Among other buildings in a certain town, there is a house for poor people. They go there when they have no money and no where to live. It’s called a workhouse.

Oliver twist was born there. His mother, a young woman, lay ill in bed. A doctor and an old woman stood by her side.

“Let me see the child, and die,” she said.

“Oh, you must not talk about dying yet,” said the doctor.

“No, dear,” said the old woman. “You are too young to die.”

The young woman shook her head and held out her hand towards the child.

The doctor put the child in her arms. She pressed her cold white lips (嘴唇)to its face, and then fell back --- and died.

“She’s dead,” said the doctor. “Where did she come from?”

“She was brought here last night,” said the old woman. “She was lying in the street. She had walked a long way and her shoes were worn out. Nobody knows where she came from, or where was she going to.”

The doctor said “Goodbye” to the old woman and left. He went home to his dinner.

The old woman sat down on a chair in front of the fire and began to dress the baby. She dressed him in the very old clothes used for a baby born in the workhouse --- a poor child without father or mother, born into a world which had no love or pity for him.
