One of evening the boys decide that one of them, Oliver Twist, should ask more food. At his insisting demand for more food, the master, Mr. Bumble, hits Oliver and goes to look for Mr. Limbkins, the man in change of the workhouse. The consequences were that every member of the parish board is astonished and considers Oliver’s request as a sign of his criminal nature. Therefore, the boy is confined to his room and five pounds are offered to anyone who wants to take him away.
