A Note on Mark Twain
Mark Twain’s real nam e was Samuel Langhorne Clemens. He was
born in Florida, Missouri, USA in 1835. In 1839 he and his family
went to live in Hannibal, Missouri, a town on the Mississippi River.
Young Samuel grew up there, and as a boy he had many adventures
on the river.
He began working as a steamboat 1 pilot on the Mississippi in 1857,
but in 1861 he went to the West. He traveled to Nevada and then to
California.

In San Francisco, California, he began working as a journalist for
the Morning Call. H ere he changed his nam e to M ark Twain. In
1865 he wrote the short story, “The C elebrated Jum ping Frog of
Calaveras C ounty”. It was a great success and Mark Twain became a
famous writer. He traveled to many places in the world.
He married Olivia “Livy” Langdon and had three daughters, and the
family lived in Hartford, Connecticut. Here he wrote his three great
novels, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876), Life on the Mississippi
(1883) and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1884).
People everywhere liked his hum orous style and satire.
H is other novels are The Innocents Abroad (1869), Roughing It (1872),
The Prince and the Pauper (1880), A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's
Court (1889) and many short stories.

CHAPTER
ONE
Tow and the Fence
om! Tom!”
T here was no answer.
“W here is that boy? Tom!” A unt Polly looked
u nder the bed but she only found the cat.
T hen she heard a noise behind her. A small boy ran past and
she stopped him with her hand.
“W h at are you doing, Tom?” she asked.
“N othin g.”
“N othing. Look at your hand and your m outh. I told you not to
eat the ja m .” 1
"Oh, A unt Polly, look behind you!"

Tom and th e Fence
T h e old la d y lo o k e d a n d T om r a n aw ay. A u n t P o lly w as
surprised and then she laughed.
"I never learn. Tom always plays tricks 1 on me and I never
learn. I love Tom. H e ’s my sister’s child — sh e ’s dead. B ut it’s not
easy to look a fte r him . T o m o rro w is S a tu rd a y a n d th e r e ’s no
school. But Tom m ust work tomorrow. He hates work but he m ust
do it.”
Tom lived in the small village of St P etersburg w ith his A unt
Polly, his b rother Sid and his sister Mary. The sum m er evenings
were long, and in the evenings Tom liked w alking a ro u n d the
village. O ne evening he saw a big boy in front of him. The boy
was a stranger. 2 Tom was surprised because he did not see new
people often. This boy had very nice, expensive clothes. “H e’s got
shoes, a new shirt and a tie. 3 And it’s not Sunday,’’ Tom thought.
“My clothes are old and ugly.”
Tom looked at him and the big boy looked at Tom. Tom did not
like him. Finally he said, “I can beat you!” 4
“Why d on ’t you try?” said the boy.
“Well, I c a n ,” said Tom.
“No, you c a n ’t.”
“Yes, I c a n .”
There was silence.
“You’re afraid,” said the boy.
“I'm not afraid," said Tom.

