18.The room in which the boys were fed was a large stone hall,with a large pot at one end.The master,helped by two women,served the soup from this pot at meal times.Each boy was allowed one bowl of soup and no more.The bowls never needed washing,as the boys cleaned them with their spoons,trying to eat every bit of soup.Boys usually have excellent appetites.Oliver Twist and his companions slowly starved for three months until finally,they became quite wild with hunger.
There was one boy who was tall for his age and had a wild,hungry look in his eye.He told his friends he had to have another bowl of soup each day.If not,he was afraid that one night he might eat the small young boy sleeping next to him.The boys had a meeting and decided that one of them should ask for more food after supper that evening.They wrote their names on pieces of paper and picked one out.It was Oliver Twist who was chosen.
In the evening,the boys sat down at the tables.The master stood by the pot,and the soup was served.It disappeared quickly.The boys whispered and made signs to Oliver.He stood up from the table and went to the master,with his bowl and spoon in his hands."Please,sir,"he said,"I want some more."The master was a fat,healthy man,but he went very pale.
"What?"said the master at last in a quiet voice.
"Please,sir,"repeated Oliver,"I want some more."
The master hit Oliver with his spoon,then seized him and cried for help.Mr Bumble rushed into the room,and the master told him what Oliver had said."He asked for more?"Mr Bumble cried."I cannot believe it.One day they will hang the boy."He took Oliver away and shut him in a dark room.The next morning a notice appeared on the workhouse gate.Five pounds were offered to anybody who would take Oliver Twist.
