she heard Mr. Tackleton talking to her father. Mr. Tackleton was
angry and was shouting at her father. Bertha was sad and didn't talk to her father all day.
Her father realized that she had heard the argument. I have always tried to be good to you,
but I have failed," he said. Bertha didn't understand her father's words. Bertha, I
wanted you to be happy, so since the day that you were born I have hidden the truth from you.
I have changed things, invented things and told you stories that were not the truth."
I have been really blind, replied Bertha. I had never realized until today how kind and loving you have
been."
Caleb looked at his daughter. He was very surprised by her words. Finally, she said, " I have
always been happy, but now I will be even happier."

The brain is more complex than the most powerful computer. With it you can see
and smell flowers, remember holidays, feel pain, hear your favourite singers
voice and think. It weighs a kilo.
Your brain has about a hundred billion (100,000.000.000) cells (the smallest part of
an animal or plant that can exist on its own), and controls everything you do. It
receives information from your senses, analyses it, then sends messages. For
example, when you put your hand in hot water, you think, That hurts! and you
take your hand out of the water. Your brain receives the message, Very hot" from
your hand, then immediately sends a message back to your hand, "Take your hand
out of the water."
Our senses often work together. For example, try this experiment. Cut a piece of
apple, banana and orange. Close your eyes, hold your nose, then taste the fruit.
Can you taste the difference between the fruits? Probably not. This is because
when you eat something, your brain receives messages from your mouth, eyes
and nose.
Your brain also stores past memories and this makes learning and remembering
possible. At the same time, your brain controls your breathing, your heart, your
body temperature and your digestion.
When you hear a sound, your brain tries to guess where it is coming from. So, if
you hear a ringing sound and see a telephone, your brain may guess that the
telephone is ringing. But if someone picks up the phone and the ringing sound
continues, your brain will guess again. Maybe it's a mobile phone or a film on TV.
Scientists say that our brains always think that light comes downwards, perhaps
because sunlight comes down. Our brains first think that the telephone is ringing
because our eyes can see the telephone and we can hear the ringing.

The national census
In 1800, two percent of the world's population lived in cities. Today, it is over 50
percent and by 2030, it may increase to 60 percent. Across the world, about 180,000 people
move to cities every day. It is not easy for governments to know the country's population or
how many people are living in each part of large cities. For that reason, many countries carry
out a census to get correct information. This is a questionnaire in which all the people of a
country are asked questions about their lives.
The ancient Egyptians started doing a census in around 2500 BCE, to find out how many
workers were available to build the Pyramids and how much land farmers could use along the
Nile. In Egypt today, the Central Agency for Population Mobilisation and Statistics (CAPMAS) do
a national census every ten years. The first modern census was in 1882 and there have been
13 more since then.
Thousands of researchers visit people's houses across Egypt and ask people to complete a
form. The form asks for information about members of the family in the house, their
nationality, religion, education, work and health. It also asks for information about the house: the
number of rooms, if it has electricity or gas, where the water comes from, etc.
It is very important for people to complete these forms so that the government knows
how comfortably people are living and can help to solve any problems. The information from
the census helps the government to plan how many hospitals and roads they will need to build
and where to build them. It also helps them to improve schools or build new schools if needed.
This will help us all to lead better and healthier lives in the future.

and Lorries. Air which is polluted by exhaust fumes
can damage your health as well as the environment.

Scientists are working on the problem of exhaust
pollution. Now, all cars burn petrol more efficiently
than in the past. Scientists have also designed engines
which use natural gas, and many buses in Cairo and
other cities use these engines.
Electric cars
Engineers also designed electric cars that use
batteries. The batteries in early electric cars could
not store as much fuel as petrol vehicles. This meant
that they could not travel as far or as fast as petrol
cars.
Now, however, engineers have designed cars
which use both electricity and petrol. When the
battery is empty the petrol engine takes over, and
when the car uses petrol, this recharges the battery.
These cars can go further, using the same amount of
petrol as ordinary cars.
The newest ideas
Scientists have also discovered that cars can run
on vegetable oil, which mean, that farmers will be
able to grow fuel in their fields. And now engineers
are working on a new type of car battery which
makes energy out of hydrogen and oxygen. Experts
believe that we may be able to buy cars using these
batteries in the next ten years.
The end of oil
62
We know that at some time in the future, there
will be no oil in the world, so we need to find
replacement for petrol as soon as possible.

Bird Flu:
Bird flu is a subject that is worrying many people. Human can catch bird flu. By 2007 more
than 300 people had caught the disease. But only about half of these people died. But we
shouldnt worry - it is very unusual for humans to catch this disease. They have to be very
near infected birds. It is extremely unusual for humans to catch bird flu from other
humans.
Experts believe the recent outbreak of bird flu started in 2003 in Asia. 100 million birds
were killed to try to stop the disease, but by 2005 to 2006, there were new outbreaks in
Africa, the Middle East and Europe. The disease has not disappeared. Its still with us, but
it's under control.
