Chapter 5

He was looking for his friend to share the pie with him

He was afraid to run on the busy streets, in case he dropped the pie

He was hiding from the boys who tried to chase him and steal the pie

He was looking for a hidden spot to eat the pie

They were moving house

Their house was too small

They didn't have enough money to pay the rent

Their house was burgled and everything was stolen

He had no food and didn't know when he'd next eat

He didn't know if he'd ever see his sisters again

He was worried Rosie's master would send him to the workhouse

He was freezing and had no jacket or shoes to keep himself warm

Jim's piece of bread

Jim's spoon

Jim's glass of water

Jim's bread and spoon

He hadn't slept the night before so was very tired

He was so thirsty that he felt dizzy

He'd just found out his mum had died and been taken away

He found the workhouse very confusing and didn't know his way around

Say morning prayers

Wash under the pump

Make their bed

Have breakfast

In the 'asylum'

Working in a grand house as a cook

In prison

In the female room, across the yard.

They got no food for a week

They were publicly punished before every mealtime

They were sent to the shed across the yard

They weren't allowed to speak for a week

He took their food off them

He sent them to the shed across the yard

He made them sit alone in the corner and stare at the wall

He sent them to eat from the pig's trough, with no fork or spoon
