One fine day, Oliver gathered all his courage and fled to London. Oliver was looking forward to take charge of his life, work hard and earn for his living, he had all his hopes on this city. But the city did not welcome Oliver the way he expected rather he was deluded into a mob of thieves. Even though Oliver was orphan but, this little kid was gold at heart, he didn’t want to steal anything but was forced to.

He failed in his very first pocket picking, and was taken home by Mr. Brownlow. Oliver wanted to serve Mr. Brownlow and wanted to live a life of pride but, was kidnaped again by those thieves. In his second attempt at robbery Oliver was badly injured, pitying the poor child Miss. Rose took care of him, little did Oliver knew Miss. Rose was his very own aunt.

Oliver’s good nature and patience had finally paid him by reuniting him with his aunt and, Oliver was never an orphan again.
