Oliver Twist: Chapter 2

Oliver at Mr Sowerberry’s

SUMMARY

Oliver is sent to work in a shop. He works for Mr Sowerberry. The first night Oliver slept in a room full of coffins. He was afraid and all alone in a strange place. He had no friends.

The next day he met a boy called Noah, who became his enemy. Mr Sowerberry gave Oliver a special black hat and dark jacket. Oliver became a mourner at many funerals.

One day he hit Noah and Noah told everyone that he tried to kill him. Mr Sowerberry was very angry and put Oliver in a dark room. Oliver wasn’t afraid when Mr Bumble came. Mr Bumble told them to stop giving him meat. That night Oliver fell to the floor and cried all night.

Early the next morning he put a few clothes in a handkerchief and he quietly left Mr Sowerberry’s shop.

    Hola gemma!
    no sé molt bé on s’han de deixar els comentaris.
    et parlare del meu grup preferit. (que tampoc sé si s’ha de fer en anglès o català)
    non servium és un grup de musica oi! d’extrema esquerra.
    tenen tendències punks i skins.

    no crec que et pugui traduir una cançó seva.

    m’agraden també altres grups com Gatillazo, Ska-p, Bad religion, Nirvana, i d’altres.
    de nirvana si que puc deixarte una cançó:

    Smells like teen spirit (teen spirit és un desodorant, no significa esperit jove)

    Load up on guns and
    Bring your friends
    It’s fun to lose
    And to pretend
    She’s over bored
    And self assured
    Oh no, I know
    A dirty word

    Hello, hello, hello, how low?
    hello, hello, hello

    With the lights out it’s less dangerous
    Here we are now
    Entertain us
    I feel stupid and contagious
    Here we are now
    Entertain us
    A mulatto
    An albino
    A mosquito
    My Libido
    Yeah!

    I’m worse at what I do best
    And for this gift I feel blessed
    Our little group has always been
    And always will until the end

    Hello, hello, hello, how low?
    hello, hello, hello

    With the lights out it’s less dangerous
    Here we are now
    Entertain us
    I feel stupid and contagious
    Here we are now
    Entertain us
    A mulatto
    An albino
    A mosquito
    My Libido
    Yeah!

    And I forget
    Just why I taste
    Oh yeah, I guess it makes me smile
    I found it hard
    It was hard to find
    Oh well, whatever, nevermind

    Hello, hello, hello, how low?
    hello, hello, hello

    With the lights out it’s less dangerous
    Here we are now
    Entertain us
    I feel stupid and contagious
    Here we are now
    Entertain us
    A mulatto
    An albino
    A mosquito
    My Libido
