a red nose and dirty yellow trousers．
The boys went down to breakfast， which the girl Charlotte had made for the m. She gave an extra piece of meat to Noah，the n told O liver to hurry up as it was his job to look after the shop．
'Did you hear that，Workhouse？' shouted Noah．
'He heard， Noah，'said Charlotte. 'Leave him alone.'
'Why？'asked Noah. 'All his relations have already left him alone. His mother and father aren't going to interfere with him！'Charlotte and Noah both started laughing loudly．O liver sat alone in the corner，eating old bits of bread.
Noah was a charity－boy， but not a workhouse orphan； he at least knew who his parents were. But for a long time all the local shop－boys had insulted him because he wore the uniform of a charity-boy． Now fortune had brought him a creature in an even lower position in society than himself．Noah intended to repay to O liver every insult he had ever received，and to make the new boy's life a misery.
After a few weeks，Mr Sowerberry decided that he liked O liver's appearance enough to train him in the undertaking business．O liver's permanent expression of sadness was very suitable，the undertaker thought，for collecting dead bodies from houses and accompanying the coffins to funerals.
One day Mr Bumble came to tell the m about a woman who had died in an extremely poor part of the town， and Sowerberry and O liver went to collect the body．They went down dirty narrow streets where the houses on either side were tall and large，but very old．Some of the houses were almost falling down， and had to be supported by huge blocks of wood. The area was so poor that even the dead rats in the street looked as though They had died of hunger．
They found the right house，and climbed the dark stairs to a miserable little room．Some children watched the m from the shadows as They entered．Something lay beneath a blanket on the floor in one corner．A man and an old woman stood near the body．O liver was afraid to look at the m． With their thin faces and sharp teeth， They looked like the rats he had seen outside．
As Sowerberry began to measure the body for a coffin， the man knelt on the floor and cried out， 'She starved to death，I tell you！That's why she died！'He fell to the floor，and all the children behind him started to cry．Sowerberry and O liver，their work done，left as fast as They could．
They returned the next day with the coffin and four men from the workhouse who were to carry it．The man and the old woman followed the coffin to the church，and waited silently by the grave for the priest to arrive．When at last he came， he hurried through the burial prayers， and as quickly as possible（it was only a job，after all） the coffin was put into the ground. At this point the husband， who had not moved once during his wife's burial- not even during the long wait for the priest-suddenly fainted to the ground and had to have cold water thrown over him．
'So how did you like it，O liver？'asked Sowerberry later，as they walked home.
'Not very much， sir，'O liver answered truthfully．
'You'll get used to it，my boy.'
O liver wondered how long that would take，and remained silent all the way back to the shop，thinking about everything that he had seen and heard.
2 奥利弗的第一个工作
奥利弗被单独在小黑屋里关了一星期。他整天都伤心地流泪，每当漫长的黑夜来临，他就用两只小手捂住眼睛，来驱走黑暗，力求入睡。每天他只能用带着冰碴的水洗脸。为了杀一儆百，奥利弗每天要当着其他孩子的面挨班布尔先生一顿毒打。
一天，班布尔先生在济贫院外面遇见了当地的棺材店老板索尔贝里先生。
“索尔贝里先生，您知道谁想要带个学徒吗？”班布尔指着墙上方的一个通告说。上面写着，愿意领走奥利弗·特威斯特去干活的人可以