The Adventures of
^ Tom S aw v 6r
“No, I’m n o t.”
T here was m ore silence.
T hen Tom pushed the boy and the boy pushed Tom. Soon they
were on the ground. Tom pulled the boy’s hair and hit him hard.
They both fought a lot. T he big boy was angry and started crying.
“S top,” he said. “Stop!”
“Now, th at will teach you som ething,” said Tom.
Tom arrived hom e late and he was very dirty. W h en A unt Polly
saw his dirty clothes, she thought "W hat can I do with this boy?
Well, tom orrow is Saturday, and he m ust w ork.”
Saturday m orning was beautiful and sunny. It was sum m er and
the world was happy. Tom sat in front of the fence and looked at
it. It was thirty yards 1 long and nin e feet 2 high. H e was very
unhappy.
“It’s Saturday and I m ust paint this long fence. All my friends
will laugh at m e,” he thought.
He p u t his long brush in the w hite paint and started painting.
He stopped and looked at his work. T hen he continued painting.
After a few m inutes he had a great idea. H e continued painting
the fence. He saw his friend Ben Rogers in the street. Ben had an
apple in his hand. He cam e to look at the fence.
“You’re working for your a u n t,” said Ben.
Tom said nothing. He continued painting.
“I'm g oin g sw im m in g b u t you c a n ’t co m e w ith m e. You’re
w orking,” said Ben.
"Do you call this w ork?” asked Tom.
“O f course it’s work. You’re painting a fen ce,” said Ben.
1. y a r d s : 1 yard = 0 .9 1 4 m eters.
2. f e e t : 1 fo o t = 0 .3 0 5 m eters.
12
Tom and th e Fence
“Maybe it’s w ork b u t maybe it isn ’t. I like it!” said Tom. “I can
swim every day, but I c a n ’t paint a fence every day.”
Ben w atched Tom. H e p ainted slowly and carefully. H e often
stopped and moved back from the fence. He looked at his work
and smiled. Ben was suddenly interested in the fence and said,
“Let me paint a little, Tom .”
Tom thought for a m om ent. “I’m sorry, Ben. A unt Polly w ants
me to do it becau se I’m very good at painting. My b ro th er Sid
wanted to do it, but h e ’s not good at painting."
“Oh, please, Tom! Please can I paint? I’m good at painting too.
Here, you can have some of my apple.”
“No, Ben, I c a n ’t —”
“Then take all of my apple!”
Tom was happy but he did not smile. He gave Ben the brush
and sat down to eat the apple.
Tom’s other friends cam e by. At first they laughed at him . But
soon they all w anted to paint the fence. Billy Fisher gave Tom a
kite and Johnny M iller brought him a dead rat. His other friends
gave him an old knife, a cat w ith one eye, an old blue bottle, an
old key and other interesting things. His friends painted the fence
and Tom now had a lot of interesting things. He w ent back hom e.
“Aunt Polly, can I go to play now?”
W hen A unt Polly saw the beautiful w hite fence she was very
happy. She gave Tom a big apple and said, “Yes, go and play! But
don't come hom e late!”

making a lot of noise.
The people in the c h u rc h lau g hed silently. T h eir faces w ere
red. The reverend con tin u ed talking b u t no one listened to him.

On M onday m orning Tom did not w ant to get up.
"Get up immediately, Tom, and get ready for school!" Aunt Polly
cried.

go to school. His clothes w ere old and dirty. H e w ent fishing and
sw im m ing w hen he w anted. H uck was happy.
All the m others of the village hated him because he was lazy 1
and used bad language. All the children of the tow n liked him
very m uch. They adm ired him.
"Hello, Huckleberry! W h a t’s that?"
"It’s a dead cat,” said Huck.
“W h at will we do with it?” asked Tom.
"1 w ant to take it to the graveyard after m idnight," H uck said.
“A dead cat can call ghosts out of their graves.”
“Really?” asked Tom.
"Well, old M rs H opkins told me. S h e’s a w itch 2 and she knows
about these thin gs,” said H uck.
“C an 1 com e with you?” asked Tom.
"O f course! O r are you afraid of ghosts?" asked Huck.
"Afraid of ghosts! O f course not!” said Tom. “C om e and call me
at my window at eleven o ’clock tonight."
Tom was late for sch oo l. T h e te a c h e r w as angry an d said,
“T hom as Sawyer! W hy are you late again?”
Suddenly Tom saw a new girl in the classroom . She had blue
eyes and long blonde hair. She was very beautiful. Tom looked at
her. He was in love! T here was a free chair next to her and Tom

T he teach er was very angry. “You know you m ust never talk to
that boy!” T he teach er took his stick 1 and hit Tom.
“Now go and sit with the girls!” said the teacher.
The children laughed at Tom. He sat down next to the new girl.
H e looked at her. T h en he drew a picture of a house.
“Let me see it,” she w hispered. 2
Tom put the picture in front of her.
“It’s nice. D raw a m a n ,” she said.
Tom drew a m an near the house. It was a terrible picture, but
the girl liked it.
“You draw beautifully. I c a n ’t draw,” said the girl.
“I can teach you after school,” said Tom.
“O h, than k you!”
“W h a t’s your nam e?” Tom asked.
“Becky T hatcher. I know your nam e. It’s Tom Sawyer.”

