    1 Huck in trouble

    You don't know about me if you haven't read a book called The Adventures ofTom SawyerMr Mark Twain wrote the book and most of it is trueIn thatbook robbers stole some money and hid it in a very secret place in the WoodsBut Tom Sawyer and I found itand after that we were richWe got sixthousand dollars each-all gold

    In those days I never had a home or went to school like Tom and all the otherboys in St PetersburgPop was always drunkand he moved around a lotsohe wasn't a very good fatherBut it didn't matter to meI slept in the streetsor in the woodsand I could do what I wantedwhen I wantedIt was a finelife

    When we got all that moneyTom and I were famous for a whileJudgeThatcherwho was an important man in our townkept my money in the bankfor meAnd the Widow Douglas took me to live in her house and said I could be

    her sonShe was very nice and kindbut it was a hard life because I had towear new clothes and be good all the time

    In the endI put on my old clothes and ran awayBut Tom came after me andsaid that I had to go backbut that I could be in his gang of robbersSoI wentbackand the widow cried and I had to put on those new clothes againI didn'tlike it at allHer sisterMiss Watsonlived there tooShe was al-ways saying'Don't put your feet thereHuckleberry'and 'Don't do thatHuckleberry'It was terrible

    When I went up to bed that nightI sat down in a chair by the windowI satthere a good long timeand I was really unhappyBut just after midnight Iheard 'meeyowmeeyow'ortsideVery softlyI answered'meeyowmeeyor' QuietlyI put out the light and got out through the windowInthe treesTom Sawyer was waiting for me

    We went through the trees to the end of the widow's gardenSoon we wereon top of a hill on the other side of the houseBelow us we could see the riverand the townOne or two lights were still onbut everything was quietWewent down the hill and found Joe HarperBen Rogers and two or three more ofthe boysThen Tom took us down the river by boat to his secret placewhichwas a cave deep in the side of a hillWhen we got thereTom told us all hisplan

    'Nowwe'll have this gang of robbers'he said'and we'll call it TomSawyer's GangIf somebody hurts one of usthe others will kill him and hisfamilyAnd if a boy from the gang tells other people our secretswe'll kill himand his familytoo'

    We all thought this was wonderfuland we wrote our names in blood fromour fingersThen Ben Rogers said'Nowwhat's the gang going to do'

    'Nothing'replied Tom'Just rob and killWe stop people on the roadandwe kill themand take their money and thingsBut we can keep a few of thepeopleand then their friends can pay money to get them backThat's whatthey do in the stories in books'

    But Ben wasn't happy'What about women'he asked' Do we kill them

    too?'

    'Ohno'Tom answered'We're very nice to themand they all love usand they don't want to go home'

    'Then the cave will be full of womenand people waitingand we'll have towatch them all night'

    'We'll all go home now'Tom said'and we'll meet next weekand we'll killsomebody and rob somebody'

    Ben wanted to begin on Sundaybut the others said noIt was bad to kill androb on a Sunday

    My clothes were very dirty and I was very tired when I got backOf coursethe next morning Miss Watson was angry with me because of my dirty clothesbut the widow just looked unhappySoon after that we stopped playing robbersbecause we never robbed people and we never killed them

    * * *

    Time went on and winter cameI went to school most of the time and I waslearning to read and write a littleIt wasn't too badand the widow waspleased with meMiss Watson had a slavean old man called Jimand he and Iwere good friendsI often sat talking to Jimbut I still didn't like living in ahouse and sleeping in a bed

    Thenone morningthere was some new snow on the ground and outsidethe back garden I could see footprints in the snowI went out to look at themmore carefullyThey were Pop's footprints

    A minute laterI was running down the hill to Judge Thatcher's houseWhenhe opened the doorI cried'SirI want you to take all my moneyI want to

    give it to you'He looked surprised'Whywhat's the matter'

    'Pleasesirtake itDon't ask me why'

    In the end he said'Wellyou can sell it to methen'And he gave me adollar and I wrote my name on a piece of paper for him

    That night when I went up to my roomPop was sitting therewaiting for meI saw that the window was openso that was how he got in

    He was almost fifty and he looked oldHis hair was long and dirty and his facewas a terrible white colourHis clothes were old and dirtytooand two of his

    toes were coming through his shoeHe looked at me all over for a long timeand then he said' Welljust look at those Cleantidy clothesAnd they sayyou can read and write nowWho said you could go to school'

    'The widow'I began

    'Ohshe diddid sheWellyou can forget about schoolI can't read andyour mother couldn't readno one in our family could read before they diedsowho do you think you areGo ontake that book and read to me'

    I began to readbut he hit the book and it flew out of my handacross theroomThen he shouted'They say you're richhow's that'

    'It isn't true'

    'You give me that moneyI want itGet it for me tomorrow'

    I haven't got any moneyAsk Judge ThatcherHe'll tell youI haven't gotany money'

    'Wellgive me what you've got in your pocket nowCome ongive it to me'

    'I've only got a dollar

    and I want that to''Give it to medo you hear'

    He took itand then he said he was going out to get a drinkWhen he wasoutside the windowhe put his head back in and shouted'And stop going tothat schoolor you know what you'll get'

    The next day he was drunkand he went to Judge Thatcher to get my moneyThe judge wouldn't give it to himBut Pop didn't stop trying and every few daysI got two or three dollars from the judge to stop Pop from hitting meBut whenPop had moneyhe got drunk again and made trouble in townHe was alwayscoming to the widow's houseand she got angry and told him to stay away

    Then Pop got really angry and one day he caught me and took me a long way upthe river in a boatI had to stay with him in a hut in the woods and I couldn't goout by myselfHe watched me all the timeThe widow sent a man to find meand bring me homebut Pop went after him with a gunand the man ran away

    2 Huck escapes and finds a friend

    Mostly it was a lazycomfortable kind of lifebut after about two months Pop

    began to hit me too much with his stickHe often went away into town tooandthen he always locked me in the hutOnce he was away for three days and Ithought I was never going to get out again

    When he came back that timehe was drunk and angryHe wanted mymoneybut Judge Thatcher wouldn't give it to himThe judge wanted to sendme to live with the widow againPop told meI wasn't very pleased about thatI didn't want to go back there

