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.
