The story

Jean Valjean is sentenced to ten years in the galleys for stealing bread to feed his sister’s starving family. After his release, he is rejected everywhere because of his yellow passport until a bishop gives him food and shelter. When Valjean steals the bishop’s silver, the bishop saves him from arrest by claiming the silver was a gift and adds two candlesticks, urging him to choose a life of giving rather than taking.