    So I decided to escape and go down the river and live in the woods somewhereWhen Pop was outI began to cut a hole in the wooden wall of the hutIn afew dayswhen the hole was biggerI could take the wood cutescape

    through the holeand put the wood backOne morning Pop sent me down to the river to catch some fish for breakfast

    To my surprisethere was a canoe in the water and there was no one in itImmediatelyI jumped into the river and brought the canoe to the sideIt waslucky that Pop didn't see meand I decided to hide the canoe under some treesand use it when I escaped

    That afternoonPop locked me in and went off to town'He won't be backtonight'I thoughtso I began to work hard at my holeSoon I could get outthrough itand I carried food and drink and Pop's gun down to the canoeThenI put back the wood to hide the holetook the gun and went into the woodsThere I shot a wild pig and took it back to the hut with meNextI broke downthe door with an axeI carried the pig into the hut and put some of its blood onthe groundThen I put some big stones in a sack and pulled it along behind meto the riverLast of allI put some blood and some of my hair on the axeI leftthe axe in a corner of the hut and I took the pig down to the river

    'They won't know it's only a pig in the river'I said to myself'They'll thinkit's me'

    Then I took the canoe and went down the river to Jackson's IslandBy then itwas nearly darkso I hid the canoe under some trees and went to sleep

    It was after eight o'clock when I woke up the next day and the sun was high inthe skyI was warm and comfortable and I didn't want to get upSuddenlyIheard a noise up the riverCarefullyI looked through the treesand I saw aboat full of peopleThere was PopJudge ThatcherTom Sawyer and his AuntPolly and his brother Sidand lots of othersThey were looking for my body inthe riverI watched thembut they didn't see meand in the end they wentawayI knew that nobody was going to come and look for me againI found agood place under the trees to sleep and to put my thingsThen I caught a fish

    and cooked it over a fireI lived like that for three daysand then I decided to have a look round the

    islandSo I went into the woods'This is my island'I thought'I'm the onlyperson on it'

    Suddenlyjust in front of meI saw a fireand it was still smokingTherewas somebody on my islandI didn't waitI turned and went straight backBut I couldn't sleepAfter a timeI said to myself'I can't live like thisI mustfind out who it is'

    SilentlyI moved along the river in my canoeunder the darkness of thetreesAnd then I stoppedThrough the trees I could see the light of a fireAfraidI left my canoe and went nearerThere was a man lying by the fireSuddenlyhe sat up and I saw that it was JimMiss Watson's slaveI wasreally happy to see him'HelloJim' I criedand I jumped out from behindthe tree

    Jim fell to his knees'Please don't hurt me' he cried'I've always beengood to dead people'

    'It's all rightJimI'm not dead' I said'But why are you here on the island' I asked

    'WellHuck' he began'Old Miss Watson wanted to sell meA man came

    into town and told Miss Watson that he'd buy me for eight hundred dollarsShecouldn't say noso I ran awayI ran down to the river to hidebut everybody

    in the town was thereThey said you were deadHuckI had to wait all dayto get awayWhen it was darkI got on to a big boat and hidWhen we camenear this islandI jumped into the water and swam here'

    Jim finished his story and then we both carried all our things into a cave andhid the canoe under some treesWe were just in time because then the rains

    cameIt rained for daysand the river got higher and higherAll kinds ofthings came down the river and one night there was a little wooden houselying half on its sideWe got the canoe out and went to take a lookThroughthe window we could see a bedtwo old chairs and some old clothesTherewas something lying in the corner and we thought it looked like a manJim wentin to seebut he said'He's deadSomeone shot him in the backDon't lookat his faceHuckIt's terrible'

    I didn't want to see the dead man's faceso I didn't lookWe just took the oldclothes and a few other thingsand went back to our cave on the island

    Another nightwhen we were out looking for things on the riverwe found araftIt was made of goodstrong woodand was about four metres by fivemetres'This could be useful'I said to Jimso we pulled it back to the islandbehind the canoeand tied it up under the trees

    .

    3 Huck and Jim travel south

    For some days everything went along quietlybut we were getting boredWe wanted to know what was happening in town and so I decided to go and findoutJim said'Why don't you wear the old dress and the hat that we found inthe housePeople won't know youthenThey'll think you're a girl' Andso I did

    Just after it was darkI got into the canoe and went up the river to the bottomof the townThereI left the canoe and went on footBefore longI came toa little house which was always emptyNow there was a light onand when Ilooked through the windowI saw a woman of about fortyShe was a strangerand that was good because she didn't know meSo I knocked on the door'Imust remember that I'm a girl'I said to myself

    The woman opened the door'Come in' she saidShe looked at me withher little bright eyes'What's your name'she asked

    'Sarah Williams'I replied'I'm going to see my uncleon the other side of

    townMy mother's illyou seeand she needs help''Wellyou can't go there by yourself nowIt's too darkMy husband will be

    And then she began to tell me about all her troublesI was getting bored withall this until she said something about Pop and my murder

    'Who did it'I asked

    'Well'she replied'some people say old Finn did it him-selfother peoplethink it was a slave who ran away that nightHis name was JimThey'll givethree hundred dollars to anybody who finds himand they'll give twohundred dollars for old FinnHe got drunk and left town with two strangersAlot of people think he killed his boy and he's going to come back one dayandget all Huck Finn's money' 'And what about the slave'I asked

    'Ohthey'll soon catch himPeople want the three hundred dollarsI thinkhe's on Jackson's Islandyou knowI've seen smoke thereMy husband'sgone to get two of his friends and they're going over there with a gun latertonight'

    When I heard thismy hands began to shakeThe woman looked at mestrangelybut then she smiled and said kindly'What did you say your namewas'

    'MMary Williams'

    'Oh' she said'I thought it was Sarah'

    'Er wellyesit isSarah Mary WilliamsSome people call me Sarahand some people call me Maryyou see'

    'Ohdo they'She smiled again'Come onnowwhat's your real nameBillBobI know you're not really a girl'

    So then I had to tell her another storywith a different nameand I said I

    was running awayShe said she wouldn't tell anybodyand gave me somefood before I leftI hurried back to the island and Jim

    'QuickJim'I criedwaking him up'They're coming to get us'