All kinds of wild birds as well as farm birds, like chickens and other animals, like cats, can
catch bird flu.
What should people do to protect themselves? Most people who catch bird flu live very near
to birds, which have the disease. If you have touched an infected bird, you must wash very
well. If you think you may have the disease, you must see your doctor.

William Shakespeare
William Shakespeare was born on April, 23rd, 1564, in Stratford in the Midlands of
England. His father was a glove maker. William went to school when he was 7, but he
had to leave at the age of 14 because his family had financial problems.
When he was 18, Shakespeare married a farmers daughter called Anne Heathway.
William and Anne had three children. After that no one is sure what Shakespeare did
but, in 1592, he left his family and went to London to become an actor.
Soon he started writing poems, and one of his longest poems, "Venus and Adonis,
was so successful that it made him famous. If he hadnt found a patron at this time,
he wouldn't have become a famous writer.
By 1594, Shakespeare was a well-known actor and writer who wrote and
performed for a theatre group called The King's Men. Shakespeare had started
writing in 1588 and, for the next 17 years, he wrote two plays a year. Many of these
were performed at The Globe Theatre near to the River Thames in London. His five
famous plays are probably Romeo and Juliet written in 1596, A Midsummer Night's
Dream in 1596, Hamlet in 1601, King Lear in 1606 and Macbeth in 1606. Shakespeare
part-owned The Globe Theatre, and made a lot of money from it. He had enough to
buy a very large House in Stratford, and he retired there in 1611. Shakespeare died
on April 23, 1616.
King Lear
Lear is the King of Britain. When he is old, he decides to give his country to his
three daughters, Goneril, Regan and Cordelia. But before he does this, he asks
them to tell him how much they love him. Two of the daughters, Goneril and Regan,
say they love him much more than they really do. The third daughter, Cordelia, does
not say very much. She does not know how to describe her love for her father. Lear
is angry with Cordelia, and gives all his money and land to Goneril and Regan.
Cordelia is sent away and goes to live in France where she marries the king.
Old Lear soon discovers that he has made a terrible mistake. It is soon obvious to
him that Goneril and Regan said that they loved him only so that they could have his
79
money and his country. The truth is that they do not love their father at all. Lear
wanders around the country with his last two good friends until they arrive in Dover.
Cordelia hears what has happened to her father. She comes to England with
soldiers to try to save him and to take his country back from her two sisters. English
soldiers arrive in Dover and beat the French. Cordelia and Lear are captured and
taken to prison. Here, Cordelia tells her father how much she really loves him.

Congratulations Thank you, Im very pleased.
In todays programme, we hear about a brave man whose story will inspire many
young people. The brave mans name is Mahomoud Mohamed Youssef. He likes doing
Kung fu and decided to be a PE teacher. One day, the bus that Mahmoud was travelling
on made an accident. It fell off 6th October Bridge and crashed to the ground. Mahmoud
woke up in hospital. Doctors at the hospital told him that he would never walk again.
This was very difficult for him because before the accident, he had been a champion in
Kung fu. Mahmoud decided to practice another sport using his hands. He decided to be a
wheelchair tennis player. After many hours of hard work, Mahmoud became very good
at it. He began to train until he began competing in wheelchair tennis, ranked as Egypts
top second player. He recently participated in tournaments in Holland and Kenya.
Helen Keller
It is very hard for people who cannot see or hear. It is even more difficult to enjoy a full
life if you are both blind and deaf, but that is what happened to an American woman
called Helen Keller. Incredibly Helen lived a busy life, wrote many books and travelled to
many places before she died, aged 87, in 1968.
Helen was born in a rural area of the USA. She couldn't see or hear anything because of
an illness she had as a baby. When she was seven, her parents asked a tutor called Anne
Sullivan to help their child. Anne couldn't see very well herself but was very patient with
Helen. She soon understood that this little girl was very intelligent. Anne used touch to
teach her to communicate with her hands. Helen then learnt how to read using Braille
and even learned several languages.
When she was 20, Helen went to university and in 1904, she became the first deaf and
blind person to graduate. While she was at university, Helen also wrote the first of her
many books, called The Story of My Life. Helen later worked for the American
92
Foundation for the Blind, an organisation that helps people who cannot see throughout
the world. As part of her work, she travelled to 35 countries. Helen inspired not only
blind people, but others, too. Two films were made about her life and she won many
awards for her work.

Chapter I
It was late at night in a town in England during the Industrial Revolution. At this time,
most English towns needed people to work in the factories that were beginning to open all
over the country. Many people came to the towns to find work, but they were often so
poor that they could not buy enough to eat and they had nowhere to sleep. So they went to
the workhouses where at least they had a bed and some sort of food. In one such
workhouse, an old nurse and a doctor were working in a small, dark room looking at a baby
boy that had just been born. The baby found it difficult to breathe. They did not know if he
would live. "What's the mother's name?" the doctor asked the nurse. "I don't know. She
arrived at the workhouse last night," said the nurse. "She was ill and weak when she came."
