After I asked for more food, the people from the workhouse want to left me so they gave me in adoption. First one person that work in cleaning chimneys, wanted me but I won´t. They carried me to a house with a family that gave me to eat the surplus of the food of the dog and Ihave to sleep in the floor. I hit his son so they expelled me from the house an I had to lived in the street and then go to the city. I continue the way to the city for 7 days until I fall down to the floor and a girl gave me food and water because I was very hungry and I was at the point to die.

After asking for more food, the other boys looked at me in way that it seemed that was my end. I didn’t know why, the only thing I did was to ask fore more food in a polite way. We are hungry and we work a lot, and the only thing we receive in exchange is a little bit of porridge. Sometimes we can’t sleep because of the starvation. I’m thinking on going far away. Otherwise, I will died here. Also, I feel that something is going wrong, I think the board is preparing a punishment for me. I’m afraid, I don’t want to be here.

After been persecuted I was caught and carried to all that fat mans. They all had a surprise appearance and said that i will be hang. I was terrifeid, i don´t knew what was going to happen to me. The next days weren´t better. any of the other boys spoke to me and the starvation is worst than ever and we cannot stop working. If nothing change all we would die here, and I don´t want to die here, it´s the worst place in the world. I know my end is near
and i want to escape but I don´t have the necesarry strenght to do it; I´m really going to
die here and that scare me a lot.

After asking for more food I felt really scared. Everyone was looking at me and shouting. The gentlemen threat me continually and he seems to be sure of himself. I didn´t know what was happening.
During the following days, hunger became my partner. No food was given to me and I start to think in a way to get out of there. If I spend more days here I would die. But I can´t make this alone, I have to look for someone that could help me. But there was a problem, that I was not good at making friends.

It has been a harsh week. After 2 days being punished with extra work and less food, that ensemble of fat, old men took me out of their "house", and left me with a dirty chimney cleaner. I don't even know his name, or why has he adopted me, but at least for now he is treating me better than those stingy men. He looks kind, but there is something on him that makes me feel diffident, and I better find out why, after I start calling this place "home". I keep thinking I shouldn't have done that question...

when I asked for food, I didn't expect nothing of what happens after. I was just in the street, asking for some money or food, but anyone gave me something. I was just so hungry that starvation became my only friend. I was lonely and if I didn't eat something I was going to die soon, and i didn't want to die. Everyone I knew was angry with me, so I decided to move to another place. So, I stole a bicycle that was on the street and I just ride until I was exhausted. The problem now was hunger, and that I didn't know anyone in this new place.

Been in the street, everyone angry with me; I felt so bad that I looked for ten minutes at the floor. At first I didn't know what to do, so I just wandered the streets, thinking about nothing. I cried for some time but I kept walking going nowhere. The worst moment wasn't crying or being in the street, it was when I reached a street full of restaurants. Hunger waked up on me, and there was only one thing that could save me; I had to steal some food. I went to a fruit store and took everything I could in a few second and then I went running for not being caught.

Unknown dijo...

I was asking for food since I hadn´t eaten anything for several hours and i was hungry, everyone who passed didn´t pay any attention to me, they didn´t even give me a second to look at me. I decided to wait a while longer in that place as there were many people. When I saw that nobody was paying attention to me, I decided to move. I kept walking until I saw a train station with a coffee shop where I could stay for a while since that place had heating. At the tables there were remains of cookies, coffees, juices ... and I took them strategically so they wouldn´t tell me anything.

David dijo...

My life after the food incident changed drastically. Everyone glances got stucked in me. I only had two ideas on my mind, the first one was to get food early, if not I knew that I was going to die soon. The second one was even more complicated and resonated in my mind as a shout inside an empty cave. I should escape from the workhouse as soon as I could. But that was a suicide task and I couldn't carry it out alone. The problem was that no ones was willing to help me and now that I was a public enemy of the workhouse big shots, approach to me was the faster way of getting outcast. I needed to found someone who didn't had anything to lose...

When i went to asked for more food,i was frightened and filled with fear. Everywhere was silent at that moment at my request.
Hunger and starvation has really played an important role in my e everyday life, in such a way that after working for a long hour what i get in return is little porridge which could not even sustain or quench my hunger.
Am planning on finding a way to run away whereas i will die of malnutrition and hunger. I will run far away where no one could ever find me. I will ran to the place where i will be well take care of and also were they will bring out the best in me without exploiting or using me for hard labour.

My life was invariable, I worked in the workshop, I ate and slept. But it took a drastic turn when it occurred to me asking for more food ... I had not planned what was going to happen next, because now I am on the street, running away from everything and looking for shelter and food.
The people of the workshop wanted to give me an adoption, when I found out about this, I had to escape from there as soon as possible, without looking back. I've been walking two days since that horrible afternoon and I've only eaten the leftovers that were in the garbage of a restaurant, I 'm approaching a town where I know of a person who can help me ...

We were all very hungry, but it was me who unfortunately took the short rope, then I was the one who had to ask that if they could please put me a little more porridge ... Suddenly I did not understand why they got angry with me, if I asked very politely and it was out of necessity, not because ... Then they wanted to give me up for adoption a man whose job was to clean the chimneys, I did not want to go with him and thank God they did not force me ... But instead they took me to the house of a rich family, who made me sleep on the cold floor and fed me the remains of the dog's food. Thanks to their irritating son, they threw me into the street. From that moment my only friends were loneliness and hunger. I ran from that place. After seven long days of walking aimlessly, I collapsed due to lack of food and water, although I drank from some puddle I found. At least after falling to the ground a kind woman gave me food and water.

After been hours and hours working the time to have dinner arrived. It was gorgeous, finally as a price they give us some food. I was so hungry thet i could have eaten all the pot in one minute. The food as it selve was not very good but in our situation, even if they give you a muck like a delicious disk, you would have eaten. In a way, I started to eat the passable gruel and when I look arround me all the children had finished their plates already. I finished my plate and I was steal hungry, like the rest of the children. I don't think that we should pass hunger having food on the pot. So I stand up and go to the master with my spoon and my plate, and ask for more. He was not on the purpose to give me more, I supossed when he took me to the board. I saw in the faces of the children that place was not very nice. They took me into a room were Mr. Limbkins (the principal) was. They were all atonished with the event I star in the eating place. I was afraid because the were talking about selling me for five poor pounds. I feel like an old object that they don't want any more.