    We got out the raft as fast as we couldput all our things on ittied the canoeon behindand moved off down the riverWhen it began to get lightwe hidWhen it was dark againwe travelled onOn the fifth night we passed StLouisand we decided to go on down to Cairo in Illinoissell the raft there andget a boat to OhioThere are no slaves in Ohio

    We slept for most of that day and we began our journey again when it was darkAfter some timewe saw lights on the Illinois side of the river and Jim gotvery excitedHe thought it was CairoJim got the canoe ready and I went offin it to take a look at those lightsBut it wasn't Cairo

    After thatwe went on down the riverIt was very dark that night and itwasn't easy to see where we were goingSuddenlya big steamboat came at usvery fastand the next minute it was right over usJim and I jumped off theraft into the waterThe boat hit the raft and went on up the river

    When I came up out of the waterI couldn't see Jim any-whereI called outhis name again and againbut there was no answer'He's dead' I thoughtSlowlyI swam to the side of the river and got outI saw that I was near a bigold wood-en houseSuddenly a lot of very angry dogs jumped out at meTheymade a terrible noise and someone called from the house'Who's there'

    'George Jackson'I answered quickly'I've fallen off a river boat'

    Wellthe people who lived in that house were very kindand they took mein and gave me some new clothes and a good mealI told them that my familywere all deadso they said I could stay with them as long as I wantedIt was abeautiful house and the food was good thereso I stayed

    A few days later one of the slaves in the house came to me and said'Comewith me'Togetherwe went down to some trees by the river'In there'hesaid and went away

    On the groundI found a manasleepIt was JimI was really pleased tosee himWhen the steamboat hit the raftJim told methe raft didn't breakupJim swam after it and caught itThen he began to look for me

    We decided to leave at onceIt's all right living in a house for a little whilebut you feel more free and easy and comfort-able on a raft

    4 The Duke and the King

    Two or three days and nights went by and nothing much happenedWetravelled at night when it was dark and everybody was asleepWe didn't wantanyone to see Jim and ask questions about him

    Thenone morningjust after it was lightI found a little canoeso I gotinto it and went over to the side of the riverI was looking roundwhensuddenlytwo men ran through the trees

    'Help' they cried'There are men and dogs trying to catch usBut we'vedone nothing wrong'

    One of the men was about seventy years oldthe other was about thirtyandthey both had very olddirty clothesI said they could come with meandwe ran quickly back to the canoe

    Back on the raft we talked for a time and then the young man said'My friendsI think I can tell you my secret nowI'm really a dukeMy grandfather wasthe son of the Duke of Bridgewaterbut he left England and came to AmericaWhen the old Duke diedmy grandfather's younger brother stole everything

    and made himself the Duke of Bridgewater'Wellof coursewe were all very unhappy for our friend the Dukebut he

    said'I'll be happier if you do things for meBring me my dinner'

    So we did things for himand he liked itBut the old man spoke very littleand he looked unhappytooAfter a time he said'You knowBridgewaterItoohave a secret'And he began to cry

    'What do you mean'the Duke asked'What's your secret'

    And then the old man told us that he was really the first son of the King ofFranceHe asked us all to go down on one knee when we spoke to himwecould call him'Your Majesty'tooSo that was what we didand they were

    both happyOf courseI knew that they weren't really a duke and a kingbutI didn't tell JimIt's best if everybody is happy when you're living together on a

    raft

    The King and the Duke were very interested in Jim'Is he a slave'theywanted to know'Is he running away'

    I had to tell them somethingso I said that Jim belonged to my uncle and was

    taking me to my family in New Orleans

    'Wellwe'll travel down river with youthen'said the King'We'll have a

    fine time together'

    So the four of us went on down the riverbut Jim and I didn't like those twomenThey were always getting drunk and making plans to get money out ofpeople in every townIt's all right to take a chicken or something if you'rehungrybut these men were really badJim and I decided to get away fromthem as soon as we couldIt wasn't easy because they wanted to be with us allthe time

    Then one morning the King went off into a town and told us to wait for him

    We waited all morning and he didn't come backso the Duke and I went intotown to look for himWe looked all afternoon and in the end we found him in abardrunkand then he and the Duke began to fight about some money

    Now we can get away from themI thoughtI turned and ran back to theriver'QuickJim' I shouted'It's time to go'But there was no answerJim wasn't there

    I ran into the woodscrying and shouting Jim's nameBut there was still noanswer

    Just then a boy came along'Have you seen a slave'I asked himand Idescribed Jim

    'Whyyes'the boy replied'He's a runaway slaveI heard all about it intownA family called the Phelpses have got him nowAn old man in a bar toldMr Phelps that there was a runaway slave on a raft down by the riverHe saidhe hadn't got time to take the slave back himselfSo Mr Phelps gave him fortydollars and they went down and caught the slave this afternoonThe Phelpsesare going to take him back to his ownerand they'll get three hundred dollarsfor him'

    I knew those two men were badI asked the boy where the Phelpses livedand he said it was a big white house a little way down the river

    I began to make plans to get Jim backFirstI took the raft and went down toa little islandI hid the raft under the treesand lay down to sleepBefore it waslightI went off down the river in the canoeWhen I thought I was near thePhelpses placeI stoppedgot out of the canoe and went up to the houseSuddenlya lot of dogs ran outThey came from everywhere and they made aterrible noise

    A woman about fifty years old ran out of the housewith some little childrenbehind herShe was smiling all over her face and she took me by the hands andcried'It's youat lastisn't it'

    I didn't stop to think'Yesma'am'I said

    be back soon'She didn't stop talking and I couldn't tell her that she was makinga mistake' Tell us all about them'she cried'Tell me everything'

    I knew then that I had to tell her but just then she cried'Here he isQuickhide'and she pushed me inside the house and behind the front doorThenher husband came in and she asked him'Has he come'

    'No'her husband replied

    'Look'she shoutedand then she pulled me out from be-hind the door

    'Whywho's that'Mr Phelps criedsurprised

    'It's Tom Sawyer'she laughed

    5 The plan to free Jim

    When I heard thatI nearly fell through the floorbut it was a big piece ofluckIt was easy for me to be Tom Sawyer because Tom was my best friendHeand his brother Sid lived with their Aunt Polly up in St Petersburgand I knewall about themNow I learnt that Aunt Polly had a sisterwho was Mrs PhelpsShe and her husband were Tom's Aunt Sally and Uncle SilasAnd Tom wascoming down south by boat to stay with them for a bit