com ing here. I’m really scared!”
“C an ghosts see us?” asked Tom.
“G hosts can see everything,” answ ered Huck.
“O h, why did I com e here?”
“D on’t be afraid. We m ust be very q u iet,” said Tom.
T he three ghosts moved quietly in the graveyard. They cam e
close to Tom and Huck.
"Tom!" w hispered H uck. “T hey’re not ghosts. T hey’re hum ans.
O ne of them is M uff Potter.”
“You’re right. And th e re ’s Injun Joe and Dr Robinson. But why
are they here?” said Tom.
"They’re grave robbers. 1 They w ant to rob a grave. The doctor
wants a dead body,” said Huck.
1. rob b ers : thieves. T hey take things that are not theirs.

“But why?” asked Tom.
“He cuts bodies and studies them . My father told me about Dr
Robinson,” said Huck.
The three men were at Hoss Williams’s grave. Injun Joe and M uff
Potter started digging. 1 Soon the grave was open. They found the
dead body and pulled it out of the ground.
“Well, doctor, do you want us to take the body to your house?" said
Muff. "You m ust give us five dollars.”
“W hat!” said Dr Robinson angrily. “I paid you this morning. I'm not
giving you more money!”
“I want more money, D octor,” said Injun Joe. “Five years ago I
came to your father’s house. I asked you for something to eat. You
gave me nothing. I still remem ber that. Now you must give me more
money.”
Injun Joe took the doctor’s arm and the doctor hit him. Injun Joe
fell to the ground.
“Don’t hit my friend!” cried M uff Potter. M uff and Dr Robinson
started fighting.
Everything happened very quickly. Dr Robinson hit M uff Potter on
the head. M uff fell to the ground. Injun Joe took M uff’s knife. He
saw Muff on the ground and he killed Dr Robinson with the knife.
The doctor fell on top of M uff and covered him with blood. 2
Injun Joe looked at the two m en on the ground. First he robbed the
dead doctor. Then he put the bloody knife into M uff’s right hand.
A few minutes passed and M uff moved a little and opened his eyes.
He pushed the d octor’s body away. He looked at the knife in his
hand.

“W hat —what happened, Joe?” he asked slowly.
Injun Joe said, “Something very bad, Muff. Why did you kill him?”
“I didn’t kill him!” said Muff. He was very confused. “I drank too
m uch whiskey last night. I don’t rem em ber anything! Tell me, Joe.
W hat happened?”
“You fought with the doctor. He hit you on the head and you fell to
the ground. Then you got up, took your knife and killed him ,” said
Injun Joe.
"I don’t understand, Joe. I never fight with a knife. I didn’t want to
kill Dr Robinson. He was young and he had a future. Oh, this is
terrible! It was the whiskey,” cried Muff. “Joe, don’t tell anyone, please.”
"I w on’t tell anyone, Muff. But now you must leave this graveyard
quickly. Go!” said Injun Joe.
“Thank you, Joe,” said Muff. “You’re a friend.”
M u ff P o tte r ran away an d In ju n Joe w a tc h e d him . T h e n he
c arefu lly p u t M u f f ’s knife n e a r the d o c to r’s body and left the
graveyard.
Tom and H uck were terrified. It was a terrible scene. They silently
moved away from the trees. Then they ran out of the graveyard and
back to the village. They arrived at an old house and decided to hide
there.
“W hat are we going to do?” asked Tom. “We saw everything. Injun
Joe killed the doctor.”
"What can we do? We can't tell anyone,” said Huck. “Injun Joe is
dangerous. I’m afraid of him. Do you want a knife in your heart?”
“I’m afraid of Injun Joe, too,” said Tom. “You’re right, we can’t tell
anyone about Injun Joe.”
"Promise not to tell anyone!” said Huck.
“I promise,” said Tom.