When the baby cried, the mother said weakly, "Can I see my new baby?" The nurse picked
up the tiny boy and the mother saw him for the first time. She kissed him gently on the
cheek and smiled. Then the mother died. "Poor woman," said the nurse. "She was so
beautiful. We'll never know who she was."
The baby was called Oliver Twist. He was sent to live with other orphans in an old house
nearby. The orphans were all the children of parents who had been destitute. A woman
called Mrs Mann was given a little money to look after the orphans, but she decided that
she needed some of this money for herself. For this reason, the boys never had very much
99
to eat. On his ninth birthday, Oliver was a small, weak child. He had spent all his life in the
old building with Mrs Mann, who was no kinder to Oliver than she was to the other
orphans. Oliver did not go to school and he did not know the world outside.
One day, an important man called Mr Bumble visited Mrs Mann. Mr Bumble was an
official from the workhouse, where the older children from poor families were big enough
to work for their food. "Now Oliver's nine, you don't need to look after him," Mr Bumble
told Mrs Mann. "He is old enough to work for us in the workhouse." Oliver was not sad to
leave Mrs Mann, but he was sad to leave his friends and the only home he had ever known.
He felt wretched as the door to the house was closed behind him. "Why are you crying?
You're very lucky to work here," the managers of the workhouse told Oliver when he
arrived. "We'll give you food and a bed for nothing." The workhouse was a large, cold
building. Oliver was introduced to the other boys who were all as thin and weak as he was.
They wore old clothes that were too big for them.
Oliver worked hard at the workhouse with these boys and I quickly realised that his
life was not going to become any easier. His bed was very uncomfortable and the food was
never enough. All they ate was a thin soup. The boys he worked with were always hungry.
After a few months, they were all so close to starving that they made a plan. They decided
they must have more food, and they chose Oliver to ask for it. That evening in the big, cold
hall, the boys finished eating their usual thin soup. Then Oliver stood up and walked to the
master who gave them their food. "Please, sir, I want some more," said Oliver. The master
was furious. No one had ever asked for more before! "What did you say?" he cried. There
was now silence in the big room. "Please, sir, I want some more," Oliver repeated.
The master angrily took Oliver's arm and immediately led him to the managers of the
workhouse. He told them what Oliver had said. "If he is not happy with our generosity," the
managers said, "he must leave." They decided to lock Oliver in a room and put a message
on the door of the workhouse. It said that the workhouse would give five pounds, to
anyone who could take the boy away from them. For weeks, Oliver stayed in the cold, dark
room. He cried himself to sleep each night, then woke up each morning and began to cry
again. He had never felt so alone. He was only taken from the room when it was time to
eat. Mr Bumble did not want any of the other boys to ask for more food, so while they were
eating, Mr Bumble made Oliver stand in front of them. Then he beat Oliver.
This happened every day until a man called Mr Sowerberry read the message on the
workhouse gate. Mr Sowerberry, the coffin maker, decided that he needed an apprentice
and told Mr Bumble that he could take Oliver Twist. A new chapter in the boy's life was
about to start. The next day, Mr Bumble took Oliver from the workhouse and walked with
him to Mr Sowerberry's house. As they were walking down the street, Mr Bumble was
surprised to see that Oliver was crying. "Why are you crying?" Mr Bumble shouted. "You
should be happy to have the opportunity to work with someone like Mr Sowerberry. "Ill be
a good boy," said Oliver. "But I have no ... '"You have no what?" asked Mr Bumble. "I have
no friends," said Oliver quietly.
Mr Bumble was not interested in Oliver's feelings. They continued to Mr Sowerberry's
house, but when Oliver's new employer saw him, he was not very happy. "He's very small,
100
Mr Bumble," Mr Sowerberry complained. "He is small, but he'll grow," explained Mr
Bumble. "But it will cost money to feed him," said Mr Sowerberry's wife. She took Oliver
downstairs and gave him some old food that they had not eaten. "Now get some sleep,"
said Mrs Sowerberry. "You don't mind sleeping down in the shop, do you? There's nowhere
else to sleep in our house." Oliver was alone in a strange, dark room, surrounded by
unfinished coffins. It was not much better than the room he had slept in at the workhouse.
It was not easy for him to sleep.
The next morning, Oliver woke up to the sound of someone kicking the shop door.
Oliver opened it and saw a tall boy with a red nose eating some bread. "Hello. I'm Noah
Claypole," he said. "You're from the workhouse, aren't you?" he continued, walking into the
shop as if he lived there. "I help Mr Sowerberry. You do what I say, Workhouse Boy. Now
open the shutters," he ordered, giving Oliver a small kick to make sure he knew who was
the master. Mrs Sowerberry called and asked Noah to sit by the fire to have some breakfast.
She gave Oliver a little bread and told him to eat it down below. It was freezing cold there.