    We all sat there talking and I could answer all their questions about the SawyerfamilyI was feeling really happy about this when suddenly I heard a boat onthe river'Tom could be on that boat'I thought'and he's going to walk inhere and call out my name before I can stop himI've got to go and meet him'

    So I told the Phelpses that I would go into town to get my bagswhich were atthe boat stationI hurried up the road and before I was halfway to towntherewas Tom Sawyer coming along

    When he saw mehis mouth fell open and he looked a bit white in the lace'Aren't you dead'he said'Everybody said that you were murdered'

    'I'm not dead yet'I said'but listen'I told him about my adventuresandTom loved all thatThen I told him about the Phelpses and that they thought Iwas Tom Sawyer'What shall we do'I asked him

    Tom thought for a bitand then he said'I knowYou take my bags and saythey're yoursI'll come to the house in about half an hour'

    'All right'I said'but there's another thingYou know old Miss Watson'sslave Jimwho ran awayWellhe's a prisoner hereand I'm going to helphim escape'

    'Jim'Tom said'But he's'Then he stopped and thought'RightI'll helptooI'll make a really good plan'He looked very excited

    So I went back to the house with the bagsand Tom came along half an hourlaterHe knocked on the door and when his Aunt Sally opened ithe said hewas SidTom's brotherHe wanted his visit to be a surprise for his dear oldAunt Sallyhe said

    WellAunt Sally was very pleased to see Tom and SidShe thought it waswonderfulShe and Uncle Silas were really nice people

    When we were alone laterTom and I talked about Jim's escapeI said I had aplanand Tom listened to it

    'It's a good plan'he said when I finished'But it's too easyIt's got to be areal escapelike a real adventure in a sto-ry-bookSo we want somethingdifficult and dangerousNowlisten to this'

    So he told me his planI knew it would be a good one be-cause Tom's plansare always crazy and exciting

    And we sure had a lot of fun with that planWe knew that Jim was locked upin a hut outside the houseEvery night we got out through our bedroomwindow and dug a hole right under the wall of the hutIt took us a weekand itwas hard workWe talked to Jim secretly and told him about the planand hewas really pleased

    We also wrote secret letters to everybodyTom said that people always dothis in booksWe wrote that there was a gang of slave-thieves coming up from

    the southThey wanted to steal Jim and get the three hundred dollars from hisownerWellthe Phelpses and their friends got very excitedand on the nightof the escape I went into the sitting-roomand there was a crowd of men inthereall with guns

    I ran and told Tomand he said that this was really good'It's a realadventure nowall right'he saidvery excited'Perhaps they'll come afterusand shootand we'll all get killed'

    Wellthere wasn't time to think about it because it all happened so quicklyWe got Jim out through the hole under the walland began to run down to theriverBut the men heard us and came after usThey began to shootand so

    we ran as fast as we could to the canoeWe got in it and went over to SpanishIslandMy raft was thereand our plan was to escape on that and go on downriver

    'NowJim'I cried'you're a free man'We were all very happybut Tomwas the happiest of allbecause he had a bullet in his leg

    When Jim and I heard thatwe weren't so happyTom wanted the adventureto go onbut Jim and I said that a doctor must look at Tom's legTom wasgetting angry about thisbut Jim said

    'You listen to meTom SawyerYou say I'm a free man nowand perhaps IamBut old Jim is not going to run away and leave one of his friends with a

    bullet in his legSo I'm staying right here until a doctor comes'I knew Jim would say thatHe was a goodtrue friendand you can't say

    that about many people

    Wellthat was the end of the adventurereallyI went and found a doctor inthe townHe was a kind old manand he said he would go over to the islandBut Tom's leg got very badand the next day the doctor and some other mencarried Tom home to the Phelpses' houseThey brought Jim tooand theylocked him up in the hut againBut the doctor said'Be kind to himbecausehe didn't run away and he stayed to help me with the boy'

    They took Tom up to bed because his leg was really badand Aunt Sally sat

    with him while he sleptI didn't want to answer any questions so I kept out ofeverybody's way

    When Tom woke up the next dayhe felt betterI was in the room and hesaid to me'Jim's all rightisn't he'

    I didn't know what to say because Aunt Sally was listeningand before I couldstop himTom went on

    'We did it

    Aunt Sally

    Me and Tom here

    We helped Jim escape

    'He toldher all about the digging and everythingand Aunt Sally's mouth was openingand closing like a fishThen she got really angry with Tom

    'That slave is locked up again and he's going to stay thereAnd if I catch youagain'

    Tom suddenly sat up in bed'You can't do that'he cried'Jim was old MissWatson's slavebut she died two months agoBefore she diedshe wrote thatshe wanted Jim to be freeand not a slave any moreJim's a free mannot aslave

    Wellthat was a surprise to me and Aunt SallyShe thought Tom was crazy

    'But Sidwhy did you help him to escapeif he was free already'she said'I wanted the adventureof course'said Tom'We made a really exciting

    plan and Oh myAUNT POLLY'

    We turned roundand there was Tom's Aunt Polly in the doorwayThat wasthe second big surpriseAunt Sally was really pleased to see her sisterandjumped up to put her arms round herI got under the bed as fast as I couldThere was trouble coming for me and Tomthat was for sure

    Then Aunt Polly said to Tom'You always were a terrible boyTom Sawyerand I want to know'

    'But Polly dear'said Aunt Sally'this isn't TomIt's SidTom was here a

    minute agoWhere is he''Where's Huck Finnyou mean' replied Aunt Polly'Come out from under

    that bedHuck Finn'

    So Tom and I had to explain everythingAunt Polly said that Aunt Sally wroteand told her that Tom and Sid were thereShe knew that it wasn't trueso shedecided to come and find out what was happeningBut she said that it was trueabout Miss Watson and that Jim was a free man now

    We got Jim out of the hut and Aunt Sally and Uncle Silas were really nice to himLaterTomJim and I had a long talk by ourselvesTom talked and talkedand then he said'Let's all three of us run away one nightand go and have

    ad-ventures in the wild country down south'

    It sounded like a good plan to me'The only thing is'I said'I haven't gotany money to buy the right clothes and thingsAll my money back in StPetersburg will be in Pop's pockets by now'

    'No'said Tom'Your money's all thereYour Pop never came back'

    1 Huck en problemas

    Usted no sabe acerca de m si usted no ha ledo un libro llamado Las aventuras de TomSawyer. Sr. Mark Twain escribi el libro y la mayor parte es cierto. En ese libro ladronesrobaron algo de dinero y lo escondieron en un lugar muy secreto en el bosque . Pero Tom

    Sawyer y me pareci , y despus de que eran ricos . tenemos seis mil dlares cada uno ,todo de oro.

