Oliver is born at the workhouse but his mother dies. Nobody knows who the woman is or who is the father so Oliver becames and orphan and is sent to life at Mrs. Mann's baby farm.
Mr. Sowerberry is and undertaker and coffin maker and takes Oliver as an apprentice. Life is not much better than in the workhouse and one of the employers, Noah, makes fun of Oliver's mother. Oliver hits him and the Sowerberry's start to treat him even worse.
When Oliver is old enough (8 years old) he gets sent back to the workhouse. Life in the workhouse is hard, a lot of work and almost no food. One day some boys convince Olvier to ask for more food. He does it and is punished by being sent off as an apprentice to Mr. Sowerberry's coffin workshop.
One day, some members of the gang take Oliver on a robbing expedition but it goes wrong and Oliver gets shot in the arm. The thieves leave him in a ditch. Fortunately for him, the family in the house they were going to rob takes him in and looks after him for a while.