knife n e a r th e body of th e doctor. H e put
M uff in St P etersburg’s small jail.
Tom and H uck looked at each other. “We saw Injun Joe kill the
doctor,’’ said Tom. “M uff d id n ’t kill him. Poor M uff!”
"I know,” said H uck. "But we m u stn ’t say anything. Rem em ber,
Injun Joe is d a n g e ro u s — very d a n g e ro u s. I ’m sorry for M u ff
Potter, too." The two boys were afraid.
“We m ust keep this a secret,” said Tom sadly.
Tom could not forget. At night he had bad dream s about Injun
Joe and M uff Potter. He kept the terrible secret b ut he was very
unhappy. A unt Polly was worried about him. She gave him a lot of
different m edicines. But Tom did not feel better. He was unhappy
at school too. Becky T h atch er d id n ’t talk to him anym ore.

j ^ l f S p ^ T h e Adventures of
^ T om SawvCr
“No one loves me,” thought Tom. “W hat a horrible life!”
It was now sum m er and there was no more school. Tom and his
friend Joe H arper went to sit by the Mississippi River. They fished,
talked and looked at the boats. O ne day Tom said, “Let's go do
something exciting!”
“OK!” said Joe. “But where can we go and what can we do?”
“Let’s run away! We can go and live on Jackson’s Island. We can be
pirates. A pirate’s life is exciting,” said Tom.
Jackson’s Island was a small island in the Mississippi River. It was
about three miles south of St Petersburg. No one lived on the island.
“Huckleberry Finn can come with us too,” said Tom. “Remember,
Joe, don’t tell your mother, father or anyone about our adventure. Go
home and bring some food. W e’ll meet here at midnight.” Tom and
Joe were excited.
At midnight the three boys met on the river. Tom brought some
meat to eat. Joe brought some bread and H uck brought a frying pan. 1
They found a small raft and they went down the river to Jackson’s
Island. W hen they arrived on the island they made a fire and cooked
some meat.
“This is fun!” said Joe.
“We re free and we can do everything we want!” said Tom.
“W hat do pirates do?” asked Huck.
“They go on ships and take the money. Then they go to an island
and hide it in a secret place,” said Tom. The three boys were happy •
and slept under the stars.
The next m orning they w ent swimming in the river. T hen they
w ent fishing. They cooked the fish on the fire and ate it. It was
delicious.

Th e Adventures of
Tom Sawv6r
After breakfast they walked around the island and went swimming
again. In the afternoon they sat around the fire and ate some meat.
Suddenly Tom said, “Can you hear a strange noise? Listen!”
"W hat is it?” asked Joe.
“Let’s go and see,” said ffuck.
They ran to the river. They saw a steamboat and a lot of small boats
near it.
“Every boat from St P etersburg is out on the river,” said Joe.
“W hat's happening?”
“T hey’re looking for a dead body,” said Huck. “The same thing
h ap p en e d last su m m e r w hen Bill T u rn er fell into the river and
drowned." 1
“W ho are they looking for this time?” asked Joe.
Tom thought for a m om ent and said, “I know! It’s US! They think
we drowned!”
The three hoys felt like heroes and laughed.
“The people of St Petersburg are looking for us. They’re talking
about us. We re famous!” said Tom happily.
This was an exciting adventure for Tom, H uck and Joe! They felt
like real pirates on Jackson’s island. The boats and the steam boat
went away. The boys went fishing again and had fish for dinner. Then
they slept under the stars. But Tom could not sleep.
The next morning he w asn’t there.
"W here’s Tom?” asked Joe.
“I don’t know,” said Huck.
After a few m inutes H uck said, “Look! Tom ’s swimming in the
river. H e’s coming to the island.”
Tom told them his story.