    En aquellos das, nunca he tenido una casa o ir a la escuela como Tom y todos los demschicos en San Petersburgo. Pop siempre estaba borracho , y se mova mucho , as que noera un buen padre . Pero no fue as importa a m. yo dorma en las calles o en los bosques ,y que poda hacer lo que quera, cuando quera . era una buena vida .

    Cuando llegamos todo ese dinero, Tom y yo ramos famosos por una while.JudgeThatcher , quien era un hombre importante en nuestro pueblo , guardado mi dinero en elbanco para m. Y la viuda Douglas me llev a vivir a su casa y me dijo que poda ser su hijo .Ella era muy agradable y amable, pero era una vida muy dura , porque tena que usar ropa

    nueva y ser bueno todo el tiempo.Al final, me puse mi ropa vieja y corr away.But Tom vino a por m y me dijo que tena

    que volver, pero que podra estar en su banda de robbers.So , volv , y la viuda lloraba ytuve que poner en esas ropas nuevas again.I no le gust a la hermana all.Her , la seoritaWatson, viv all too.She era siem-pre que dicen : "No poner los pies all, Huckleberry , ' y'no hagas eso , Huckleberry . "Fue terrible.

    Cuando fui a la cama esa noche , me sent en una silla junto a la ventana . Me sent allun buen rato , y yo estaba muy unhappy.But justo despus de la medianoche escuch ' mee- yow ! Mee - yow ! Ortside.Very suavemente, le contest , ' mee - yow ! Mee - yor ! ' Ensilencio, Apagu la luz y sal por la window.In los rboles, Tom Sawyer me estaba

    esperando .Fuimos a travs de los rboles hasta el final de garden.Soon de la viuda que estbamos

    en la cima de una colina en el otro lado de la house.Below nos podamos ver el ro y eltown.One o dos luces seguan encendidas , pero todo estaba tranquilo . Bajamos la colina yencontramos Joe Harper, Ben Rogers y dos o tres ms de los boys.Then Tom nos llev porel ro en barco a su lugar secreto , que era una cueva profunda en el lado de un hill.Whenllegamos all, Tom nos cont todo su plan.

    " Ahora , vamos a tener esta banda de ladrones ", dijo, " y vamos a llamarlo Gang.Ifalguien de Tom Sawyer duele uno de nosotros , los otros l y su familia van a matar . Y siun chico de la pandilla le dice a otras personas nuestros secretos , vamos a l ya su familia

    matamos , tambin. 'A todos nos pareci que era una maravilla, y escribimos nuestros nombres en sangre de

    nuestra fingers.Then Ben Rogers dijo: " Ahora , cul es la banda que va a hacer ? '-Nada- respondi Tom . 'Just robar y matar . Nos detenemos gente en el camino , y

    nosotros los matamos , y tomar su dinero y things.But podemos mantener algunas de laspersonas , y luego sus amigos podemos pagar dinero para conseguir que back.That ' s loque hacen en las historias en los libros . '

    Pero Ben no era feliz. ' Qu pasa con las mujeres? " , Se pregunt. ' Los matamostambin? '

    -Oh , no- respondi Tom . " Estamos muy amable con ellos , y todos nos amamos, y que

    no queremos ir a casa. "-Entonces, la cueva se llena de las mujeres , y la gente esperando , y vamos a tener que

    ver toda la noche ... "' A todos nos vamos a casa ahora ", dijo Tom , " y nos reuniremos la prxima semana, y

    nos va a matar a alguien y robar a alguien. "Ben quera empezar el domingo , pero los otros dijo no.It era malo matar y robar a un

    domingo .

    Mis ropas estaban muy sucias y yo estaba muy cansado cuando llegu back.Of supuesto,a la maana siguiente la seorita Watson se enoj conmigo a causa de mi ropa sucia , perola viuda se limit unhappy.Soon despus de que dejemos de ladrones que juegan porquenunca robado la gente y nunca los matamos .

    ***Pas el tiempo y came.I invierno fue a la escuela la mayor parte del tiempo y yo estaba

    aprendiendo a leer y escribir un little.It no era demasiado malo, y la viuda estabasatisfecho con me.Miss Watson haba un esclavo , un anciano llamado Jim , y l y yo ramosbuenos amigos.yo menudo se sentaba a hablar con Jim , pero todava no le gustaba vivir enuna casa y durmiendo en una cama.

    Entonces , una maana, haba un poco de nieve en el suelo y fuera del jardn de atrspude ver las huellas en la nieve. Fui a verlos ms carefully.They eran las huellas de Pop !