"Why can't I have a good breakfast like Noah?" he asked, but there was no one there to
hear him. For the next few months, Oliver worked with Mr Sowerberry. He did not like the
work, but Mr Sowerberry seemed pleased with him. This, however, did not please Noah
Claypole, who was told to work inside when Oliver went out with Mr Sowerberry.
One day, after work, the two boys were alone in the shop. "What happened to your
mother, Workhouse Boy?" said Noah. Oliver said quietly, "The nurse said she died of a
broken heart." "I heard she died in the workhouse because she was no good at anything,"
laughed Noah. "What did you say?" cried Oliver, feeling both ashamed and angry. "I heard
that if she hadn't died, they would have punished her," Noah cried unkindly. Oliver stood up
and started to hit Noah hard. "Help!" shouted Noah. "He's killing me!" Mr and Mrs
Sowerberry ran in and pulled Oliver away from Noah. "Help me lock him in here," they said
to Noah. They pulled Oliver into a dark cellar and locked the door. "You poor boy," Mrs
Sowerberry said to Noah. "We must get Mr Bumble at once."
When Mr Bumble heard what had happened, he hurried to Mr Sowerberry's house and
knocked on the door to the cellar. "Oliver, do you know who's speaking?" he called loudly.
"Yes," said Oliver. "Aren't you afraid, Oliver?" he continued in a menacing voice. "No!" Mr
Bumble looked at Mr Sowerberry in surprise. "I understand the problem," said Mr Bumble.
"You've given him too much meat, Mrs Sowerberry. You've been too kind to him. Leave him
in this cellar without food for a few days, then feed him only soup," he advised. That night,
in the cold cellar, Oliver tried to cry himself to sleep yet again. But he felt too angry to sleep.
When the house was quiet, he went to the door and realised it was not locked. He waited
until it was just light and quietly opened the door. No one was awake and it was easy to
leave the house without anyone realising. He knew he could not stay in that place any
longer. His life was unbearable. It was time for him to run away.

Chapter 2
At first Oliver was careful to hide when he saw people in the street, thinking they would want
to take him back to Mr Sowerberry, but he relaxed after a few hours. Surely no one was
following him now.
He saw a sign which said "London, 70 miles." He did not know how long this would take to
walk, but he decided that London would be a good place for him to go. Even Mr Bumble would
not be able to find him in that great city he had heard of where there would be so many
opportunities for him. He followed the signs to London for seven days, sleeping in fields and
eating very little. Although a few kind people gave him food, he felt hungry and weak. Finally,
he sat down to rest in the street of a small village.
Another poor boy of about his age, who was wearing a man's coat and a tall hat, came and sat
next to him.
"You look hungry. Where are you going?" said the boy. "I'm going to London," Oliver replied.
"Have you got a room there? Or any money?" Oliver said that he had almost nothing. "Well, I
know a man who will give you work and a room for nothing," he said cheerfully. "My name's
Jack Dawkins," he continued, "although my friends call me the Artful Dodger." Jack seemed to
be kind. He bought Oliver a meal and then said he could show him the way to London, but only
when it was dark.
It was not too far to London, but it was not what Oliver had expected. Jack took Oliver through
streets that were poorer and dirtier than he had ever seen, and he thought perhaps he should
run away again. Then they arrived in front of an old house, and when Jack called out, a door
opened and they went inside.
Jack led him to a large and dark back room with a fire in one corner. Next to the fire, an ugly
old man with red hair was cooking something in a big pan. Four or five boys sat on old beds
around the fire.
"This is Oliver," said Jack. At once, the boys stood up and began to take Oliver's few things
from him.
The old man laughed. "I'm Fagin," he said. "Sit down and have some food."
Oliver sat by the fire and ate. Then, before he knew it, he fell asleep.
When he woke up, the room was quiet. He saw Fagin sitting at a table taking some things out
of a wooden box. He looked carefully at a gold watch and some expensive jewellery before
putting them back in the box. He then looked at Oliver. When he saw that Oliver was awake, he
jumped up and quickly closed the wooden box.
"What did you see?" he shouted, taking a knife in one hand.
"Nothing, sir," said Oliver nervously. "Can I get up now?"
"Yes, of course," said Fagin, putting the knife down again.
Oliver relaxed and looked around the room. He thought the old gentleman must be a miser to
live in such an old place, with so much jewellery and so many watches. He thought that
perhaps Fagin used all his money to look after the boys. At that moment, Jack Dawkins arrived
with a boy called Charley Bates.
106
"I hope you've been at work this morning, boys," Fagin said when he saw them.
"We've been working hard," said Jack.
"Good. What have you got?" Fagin asked Jack.
Jack showed him some notebooks and Fagin looked at them carefully
"They're well made, aren't they?" Fagin said to Oliver.
"Yes, very well made," answered Oliver.
Fagin and the boys found this very funny, although Oliver did not know why. Then Charley
showed Fagin some silk handkerchiefs.
"They're good ones," said Fagin. "But they have marks on them. We can show Oliver how to
take off the marks." "Thank you, sir," said Oliver.