Jackson's Island
"Last night I couldn’t sleep. I thought about Aunt Polly. So I went
home but no one saw me. I saw Aunt Polly and your mother, Joe. Poor
Aunt Polly cried a lot. And your m other was very sad too. Everyone
thinks we re dead. I heard some interesting things.”
“W hat did you hear?” asked Huck.
“Well, there will be a funeral for us on Sunday at the church,” said
Tom. Huck and Joe looked at him with big eyes. “And now I have a
great idea. Listen —”
Tom told Huck and Joe his great idea. They liked it and laughed.
Sunday was the day of the funeral. There were no happy faces in
St Petersburg. Everyone in the village was in the small church. Aunt
Polly, Sid, Mary and Joe H arper’s family were all dressed in black. The
reverend said m any kind words about the three hoys. The boys’
families cried and cried. Becky Thatcher cried. Everyone cried a lot.
Suddenly there was a noise at the ch u rch door. The reverend
looked up and stopped speaking. Everyone in the chu rch turned
around and looked. Their mouths opened. The three dead boys slowly
walked into the church. Tom was first, then Joe and then Huck.
There was great silence for a moment. Then Aunt Polly, Mary and
Joe’s m other ran to the boys. They kissed Tom and Joe. Aunt Polly
cried and then she laughed. Poor Huck did not know what to do. No
one kissed him. He started moving away but Tom stopped him.
"Aunt Polly, it’s not right. Somebody must be happy to see H uck,”
said Tom.
“Oh, you’re right Tom!” cried Aunt Polly and she kissed Huck.
Tom was very proud of his great idea.
Then the reverend said, “Let us sing and be happy!” Everybody
sang and laughed. It was a very happy day.

Life on the Mississippi River
ISCi Many of Mark Twain’s novels and short stories take place on the
Mississippi River. When Mark Twain was a hoy he lived on the river and
had many adventures there.
This great river is born in Lake Itasca, in Minnesota, and goes down to
the Gulf of Mexico. It is around 2,300 miles 1 long. The Mississippi has
many branches 2 in 25 states of the United States: the Tennessee River,
the Ohio River, the Wabash River, the Illinois River, the Missouri River,
the Yellowstone River, the Platte River, the Arkansas River and the Red
River. The name Mississippi comes from Indian words “Misi" and “Sipi"
—big water.
Many American Indian tribes lived on the Mississippi River: the Fox,
Winnebago, Ojibwa, Sac, Choctaw, Chickasaw, Natchez and Yazoo. They

Sacajawea guiding the Lewis and Clark Expedition (c. 1904) by Alfred Russel.
traveled on the big river in their canoes 1 for centuries until the middle of
the nineteenth century. Hernando de Soto, a Spanish explorer of the
1500s, was the first white man to see and explore 2 the Mississippi. The
French were the first white people to live on the river. They founded 3
the city of New Orleans in the early 18th century. Today New Orleans is
an important city on the Gulf of Mexico.
American explorers traveled on the Mississippi River and its branches to
explore new lands. In 1803 the American President, Thomas Jefferson,
bought Louisiana from France for $15 million. He asked Meriwether
Lewis and William Clark to explore this immense territory. The Lewis
and Clark Expedition began in May 1804 and ended in September 1806.

They traveled about 8,000 miles from Missouri to the Pacific Ocean. It
was very successful. Lewis and Clark brought back many maps and a lot
of information about the north-western part of America.
After the Lewis and Clark Expedition many people went to live on the
land near the river. Towns and cities were born on the Mississippi River
and its branches. Towns and cities such as New Orleans, Baton Rouge,
Memphis, St Louis, Minneapolis and St Paul, were busy places and
some became important commercial and financial centers.
In the early 1800s the steamboat became very popular. Every day
hundreds of steamboats traveled on the great river, carrying people and
cargo.1
Today millions of Americans live on the river. Steamboats still travel on
the Mississippi, and there are also special steamboats for tourists.

The Trial
ome weeks later it was time for Muff Potter’s
trial. Everyone in the village talked about it.
Tom and Huck were worried.
“H uck, did you tell anyone a b o u t — th a t? ”
asked Tom.

