<P> The orphans at the workhouse are starving because of their cruel treatment . They cast lots to decide who will ask for more gruel for them all , and Oliver is chosen . At evening supper , once the gruel is dished out and eaten , Oliver goes to the master and makes his famous request , `` Please Sir . I want some more '' . He is then branded a troublemaker and offered as an apprentice to anyone willing to take him , and he is eventually apprenticed to Sowerberry , the undertaker . Oliver fights with Noah Claypole , an older boy at the undertakers , because Noah mocked Oliver 's dead mother . Oliver is then beaten for the offence , but he manages to escape and runs away to London . </P>
