This is the story of a boy called Philip Pirrip whose parents were both dead. He was brought up by his sister and her husband, who used to call him Pip instead of Philip. One cold winter afternoon he was at the graveyard, cold and frightened. Suddenly he heard a terrible man’s voice who threatened to cut his throat. The man was wearing torn and muddy clothes, and his shoes were old and broken. Healso had an iron chain on his leg, he was a convict. He asked Pip where he lived, who his parents were ad who he lived with. When he knew Pip lived with a blacksmith, he asked the boy to get him a file and some food for the next day. The man also told him that a young man was with him and he could find him wherever he was.
Then the man went towards the marshes and Pip ran home. The forge wasclosed and Joe, his sister’s husband, was in the kitchen. Pip’s sister had been out looking for him and she was really angry, and when she saw Pip, she beat him. Joe protected him. His sister was twenty years older than him. She was tall and thin, with a hard face and sharp black eyes. Joe was a simple, gentle man who never complained about her bad temper.
It was Christmas Eve and as Mrs Joe wasbusy, she made Pip stir a mixture for a pudding. Suddenly they heard some loud noises. They were giving a warning about two convicts’ escape. The next morning Pip went downstairs, took a meat pie and some brandy for the convict, then he took a file from the forge and left the house. He met the convict, but it was the young one. He continued walking and then he saw the other man who grabbed the foodfrom Pip’s hand. The boy asked him why he didn’t give any to the young man. The convict asked Pip where he had seen him and Pip pointed to where the man was. Then the convict started to file the iron on his leg. Pip left quietly towards his house before Joe and his sister woke up.

By mistake, Pip had filled up the brandy bottle with his sister’s strongest and most unpleasant medicine instead of water. Aftermeal, Mrs Joe went to the pantry to get the meat pie Pip had taken to the convict.

When the work was ready they set off. Joe and Pip accompanied them. When they were on the marshes, suddenly they heard a shout.It was from the convicts. They were splashing in the muddy water of a ditch, cursing each other. The soldiers pulled them from the ditch, both torn and bleeding.

Then the man said he didn’t want to blame anyone for what he had done. He said he hadstolen food from the blacksmith’s house. Then the soldiers took them away.
Two years later Joe and Pip were alone in the house. Mrs Joe had gone to town with her uncle. Pip had learnt to read and write in the evening school he attended, and was trying to teach Joe because he had never gone to school, his father made him work.