    Un minuto ms tarde , yo estaba corriendo por la colina hasta la casa del juez Thatcher .Cuando abri la puerta , grit : "Seor , quiero que tomes todas mis money.I quieren dar austed. "

    l pareci sorprendido . "Por qu , qu te pasa ? '-Por favor , seor , tmalo! No me pregunten por qu! "Al final , dijo, ' Bueno, se puede vender a m, entonces . " Y me dio un dlar y escrib mi

    nombre en un pedazo de papel para l.Esa noche, cuando me fui a mi habitacin , Pop estaba sentado all, esperando por m! Vi

    que la ventana estaba abierta , as que fue como consigui pulgEra casi el cincuenta y mir old.His el pelo largo y sucio y su cara era una colour.His

    blancas terribles ropa estaba vieja y sucia , tambin, y dos de sus dedos de los pies estabanllegando a travs de su shoe.He me mir por todas partes durante mucho tiempo , yentonces l dijo, 'Bueno , basta con ver esa ropa Limpio, ordenado ! y dicen que ustedpuede leer y escribir ahora . Quin dijo que podas ir a la escuela ? "

    ' La viuda ... " empec .? ' Oh , ella , verdad Bueno, usted puede olvidarse de school.I no saben leer y su madre

    Comenc a leer , pero l golpe el libro y sali volando de mi mano , a travs de lasroom.Then grit, ' Dicen que eres rica - cmo es eso? '

    ' No es cierto ! "' T me das ese dinero! Quiero it.Get por m maana! 'No tengo ningn Juez money.Ask Thatcher.He dir you.I no tengo dinero . "" Bueno, dame lo que tienes en tu bolsillo now.Come , dale a m! '" Slo tengo un dlar, y yo quiero que eso ... '" Dmelo , me oyes ?l lo tom, y luego dijo que iba a conseguir una drink.When estaba fuera de la ventana ,

    puso su cabeza hacia atrs y grit: " Y deja de ir a la escuela, o si conoce lo que usted

    money.The no se lo dara a l.Pero Pop no dej de intentarlo y cada pocos das me dierondos o tres dlares al juez para detener Pop de golpear me.But cuando Pop tena dinero, seemborrach de nuevo e hizo problemas en town.He siempre vena a la casa de la viuda, yella se enoj y le dijo que se quedara away.Then Pop puso muy enojado y un da me cogi yme llev un largo camino hasta el ro en un boat.I tuvo que quedarse con l en una cabaa

    en el bosque y no poda salir por myself.He me visto todo el tiempo. La viuda envi a unhombre a buscarme y llevarme a casa , pero Pop fue tras l con un arma de fuego , y elhombre sali corriendo.

    2 Huck se escapa y encuentra un amigo

    Sobre todo se trataba de un tipo perezoso , cmodo de la vida, pero despus de unos dosmeses Pop comenz a pegarme demasiado con su stick.He menudo se fue a la ciudadtambin, y entonces siempre me encerr en el hut.Once l estaba lejos de tres das, y pensque nunca iba a salir de nuevo.

    Cuando regres ese momento, l estaba borracho y angry.He quera mi dinero, pero eljuez Thatcher no se lo dara a juez him.The quera enviarme a vivir con la viuda de nuevo,Pop dijo me.I no era muy satisfecho that.I no quera volver all.

    As que decid escapar y bajar por el ro y vivir en el bosque en algn lugar . Cuando Popestaba fuera , me puse a cortar un agujero en la pared de madera de la choza. Dentro deunos das , cuando el agujero era ms grande , que podra tomar el corte de madera,escapar a travs del agujero , y luego la lea de nuevo .

    Uno Pop maana me mand bajar al ro a pescar para breakfast.To mi sorpresa, habauna canoa en el agua y no haba nadie en it.Immediately , salt en el ro y trajo la canoa aun lado. Fue una suerte que Pop no me vio , y me decid a ocultar la canoa debajo de unosrboles y utilizarlo cuando escap .

    Esa tarde , Pop me encerr y se fue a la ciudad. " l no regresar esta noche ', pens , asque empec a trabajar duro en mi hole.Soon que pudiera salir a travs de l , y me llev a

    comer y beber y la pistola de pap hasta el canoe.Then puse de nuevo la madera paraocultar el agujero, tom el arma y entr en la woods.There me tiro un cerdo salvaje y se lollev de regreso a la choza con me.Next , me quebr la puerta con un axe.I llev el cerdo enla cabaa y puso un poco de sangre en el suelo. A continuacin os pongo unas grandespiedras en un saco y se la puso junto a mi espalda a la river.Last lugar, me puse un poco desangre y algo de mi pelo en la axe.I dej el hacha en un rincn de la choza y me tom lacerdo hacia el ro .

    ' Ellos no sabrn que es slo un cerdo en el ro, le dije a mi mismo. " Van a pensar quesoy yo. "

    Entonces tom la canoa y se fue por el ro hasta la isla de Jackson . Para entonces ya era

    casi de noche , as que me escond la canoa debajo de unos rboles y me fui a dormir.Eran ms de las ocho , cuando me despert al da siguiente, y el sol estaba alto en el sky.I

    era clido y cmodo y no quera llegar up.Suddenly , o un ruido hasta la river.Carefully ,mir a travs de los rboles, y vi un barco lleno de people.There era Pop, Juez Thatcher,Tom Sawyer y su ta Polly y su hermano Sid, y un montn de otros. Estaban buscando a micuerpo en el ro. Los mir , pero no me vio , y al final fui away.I saba que nadie iba a venira buscarme again.I encontrado un buen lugar bajo los rboles para dormir y para poner

    mis cosas . Entonces cog un pescado y cocinado sobre el fuego .Viv as durante tres das, y luego me decid a echar un vistazo alrededor de la isla . As

    que me fui a los bosques. " Esta es mi isla ", pens . "Yo soy la nica persona en l. 'De pronto , justo en frente de m, vi un fuego, y todava estaba smoking.There haba

    alguien en mi isla ! Yo no esper . Me volv y me fui back.But recta no pude sleep.After unmomento , me dije a m mismo: ' Yo no puedo vivir as this.I que averiguar quin es. "

    En silencio , me mud a lo largo del ro en canoa , bajo la oscuridad de la trees.Andentonces stopped.Through los rboles pude ver la luz de un fuego. Asustado , sal de micanoa y me fui nearer.There era un hombre tumbado en la fire.Suddenly , se sent y vi queera Jim , ! Esclavo de la Srta. Watson yo estaba muy feliz de verlo ! ' Hola, Jim , ' -grit, y me

    lanc de detrs del rbol.Jim se puso de rodillas . " Por favor, no me hagas dao ! -Exclam- . ' Siempre he sido

    buena con los muertos ! "' Est bien , Jim.I no estoy muerto ", le dije. " Pero por qu ests aqu en la isla ? " , Le

    pregunt.' Bueno, Huck -comenz . ' Old seorita Watson quera venderme . Un hombre se acerc

    a la ciudad y dijo a la seorita Watson que l me comprara para ochocientos dollars.Sheno poda decir que no, as que corr away.I corri hacia el ro que ocultar, pero todo elmundo en el pueblo estaba all. Dijeron que estaban muertos , Huck.I tuvo que esperartodo el da para llegar away.When estaba oscuro, me sub a un barco grande y me escond .

