The little urchin ran through the streets of New York barefoot and looking for trouble.

Trying to be like the street urchin he saw on T.V., the little boy dressed himself in rags and ran through his room as if he were in an alley.

The orphan had turned into a street urchin and made mischief as a pickpocket downtown.

During the mid-1800s, the ragged boy lived as an urchin in the city’s poorest slums.

The day of the poor street urchin consisted of scrounging for food and looking for somewhere to lay his young head.