Charley laughed again and said, "The boy is so very young!"
"Let's have breakfast, then we'll show Oliver our little game," said Fagin.
When they had eaten, Fagin put a watch in one of his pockets, a notebook in another pocket
and a wallet in another. Then he walked around the room, pretending to be looking in shop
windows. Oliver thought that.this game was very funny. Jack and Charley then walked very
close to Fagin and without Oliver realising it, they suddenly had the watch, the notebook and
the wallet in their hands.
"Very good," said Fagin. "Now you try, Oliver."
Oliver walked behind Fagin and took a handkerchief from his pocket.
"Has it gone?" asked Fagin. "Well done, I felt nothing," he cried. "You're a clever boy. You'll
be as successful as the Artful Dodger."
Oliver did not understand how taking handkerchiefs could make you successful, but because
the old man was kind and gave him food, he did not question his advice.
After a few days of practising the game, Fagin told Oliver that he was ready to go out into the
streets of London with Charley and the Artful Dodger.
A few hours later, Oliver found himself in a strange London street with his two new friends. The
Artful Dodger pointed to a gentleman who was reading a book outside a bookshop. "Look!
He'll do," he said to Charley.
Oliver watched as the two boys walked quietly behind the gentleman and carefully took a
handkerchief from his pocket. Oliver suddenly understood why Fagin had so many watches and
silk handkerchiefs and such a lot of jewellery. The boys were thieves!
Before he knew what was happening, the gentleman turned round and called out, "Stop!
Thief!" Oliver started to run away, but now everyone in the street was pointing at him and
calling,
"Stop him! He's a thief!"
Suddenly Oliver fell over and a crowd of people stood all around him.
"Is this the boy?" someone called.
"Yes, that's him." Oliver saw the gentleman looking down at him.
"The poor boy is hurt," the man said. At that moment a policeman arrived and told Oliver to
stand up.
"It wasn't me!" cried Oliver.
"Oh, yes it was," called the policeman, who led Oliver roughly down the street. The crowd of
people and the gentleman followed the policeman down to the police station. "I don't think he
did it," said the gentleman as Oliver was locked in a room.
"Don't worry, sir," said a police officer. "A magistrate will see him soon. He'll decide."
107
The gentleman, who was called Mr Brownlow, was puzzled. Where had he seen the boy
before?
A little while later, Oliver was called to see the magistrate. When the magistrate heard what
had happened, it was quickly decided that Oliver should go to prison. On hearing the news,
Oliver felt ill and fainted. He was carried out of the room.
The magistrate was going to send everyone home when the owner of the bookshop suddenly
appeared. "It wasn't that boy!" he said to the magistrate. "It was two other boys. He was with
them, but he didn't take anything," he explained. "I saw the other boys running away."
"Why didn't you tell me this before?" called the magistrate. "Let the boy go free and stop
wasting my time."
As he left the building, Mr Brownlow saw Oliver lying down on the street outside. "Poor boy,"
he said. "Somebody call a coach. He must come home with me."
**
Oliver was carefully put inside a coach and taken to Mr Brownlow's house, but he did not
remember the journey.
Oliver was very ill. He slept for many days in a warm, comfortable bed in Mr Brownlow's large
house in a good part of London. When he at last woke up, he said, "What room is this?"
An old lady quickly appeared and smiled at hirm "You must be quiet, or you'll be ill again. Lie
down, there's a dear!" said the woman, Mrs Bedwin, who looked after the house.
So Oliver stayed in bed, and it was several days before he was well enough to go downstairs.
He walked slowly into a beautiful room and saw Mr Brownlow smiling at him.
"You look a little better," said Mr Brownlow. Then he looked puzzled again. "But what is this?
Look there."
He pointed to a painting of a pretty woman on the wall above Oliver's head. Oliver was
amazed. He could see that the
eyes, the head and the mouth were almost the same as his own.
**
After Oliver was taken by the policeman, Charley and the Artful Dodger ran quickly back to the
old house. Fagin was so angry to hear what had happened to Oliver that he threw a cup of
coffee at Charley.
"Stop wasting good coffee," said a deep voice. Fagin looked round and saw an angry looking
man with big, strong shoulders. "What are you doing, Fagin?" he shouted.
"Sorry, Bill," said Fagin, "but we have a problem."
He explained to Mr Sikes, or Bill, as Fagin called him, what had happened to Oliver. "Oliver will
probably tell the police where we are and what we do," explained Fagin.
"We need to speak to him quickly," said Mr Sikes. "The police don't know Nancy, so she can
go and find out what's happened," he suggested.
Nancy was a young woman who worked for Mr Sikes. She put on her best clothes and set off
for the police station, but when she got there, she was told that Oliver had gone.
"A police officer told me that he went somewhere in a coach with a gentleman called Mr
Brownlow," Nancy told Fagin when she got back.
When Fagin heard the news, he cried out, "We must find out where he is before he tells
anyone about us!"