    Cuando llegamos cerca de esta isla , salt al agua y nad aqu.Jim termin su historia y luego los dos nos llev a todas nuestras cosas en una cueva y

    escondi la canoa bajo alguna trees.We estaban justo a tiempo , porque entonces llegaronlas lluvias. Llovi por da , y el ro tiene ms y ms alto . Todo tipo de cosas llegaron por elro y una noche hubo una pequea casa de madera , tumbado medio de lado. Tenemos lacanoa y fuimos a tomar un look.Through la ventana podamos ver una cama, dos sillasviejas y alguna vieja clothes.There fue algo mintiendo en la esquina y nos pareci quepareca un man.Jim fuimos a ver , pero l dijo: ' l es dead.Someone le dispar en laback.Don mires a la cara, Huck.It ' terribles s ! '

    No quera ver la cara del muerto , as que no look.We acaba de tomar la ropa vieja y

    algunas otras cosas , y me volv a nuestra cueva en la isla.Otra noche, cuando estbamos en busca de las cosas en el ro, nos encontramos con una

    raft.It estaba hecho de bueno, fuerte madera, y estaba a unos cuatro metros por cincometros. ' Esto podra ser til , le dije a Jim , por lo llegamos de nuevo a la isla detrs de lacanoa, y empatar el partido luego bajo los rboles.

    17/22

    Durante algunos das todo ha ido a lo largo de silencio , pero estbamos aburriendo .

    Queramos saber lo que estaba sucediendo en la ciudad y as que decidimos ir yaveriguarlo. Jim dijo: ' Por qu no te pones el vestido viejo y el sombrero queencontramos en la casa? Las personas no saben , entonces. Van a pensar que eres una

    chica . " Y as lo hice .Justo despus de que estaba oscuro , me met en la canoa y se fue por el ro hasta el

    fondo de la town.There , sal de la canoa y se fue a pie. En poco tiempo, llegu a unapequea casa que fue siempre empty.Now haba una luz encendida, y cuando mir por laventana , vi a una mujer de unos forty.She era un desconocido y que fue bueno, porque nolo hizo saber me.So llam a la puerta. " debo recordar que soy un girl'I dije a m mismo .

    La mujer abri la puerta. " Entra, " ella said.She me mir con sus ojitos brillantes. 'Cmo te llamas ? -Le pregunt .

    ' Sarah Williams ', le respond . " Voy a ver a mi to, en el otro lado de la madre town.Myenfermo , se ve, y ella necesita ayuda. "

    -Bueno, no se puede ir all por usted now.It "demasiado dark.My marido s ser el hogarde alrededor de una hora . Espere a que l y l caminar contigo.

    Y entonces ella comenz a contarme acerca de todos sus problemas. Me estabaaburriendo con todo esto hasta que ella dijo algo acerca de Pop y mi asesinato.

    "Quin lo hizo? " , Le pregunt.-Bueno- respondi ella, " algunas personas dicen viejo Finn lo hizo l mismo , otras

    personas piensan que fue un esclavo que se escap ese nombre night.His era Jim. Ellos tedan trescientos dlares a cualquier persona que lo encuentra - y ellos te dan doscientosdlares por piloto finlands . Se puso borracho del pueblo y el izquierdo con dos muchostrangers.A gente piensa que mat a su hijo y que l va a volver algn da, y conseguir todo

    el dinero de Huck Finn . ' Y el esclavo? " , Le pregunt.' Oh , pronto lo atrapan . La gente quiere los trescientos dlares. Creo que est en la isla

    de Jackson, que know.i he visto el humo del marido there.My ido a buscar a dos de susamigos y se va por ah con un arma ms tarde esta noche . '

    Cuando me enter de esto, mis manos empezaron a temblar. La mujer me mir de formaextraa, pero entonces ella sonri y le dijo amablemente: " Qu has dicho que te llamas? '

    ' M -Mary Williams .-Oh- dijo ella-, pens que era Sarah .-Eh ... bueno, s , lo es. Sarah Mary Williams . Algunas personas me llaman Sarah y

    algunas personas me llaman Mara, que se ve. "

    ' Oh , verdad? ' Ella sonri de nuevo . ' Vamos, ahora , qu es tu verdadero nombre ?Bill? Bob? S que usted no es realmente una chica. "

    As que tuve que decirle otra historia , con un nombre diferente, y le dije que estabahuyendo . Ella dijo que no le dira a nadie, y me dio un poco de comida antes de que yoleft.I apresur a regresar a la isla y Jim.

    Rpido , Jim ! -Exclam , despertarlo . " Vienen a sacarnos !Salimos de la balsa lo ms rpido que pudimos , poner todas nuestras cosas en l,

    empatamos la canoa detrs , y se alej por el river.When comenz a amanecer , nosescondimos . Cuando ya era de noche otra vez, viajamos . En la quinta noche que pasamosSt Louis, y nos decidimos a ir hacia abajo a El Cairo, en Illinois, vender la balsa all y tomar

    un barco a Ohio.There hay esclavos en Ohio.Dormimos durante la mayor parte del da y comenzamos nuestro viaje de nuevo cuando

    era dark.After algn tiempo , vimos luces en el lado del ro Illinois y Jim dieron muyemocionado. l pens que era Cairo. Jim consigui la canoa listo y se fue en ella para echarun vistazo a esas luces . Pero no fue el Cairo.

    Despus de eso, nos fuimos en el ro. Estaba muy oscuro que la noche y no era fcil dever dnde estbamos going.Suddenly , un gran barco de vapor lleg a nosotros muy

    rpido, y al minuto siguiente estaba justo encima de nosotros . Jim y yo saltamos de labalsa en el agua. El barco golpe la balsa y continu hasta el ro.