“You know w h a t,” said Tom.
“Oh, of course n o t,” said Huck.
“Poor old Muff. I’m very sorry for him. People say h e ’s a killer.
But it’s not true. And they’ll hang 1 him !” said Tom.
“I'm sorry for Muff too. But we can’t tell anyone about Injun Joe,”

“Were you near Hoss Williams’s grave?” asked the lawyer.
“Yes, sir,” said Tom.
“W hy were you there?” asked the lawyer.
"I went there to see ghosts, with a —a dead cat.”
Everyone laughed.
“W h at did you see in the graveyard? Tell us what happened,”

“W here can we look for a treasu re?” asked H u c k happily.
“Robbers p ut treasure u n d e r old trees or in old houses. We
can start digging u n d e r the old tree on Cardiff Hill. C om e on!
Let’s go!”
T he boys w ent to C ardiff Hill and started digging. It was a

“T h e r e ’s nothing u n d e r this tre e ,” said Huck.

"I’m hot and tired ,” said Tom. “L e t’s go to the h au n te d house.
N obody lives th e re .”
"But h a u n te d houses have ghosts,” said Huck.
“G hosts only come out at night. It’s daytime now,” said Tom.
“Well, alright,” said Huck.
T hey w en t to the h a u n te d house. It was an old, lonely place.
T h ere was silen c e all a ro u n d . T h ey w ere b o th afraid of this
stra n g e p lace. T h ey e n te re d q u ie tly and looked a ro u n d .'
Everything was old and broken. No one lived there. They looked
in all th e ro o m s d o w n s ta irs a n d u p s ta irs . B u t th e r e was no
treasure and there were no ghosts.
Tom and H uck were upstairs. “Sh!” said Tom.
"W hat is it? Do you hear ghosts?” w hispered Huck.
“No! D o n ’t move!” said Tom. “L e t’s sit down on the floor.”
T h ere were holes 1 in the floor and they could see the rooms
downstairs.
“Oh, no!” w hispered Tom. “T here are two m en dow nstairs.”
O ne was an old Spanish m an with long, white hair and a big
hat. T he o th er m an was small and wore dirty clothes.
“L et’s listen to t h e m ,” w hispered Tom.
The two m en sat on the floor. “It’s hot in here and I’m tired,”
said the old Spanish man.
W h e n the boys h ea rd his voice they w ere terrified, “T h a t’s
Injun Joe!” w hispered Huck. T he boys’ faces b ecam e white.
“W h a t are we going to do with the $650 in silver coins? That
was a good robbery!” said the small, dirty man.
“L e t’s take about $30 with us now and hide the bag here. We

can come back to get it soon,” said Injun Joe.
The small, dirty m an moved a big stone 1 in the fireplace 2 and
pulled out a bag. H e took some m oney from the bag. Injun Joe
started digging near the fireplace with his knife.
Tom a n d H u c k w a tc h e d w ith ex citem en t. T h e r e was a real
treasure downstairs! Six hun d red dollars was a wonderful treasure
for two young boys!
Suddenly Injun Joe stopped digging. “T h ere ’s som ething here! I
think it’s a box,” he said. He found an old box and o p en ed it.
“It’s m oney!” cried Injun Joe. “Look! T h ere are lots of gold
coins!” T h e two m en looked at the coins and smiled. T h e box
was full of gold coins!
Tom and H uck smiled too.
“This is the treasure of the old M urrel family — now it’s ours!”
said Injun Joe.
“W here can we hide this gold?” asked the small man. “C a n we
put it back u n d e r the ston e?”
“Yes,” said Injun Joe. “No, no! T he stone isn ’t a good place.
Someone may find it. L e t’s p u t it u n d e r the cross 3 to n ig h t.”
W h e n it was dark outside the two m e n took the silver and
gold away. Tom a n d H u c k did n o t follow th e m b e c a u s e they

The Treasure
om went into the dark tunnel. He saw a light E H
and heard a noise. “Who is looking for us?” he
thought.
Suddenly he saw a hand with a candle. Then he
saw a man. It was Injun Joe! Tom was terribly scared. But it was dark
and Injun Joe did not see Tom. Injun Joe went away quickly.
Tom returned to Becky but he did not tell her about Injun Joe. She
was very weak. 1
It was Tuesday and in St Petersburg everyone was worried. Where
were Tom and Becky? Many people from the village went to the cave
and looked for them. But they could not find them. Mrs Thatcher
became very ill and Aunt Polly’s hair became white.

