When he asks for more food he is relegated to a workhouse where the conditions are poor.

In the long run, he has a difficult life, but in the end, he emerges with good friends and peace in his life.

"Horrible narration."
My kids and I listen to audiobooks all the time. This was the worst recording of a book we have come across on audible. The female reader had a stilted voice and emphasis on improper words. The chapter ends and beginnings were stated robotically and had obviously been edited in later at a different volume. I would not recommend this book.