    Cuando se me ocurri fuera del agua , no pude ver ninguna Jim - where.I grit su nombreuna y otra vez, pero no hubo respuesta . ' Est muerto ! ' I thought.Slowly , nad hacia ellado de el ro y qued out.I vio que yo estaba cerca de un grande y viejo de madera -encasa. De repente, un montn de perros muy enojados salt a me.They haca un ruidoterrible y alguien llam desde la casa: " Quin est ah ?"

    'George Jackson -respond rpidamente. " Me he enamorado de un barco de ro. 'Bueno, la gente que viva en esa casa fueron muy amables y me llevaron y me dieron

    algo de ropa nueva y una buena comida. Les dije que mi familia estaba muerta , por lo que

    dijo que poda quedarse con ellos todo el tiempo que yo quera. Era una casa hermosa y lacomida era buena , as que me qued .

    Pocos das despus, uno de los esclavos de la casa vino a m y dijo: " Ven conmigo ! 'Juntos, fuimos a algunos rboles junto al ro. ' Ah dentro ! -Dijo, y se fue .

    Sobre el terreno, me encontr con un hombre , dormido . Fue Jim ! Yo estaba muycontento de ver him.When el barco de vapor golpe la balsa, Jim me dijo , la balsa no serompi up.Jim nad tras l y lo cogi . Entonces empez a buscarme.

    Decidimos partir inmediatamente . Est bien vivir en una casa por un tiempo , pero sesiente ms libre y fcil y cmodos en una balsa.

    4 El duque y el rey

    Dos o tres das y noches pasaron y nada mucho happened.we viajaron por la nochecuando estaba oscuro y todo el mundo estaba dormido. No queramos que nadie viera Jimy hacer preguntas sobre l.

    Entonces , una maana, justo despus de que fue de da , encontr una pequea canoa ,as que se meti en ella y se acerc a un lado de la river.I estaba mirando a su alrededor ,cuando, de repente , dos hombres corrieron a travs de los rboles.

    ' Help! ' Gritaron . ' Hay hombres y perros tratando de atraparnos . Pero hemos hecho

    nada malo !Uno de los hombres era de unos setenta aos de edad , y el otro era unos treinta aos, y

    los dos tenan muy viejas ropas sucios . Le dije que podra venir conmigo, y corrimosrpidamente de vuelta a la canoa.

    Volver a la balsa que hablamos durante un tiempo y luego el joven dijo: " Amigos mos,creo que te puedo contar mi secreto now.I 'm realmente un abuelo duke.My era el hijo delduque de Bridgewater, pero izquierda Inglaterra y lleg a America.When el viejo duquemuri , el hermano menor de mi abuelo rob todo y se hizo el duque de Bridgewater .

    As que hicimos las cosas para l, y me gust. Pero el anciano hablaba muy poco y se veainfeliz, too.After un momento , dijo, 'Sabes, Bridgewater , yo tambin tengo un secreto. " Y

    se puso a llorar.' Qu quieres decir ? " Pregunt el duque . ' Cul es tu secreto?Y entonces el anciano nos dijo que l era realmente el primer hijo del Rey de France.He

    nos pidi que fuera en una rodilla cuando hablamos con l. que podramos llamarhim'Your Majestad , too.So eso fue lo que hicimos, y ambas eran supuesto happy.Of , yo

    saba que no eran realmente un duque y un rey , pero yo no se lo dije Jim.It ' s mejor sitodo el mundo es feliz cuando ests viviendo juntos en una balsa.

    El rey y el duque se mostraron muy interesados en Jim. " Es un esclavo? " Queran saber. ' Est huyendo ?

    Tuve que decirles algo , as que le dije que Jim era de mi to y me estaba llevando a mifamilia en Nueva Orleans.

    ' Bueno, vamos a viajar por el ro con usted, entonces -dijo el rey . " Vamos a tener unbuen tiempo juntos. '

    As que los cuatro de nosotros fuimos a por el ro, pero Jim y yo no les gustaba a los dosmen.They siempre estaban emborrachndose y haciendo planes para obtener dinero de la

    gente en cada town.It ' s bien para tomar un pollo o algo si tienes hambre, pero estoshombres eran realmente malo Jim y yo decidimos escapar de ellos tan pronto como noscould.It no fue fcil porque queran estar con nosotros todo el tiempo.

    Entonces, una maana el rey se fue a un pueblo y nos dijo que lo esperara . Esperamostoda la maana y no volver , por lo que el duque y yo fuimos a la ciudad en busca de l. Nosmiramos toda la tarde y al final lo encontramos en un bar, borracho, y entonces l y elduque empez a pelear por algo de dinero.

    Ahora podemos escapar de ellos , yo thought.I volvi y corri de nuevo al ro . Rpido ,Jim ! -Grit . " Es hora de ir! " Pero no hubo respuesta . Jim no estaba all !

    Corr hacia el bosque , llorando y gritando el nombre de Jim. Pero segua sin haber

    respuesta.Justo en ese momento lleg un muchacho a lo largo . ' Has visto a un esclavo? " Le

    pregunt , y describ Jim.-Bueno, s- respondi el muchacho . -Es un fugitivo slave.I odo todo sobre esto en

'

    Yo saba que esos dos hombres eran malos le pregunt al chico donde los Phelpses

    vivan y me dijo que era una gran casa blanca un poco ms abajo en el ro.Empec a hacer planes para conseguir Jim back.First , tom la balsa y me fui a un

    Cuando escuch eso , casi me ca a travs del piso , pero era un gran pedazo de luck.It fue

    fcil para m ser Tom Sawyer porque Tom era mi mejor friend.He y su hermano Sid vivacon su ta Polly en St Petersburgo, y yo lo saba todo sobre them.Now me enter de que lata Polly tena una hermana, que fue la seora Phelps.She y su esposo fueron de Tom taSally y el to Silas.And Tom vena abajo al sur en barco para quedarse con ellos por un poco.

    As que les dije a los Phelpses que yo ira a la ciudad para conseguir mis maletas , que

    estaban en la barca station.I corri por la carretera y antes de que yo estaba a mitad decamino a la ciudad , haba Tom Sawyer llegando a lo largo .

    Cuando me vio , su boca se abri y se vea un poco blanco en el encaje. ' No estsmuerta? " , Dijo. " Todo el mundo dice que fueron asesinados !
