8．Oliver Twist
Oliver Twist lived in a home for poor boys．Every day，they were given terrible food to eat and made to work hard．One day，the boys made Oliver ask for more food．
"Please，sir，can we have some more？"Oliver said．
Mr．Bumble，who owned the home，was very angry．
"You，boy，are trouble!"Mr．Bumble said．He did not give Oliver more food．Instead，he hit him with a cane（藤條）．
Oliver couldn't take it any longer，and he ran away．He decided to go to London．He walked for seven days．
When Oliver got to London，he was hungry and tired．He had nowhere to live．Luckily，he met a friendly boy in the street．
The boy took Oliver to a house where an old man called Fagin lived．Lots of boys lived with Fagin．Fagin was pleased with Oliver and allowed Oliver to stay with him．
One day，a cruel-looking man called Bill Sikes and a woman called Nancy came to Fagin's house．They had a white dog with them．Bill was a thief．Oliver was afraid of him．Fagin was also a thief．He taught boys to steal．They stole handkerchiefs，watches，and money，but Oliver did not know they were stealing．
One day，Oliver went out with the boys into the streets．The other boys saw an old man called Mr．Brownlow buying a book．They stole his handkerchief and ran away．Oliver was scared．He ran away，too．
Mr．Brownlow saw Oliver running away．He shouted，"Stop，thief!"
Oliver was caught by a policeman．The policeman wanted to take Oliver to prison．Just then，the bookseller arrived．"Wait!This boy did not steal your handkerchief，"the bookseller said to Mr．Brownlow．"It was another boy．"
Mr．Brownlow felt sorry for Oliver．Oliver looked small and weak，and so Mr．Brownlow took him to his home．
Mr．Brownlow looked after Oliver who soon got stronger．Mr．Brownlow bought him some new clothes and taught him to read．
In Mr．Brownlow's house，there was a picture of a beautiful young woman．
"Who is that？"Oliver asked．
"That is my friend's daughter．She died．Interestingly，you look like her!"Mr．Brownlow commented．
Fagin and Bill were very angry with the boys for letting the policeman catch Oliver．They were worried that he would tell police about them．Bill made Nancy find Oliver and bring him to Fagin's house．Bill beat Oliver，but Nancy tried to stop him．
Bill made Oliver come with him to steal from a house owned by the Maylie family．
Bill and Oliver sneaked in （偷偷溜進(jìn)） while the family was sleeping．However，the Maylies woke up．They had a gun and began to shoot at Bill and Oliver．Bill escaped，but Oliver was hurt．Oliver told the Maylies the story of his life，and they felt sorry for him．
"You can stay with us，"they said．
The Maylies had adopted a young woman called Rose．She had no father and mother．Rose and Oliver became good friends．Oliver loved the Maylie family，but he missed Mr．Brownlow．
One day，Oliver and Rose visited Mr．Brownlow's house．Rose saw the picture on Mr．Brownlow's wall．"That's my sister!"Rose said．
While Oliver was gone，Mr．Brownlow had discovered that Oliver was his friend's grandson．Mr．Brownlow then adopted Oliver and treated him as his own son．Oliver was very happy with his new family，but he was still in danger．
Fagin and Bill discovered where Oliver was living．They wanted to bring him back to Fagin's house．Nancy wanted to stop them．She met Mr．Brownlow in secret on a bridge．
She told Mr．Brownlow about Fagin and Bill，but one of Fagin's boys heard them and told the thieves．Bill was very angry，and he killed Nancy．The police knew Bill was the murderer．They saw Bill's white dog and followed it to find Bill．Bill tried to run away from them，but he fell and died．The police then found Fagin and took him to prison．
Now，Oliver was safe．He lived happily with Mr．Brownlow and saw Rose very often．He had found a loving home．