He then gave Nancy and the Artful Dodger some money.
"Go and find Oliver. Don't stop until you find him, not even for a minute."

CHAPTER 3
When Oliver woke up the next day, he found that the painting of the woman on the wall
had gone. "We took it down because it seemed to worry you," said Mrs Bedwin.
"But I liked it," protested Oliver. "Get well, then, Oliver, and we can put it back." A few
days later, when Oliver was almost completely better, Mr Brownlow bought him some new
clothes. Then, one day, he sat down with Oliver and asked the boy about his life. Oliver
started to tell Mr Brownlow about his time at the workhouse but suddenly there was a
knock at the door. An old gentleman in a blue coat entered the room. "Oliver, this is my
friend Mr Grimwig," said Mr Brownlow. "Hello, is this the boy you told me about?" said
114
the man when he saw Oliver. "Yes," said Mr Brownlow, and he began to tell Mr Grimwig all
about Oliver. He had not quite finished describing Oliver's life when Mrs Bedwin came into
the room with some books. "We need to pay for these new books, Mr Brownlow," she
said. "Send the boy to pay for them," said Mr Grimwig. "Yes, do let me help you, sir," said
Oliver. "Of course," said Mr Brownlow. "Here's five pounds. Take the money to the
bookshop. I need one pound change. Some of the books need to go back, too." Oliver
was very pleased to help Mr Brownlow. He took the money, put the books under his arm
and then left. "Do you really think he'll come back?" asked Mr Grimwig. "Of course," said
Mr Brownlow. "Don't you?" "He has new clothes, some books and five pounds. The boy
will go straight to his friends the thieves and never come back." "I'm sure he'll be back
soon," said Mr Brownlow. But he looked worried.
Oliver was enjoying his walk to the bookshop when suddenly; a strange woman
grabbed him by the arm. "There you are!" she said. "I've found him!" "What are you
stopping me for?'' asked Oliver in surprise. Let go of me." Some people in the street
began to look at them. "He's run away from home," the woman explained to them. "I'm
taking him back to his mother and father." Then a man appeared who seemed to know
the woman and said, "Come with me, Oliver, you bad boy." Oliver was not strong enough
to run away, and he was led away by the man, who was Mr Sikes, and the woman, who
was Nancy. For half an hour Oliver was led like this through busy streets until they reached
an old shop. Oliver was taken inside and there he saw Fagin, Charley and the Artful
Dodger. When the boys saw him, they started laughing. "Look at his clothes and books!
What a gentleman!" laughed Charley. "We must give you different clothes so those don't
get dirty," said Fagin. "And I will have this five pound note for our troubles," said Mr
Sikes, taking the money from Oliver's pocket. "You can have the books, Fagin." "Please,
take the books and money back to Mr Brownlow," said Oliver. "He has been so good to
me. He'll think I stole them!" "You're right, Oliver. He will think you stole them!" laughed
Fagin.
Oliver tried to escape, but Mr Sikes held on to him and began to beat him with a stick.
"Don't do that to the boy!" cried Nancy. "He's already a thief like me. You've got his
money. Leave him alone or Ill call the police!" Mr Sikes looked surprised, but stopped
hitting Oliver. "Take his clothes and lock him in a room;" he said angrily. Oliver was kept in
the room until the middle of the next day, when Fagin let him out. He told Oliver how kind
he had been to him when he arrived in London. He also told Oliver that, if he said anything
to the police, things would not be so good for him. A few days after Oliver had been taken
back to Fagin's, Mr Bumble was in London on the day that an advertisement came out in a
newspaper. It asked for any information people had about a lost boy called Oliver Twist.
Mr Bumble read this with interest, then asked people how to find Mr Brownlow's house.
When he got there, he told him all he knew about the bad and difficult boy that he knew
so well. "I told you he was a bad one," said Mr Grimwig. "Sadly, you were right," said Mr
Brownlow. "I do not want to hear his name ever again."
One day at Fagin's, the Artful Dodger asked Oliver to clean his boots. Oliver did not
like doing these things, but at least he had people to talk to. "Why don't you join our
115
gang? " the Artful Dodger asked Oliver. "Take things and you'll be rich. If you don't take
people's watches, someone else will." "I would prefer to go back to Mr Brownlow's," said
Oliver. "Fagin won't like that," said Charley. "He has plans for you." Indeed, at the same
time in another house in London, Fagin was planning something for Oliver with Mr Sikes.
And he was going to do more than take people's watches. "We need a boy to help us to
get inside a large house in the countryside," said Mr Sikes. "Then use Oliver," said Fagin.
"He'll be just right for the job. Nancy can bring him to your house tonight."
Oliver did not expect to see Nancy when she arrived at Fagin's that evening. "You
must come with me to Mr Sikes's house," she said. "What for?'' asked Oliver. "It is better
that you don't ask," said Nancy. She looked at Oliver and could see that he was worried.
"Look," she said, "I'm not happy about this either. I've tried to help you, but it's no good.
