Hello, I'm Tim, and today I've got a story about a young orphan.
He has a tough life, but with hope, spirit, and a little bit of luck, all that could change.
This young orphan is called Oliver.
At the age of nine, he ends up in a miserable, grim workhouse.
All the children who work there are always cold and light fires to keep warm.
They are also badly treated and are always so hungry.
One day, Oliver bravely goes up to the manager to ask him for more food,
but he is thrown out because of his insolence, and so begins Oliver's new life.
I'll jump on a bit in the story.
He's in London, and he gets in with the wrong crowd.
A friendly young beggar invites him to shelter in a run-down, damp building with very little light, so it is dark too.
It is run by a scruffy old man called Fagin.