The Treasure
Then on Tuesday night there was a lot of noise in the streets of St
Petersburg.
“They’re here! Becky and Tom are here!” cried the people happily.
No one went to sleep that night. Everyone listened to Tom’s story
about his adventure in the cave. “We were lost for a long time. We
were hungry and scared. T h en I rem em b ered the string 1 in my
pocket. I used the long string to help me. 1 went down many tunnels.
And I always returned to Becky because I followed the string. Then 1
found another entrance to the cave. It was very small and it was near
the river.”
Tom and Becky were happy but very tired and hungry. Becky stayed
in bed for many days because she was weak. Tom stayed in bed for a
few days too.

Some time after the adventure in the cave, Tom w ent to visit
Becky. M r T h atcher asked Tom, “Do you w ant to go to the cave
again:3
“Oh, I'm not afraid of the cave,” said Tom.
“Well, nobody is going into the cave again. There are big doors in
front of the entrance now. And I have the keys,” said Mr Thatcher.
“What!” Tom’s face became white.
“Is something wrong, Tom?” asked M r Thatcher.
"Injun Joe’s in the cave!” cried Tom.
Many men from St Petersburg went to the cave and opened the big
doors. They found Injun Joe on the ground. He was dead.
After Injun Joe’s funeral Tom went to see Huck.
“Now that Injun Jo e ’s dead, w e’ll never find the money,” said
H uck sadly.
“Listen, H uck ,” said Tom. “I know where the money is!”

“Really?” asked H u c k with big eyes.
“The money is in the cave! I saw Injun Joe in the cave. Why
was he in the cave? Because he took the money there,” said Tom.
“Say it again, Tom,” said Huck.
“The m oney’s in the cave and we can take it.”
“But w e ’ll get lost in the cave,” said Huck.
“No, we w o n ’t. I’ve got candles and a long string. L et’s go and
get a boat!” said Tom.
They took a small boat and w ent down the Mississippi River to
M cD ougal’s Cave.
“Look, Huck, h e re ’s the other e ntran ce,” said Tom.
“It’s very small,” said Huck.
Tom and H uck w ent into the cave. They were careful and used
the long string to help them.
Tom suddenly stopped and said, “I saw Injun Joe here.”
“His ghost is probably here too,” said Huck. “L et’s go now!”
“His ghost isn’t here. It’s probably at the other e n tra n ce .”
“Well, alright. But let’s hurry,” said Huck.
Tom looked a ro un d slowly and th e n cried, “Look, h e r e ’s the
cross!” There was a black cross on the wall of the cave.
“You're right! It’s the cross!" said Huck.
“L et’s dig u nder the cross.”
They dug and dug. Finally they found a small room. There was
a small bed, some old candles and a few bottles. And there was
the tre asu re box! T h ey o p e n e d it a n d saw the gold and silver
coins.
“We re rich, Tom, we re rich!" cried Huck. “This is wonderful!”
“I always knew it!” said Tom. “Now let’s take our treasure and
leave.”
They followed the long string and were soon out of the cave.

The two boys took their treasure to Aunt Polly’s house. A lot of
people in St Petersburg saw the boys and the treasure. They followed
them to Aunt Polly’s house.
Aunt Polly was surprised to see the boys and all the people. “Tom,
what’s in that old box?” she asked.
th e Treasure
Tom opened the treasure box. Everyone was amazed. They looked
at all the silver and gold coins. There was $12,000! Tom told his long
story about Injun Joe and the treasure. It was a great story and
the people listened with their eyes wide open.
Now Tom and H uck were rich and famous in St Petersburg!