I'll try and help you again, but this is not the time. Now, come with me." So, Oliver had
no choice and he followed Nancy to Mr Sikes's house. The next morning, after breakfast,
Mr Sikes took Oliver by the hand and they set off into a cold, cloudy morning. They
travelled all day, sometimes walking and sometimes going by coach. It was dark when they
finally arrived at an old house somewhere in the country. Mr Sikes did not knock, but
opened the door and they went inside. "Mr Sikes!" said a voice. Oliver looked up and saw
a man with long hair, who told him to sit by the fire. "Hello, Toby Crackit," said Mr Sikes.
"This is the boy who can help us tonight." "Good. Now let's rest by the fire," said Toby.
The fire was warm and it had been a long day, so Oliver soon began to fall sleep. At
half past one in the morning, Mr Sikes woke Oliver up 1 from a deep sleep. Oliver watched
as Mr Sikes and Toby each picked up a gun, then they told him to go with them. They left
the warm fireside and went outside into a dark night. They then walked for some time
through the countryside. It was cold and Oliver did not know where they were. Eventually,
they stopped by a high brick wall. "Climb up!" ordered Toby, and Oliver followed him up
onto the wall. From the top of the wall, Oliver could see a large house in front of him and
finally understood what they were going to do. They were going to break into the house.
"Please, no! Don't ask me to do this!" Oliver cried. "Be quiet. Do as I tell you or there'll be
trouble," said Sikes menacingly, and he pointed to his gun to make sure Oliver understood
what the trouble would be.
Oliver followed the two thieves across the gardens to a small window at the bottom of
the house. It was too small for any adult to climb through, but it was not too small for a
child. They easily broke it open and there was now a small space for Oliver to get into the
house. "Take this light and go upstairs, then you can open the front door for us," said Mr
Sikes. They pushed Oliver through the space in the window and Oliver began to walk into
the dark house. Suddenly, Oliver heard someone inside the house shout something. Then
there was a loud bang. "Come back!" cried Mr Sikes, who took Oliver's arm and pulled him
back through the space in the window. "What's happened?" Toby asked. "The boy's been
shot!" said Sikes. "Quick, run!"

Chapter (4)
Toby Crackit and Mr Sikes ran all through the night after the robbery. To make it harder for
anyone who was following them, they decided to run to different places. Mr Sikes stayed
in the country, but Toby Crackit went to London to find Fagin. When Toby told Fagin that
the robbery had not been successful, Fagin was not at all happy. "But where's the boy?"
he asked. "After he was shot, we carried him through some fields," said Toby, "but
people were chasing us. So we left him there, in a field."
Fagin was very worried by this news. He visited Mr Sikes's house, but Nancy had no news
of Mr Sikes or Oliver.
When Fagin returned, a tall man was waiting for him outside his house. He had dark hair
and dark eyes and looked around nervously, as if he thought people were chasing him. He
looked cruel. "Hello, Monks!" said Fagin. "Come inside." Fagin took the man to a quiet
room in his house and told him what had happened. "This was not well planned," cried
Monks. "Why didn't you keep the boy with your gang?"
"Mr Sikes had a job for him," explained Fagin. "And you should be happy I found him!"
120
"What if the boy's dead?" asked Monks. "The police will look for us!"
But Oliver was not dead, he had only been unconscious. He woke up and found himself in
the cold field where Mr Sikes and Toby Crackit had left him. It was morning and it was
raining hard. His arm hurt badly and he was so weak that he found it difficult to stand up.
Slowly he walked towards the house he had visited the night before and after some
minutes, he knocked on the door.
Two servants, Mr Brittles and Mr Giles, were telling the cook about the robbery in the
night and how they had chased the thieves. They were surprised to hear the knock and Mr
Brittles opened the door nervously. When they saw Oliver, Brittles called, "Here's the
thief!" and quickly took hold of Oliver's arm (luckily the arm that was not injured).
Mr Giles went to tell the lady of the house, Mrs Maylie, what had happened. "We've got
the thief that I shot!" Mr Giles said proudly.
"Is he hurt? We must get a doctor at once," said Rose, a pretty girl of seventeen who lived
with Mrs Maylie. "Carry him up to your room, Mr Giles," said Mrs Maylie.
A doctor, Dr Losberne, soon arrived and said how surprised he was to hear about the
robbery before he went to see the patient.
After about an hour, he returned to the two women who were waiting patiently
downstairs. "I think you should come and see the thief," said the doctor. "You do not
need to be afraid."
The women went up to the bedroom nervously. They thought they would see a big, strong
man and were very surprised to see a small sleeping boy with a bandage on his arm.
"How can such a young boy be a criminal?" cried Rose.
"Evil can live in anybody," said the doctor sadly.
"Be kind to him, aunt," said Rose. "He looks so helpless and small. If it hadn't been for
your generosity, I might be helpless like this small child!" "Let's wait until the boy can
talk to us," said the doctor. "Then we can decide what to do with him."
