```El huérfano```. ```Cuando Charles tenía 6 años su padre fue condenado a muchos años de cárcel por haber asesinado a un hombre. El niño visitaba cada domingo a su padre, le contaba sus aventuras y escuchaba historias escalofriantes que tenían lugar detrás de los muros.
El pequeño Dickens se vio profundamente marcado por las imágenes que observó en estas visitas; aunque no fue lo vio lo que le conmocionó sino las historias que escuchó. Y entre todas hubo una que lo condicionaría de por vida y que ni siquiera sería capaz de plasmar en un cuento.
Cierto domingo, su padre, con las mejillas empañadas, le contó que unos años atrás mientras trabajaba en la mina se había encontrado una piedrecilla azulada. Al apretarla contra su mano ésta dibujó un haz de luz desde donde él se encontraba hasta el rincón más lejano. Hacia allí se dirigió y al estar a pocos centímetros una criatura pequeña se descubrió ante sus ojos. Era un desagradable hombrecillo que le propuso un trato: le pidió que asesinara a un hombre a cambio de la felicidad para su familia.
Según le contó este misterioso personaje; ese hombre era una criatura horrible que golpeaba a sus hijos y que sólo pensaba en sí mismo: «No merece vivir», le había dicho el hombrecillo. La recompensa que el hombre ganaría sería que su familia saliera de la pobreza gracias a que uno de sus hijos consiguiera el éxito, y le dijo incluso que ese heredero sería recordado durante siglos. Viendo sus posibilidades, el viejo no lo dudó. El resto de la historia ya la conocemos.
Lo cierto es que Charles nunca pudo deshacerse de ese recuerdo. La orfandad es el rasgo más humano del escritor y esta historia, al igual que el pequeño Dickens, se quedó huérfana, condenada a la tristeza de las historias necesarias que no son contadas``` ME LO TRADUSEN EN INGLÉS

Little Dickens was deeply marked by the images he saw on these visits; Although it was not he who saw it that shocked him but the stories he heard. And among all of them there was one that would condition him for life and that he would not even be able to translate into a story.
One Sunday, his father, with misty cheeks, told him that a few years ago while working in the mine he had found a bluish pebble. By pressing it against his hand he drew a beam of light from where he was to the farthest corner. He went there and being a few inches away a small creature was discovered before his eyes. He was a nasty little man who proposed a deal to her: he asked her to murder a man in exchange for happiness for his family.
According to what this mysterious character told him; that man was a horrible creature who beat his children and who only thought of himself: "He does not deserve to live," the little man had told him. The reward that the man would earn would be to lift his family out of poverty thanks to one of his sons succeeding, and he even told her that this heir would be remembered for centuries. Seeing the possibilities of him, the old man did not hesitate. The rest of the story we already know.
The truth is that Charles could never get rid of that memory. Orphanhood is the most human trait of the writer and this story, like little Dickens, was left an orphan, condemned to the sadness of the necessary stories that are not told.

When Charles was 6 years old, his father was sentenced to many years in prison for murdering a man. The boy visited his father every Sunday, recounted his adventures and listened to chilling stories that took place behind the walls.