Oliver slept for most of that day, but later, the doctor suggested that the women come up
to his room. The boy was awake and wanted to talk to them. They listened as Oliver told
them all about his life. When Dr Losberne heard Oliver's story, he realised that the poor
boy needed to be helped. But the servants knew the boy was a thief. What could Dr
Losberne say to the servants?
"You shot the boy, didn't you?" he said to Mr Giles when he went downstairs. "Yes,
doctor. He isn't going to die, is he? Will I go to prison?" said the servant, looking worried.
The doctor now had a plan. If Mr Giles was worried that the boy could get him into
trouble, the servant might not want to call the police.
But this first plan did not work because at that moment, Mr Brittles said, "Here they are!
It's the detectives from London. I called them this morning."
Two men with short hair and big boots walked into the room. "My name is Detective
Blathers," said one of them. "Tell me about the robbery. I hear you have a boy here, one
of the thieves."
"No, One of the servants made a mistake," said the doctor.
121
"So where did the boy come from?" asked Detective Duff, the other detective. "Let's talk
about the boy later," said the doctor quickly. "Come and look at the window where the
thieves entered." The detectives went off to examine the house.
"I want to help the boy, but I don't know what to say to the detectives!" the doctor said
to Mrs Maylie. "Tell them the boy's story," said Mrs Maylie. "You believe him, don't you?"
"I believe him," said the doctor, "but it would not stop a magistrate from sending him to
prison. He has run away from the place where he worked, then he joined a gang of
thieves and tried to break into a house!"
"Oh dear! Why did Mr Brittles send for these men?" cried Rose.
"We must not tell them Oliver's story," said the doctor.
The detectives were good at their job. When they returned, Detective Blathers said, "We
think the criminals were from the city. Probably two men and a boy."
"We want to see the boy upstairs," said Detective Duff. The doctor had no choice but to
lead the men to the boy's room. As they walked upstairs, he quickly thought of another
plan.
"This is the boy who hurt his arm yesterday and came here for help this morning," said
Dr Losberne, introducing Oliver. "Mr Giles then took hold of the poor boy. He thought it
was one of the thieves."
"You mean it's not the same boy?" asked Detective Blathers, looking at Mr Giles. "Did you
shoot this boy or not?"
Mr Giles looked at Dr Losberne. He knew the doctor's story was not true. Was the doctor
protecting him from the police because he had shot someone?
"Perhaps I made a mistake," said Mr Giles.
"If it's not the same boy, why are we here?" cried Detective Duff.
The two detectives left that night, angry that they had not caught the thief. They said they
would return if they discovered more information.
Dr Losberne visited the family every day while Oliver was ill. After some time, Oliver's arm
began to get better, and he wanted to show how thankful he was to these kind people
who had helped him.
"Can I work for you?" he asked Rose one day. "Let me water your flowers or do
something to make you happy."
"You don't need to do anything," said Rose, smiling. "I'm lucky because I have an aunt
who has enough money to help people like you."
"I am very happy to be here," said Oliver. "Mr Brownlow and his friends would love to
know that I am safe here."
Dr Losberne got to hear of Oliver's feelings, and when he was completely better, he
offered to take him by coach to Mr Brownlow's house. Oliver was very excited. He was
looking forward to seeing the kind man who had helped him in London. He wanted to
explain what had happened to his books and his money. It was a long journey. When they
finally reached the street where Mr Brownlow lived, Dr Losberne looked at Oliver and
asked, "What's the matter? You look white. Are you feeling ill?"
122
Oliver pointed to a sign on the door of Mr Brownlow's house. It said "Sold." Dr Losberne
got out of the coach and asked a neighbour what had happened.
"Mr Brownlow has moved," said the neighbour. "He went to the West Indies six weeks
ago."
At about the same time as Oliver was on his way back from London, a woman was making
a cup of tea to help keep herself warm. Her name was Mrs Corney and she was in charge
of the workhouse where Oliver was born. There was a knock at the door and a poor
woman came in.
"Excuse me, Miss. Nurse Sally does not have much time."
"What's that to me?" said Mrs Corney, "I can't keep her alive, can I?"
"No, Miss, but she says she wants to tell you something important."
Mrs Corney was not happy to leave her warm room to visit the sick old woman in her cold
room. She saw Nurse Sally lying in bed and she realised she was very ill, so she went up to
her bedside.
"I must tell you something," said Nurse Sally quietly. "When I was younger, I was a nurse
to a woman who died here."
"Yes, you helped many people here," agreed Mrs Corney. "The workhouse was the wrong
place for her," Nurse Sally continued. "She was rich enough for a good hospital. I stole
from her before she died!"
Mrs Corney began to look at the old nurse with interest. "What did you steal?" she asked.
"This woman had a gold locket! She asked me to take the gold for the child, who was
called Oliver. She asked me to ...."
"What did she ask you to do?" said Mrs Corney, moving closer, but it was too late. The old
nurse was dead.
