| [00:23.05] | The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn |
| [00:36.24] | Huck in trouble |
| [00:40.18] | You don't know about me if you haven't read a book |
| [00:44.89] | called The Adventures of Tom Sawyer． |
| [00:49.68] | Mr Mark Twain wrote the book and most of it is true． |
| [00:54.88] | In that book robbers stole some money and hid it in a very secret place in the woods． |
| [01:03.42] | But Tom Sawyer and I found it，and after that we were rich． |
| [01:09.85] | We got six thousand dollars each-all gold． |
| [01:16.09] | In those days I never had a home |
| [01:20.61] | or went to school like Tom and all the other boys in St Petersburg． |
| [01:26.91] | Pop was always drunk，and he moved around a lot， |
| [01:32.71] | So he wasn't a very good father． |
| [01:36.74] | But it didn't matter to me． |
| [01:40.77] | I slept in the streets or in the woods，and I could do what I wanted，when I wanted． |
| [01:49.00] | It was a fine life． |
| [01:52.34] | When we got all that money，Tom and I were famous for a while． |
| [02:00.09] | Judge Thatcher，who was an important man in our town， |
| [02:05.41] | Kept my money in the bank for me． |
| [02:08.81] | And the Widow Douglas took me to live in her house |
| [02:12.97] | And said I could be her son． She was very nice and kind， |
| [02:19.71] | But it was a hard life because I had to wear new clothes and be good all the time． |
| [02:30.52] | In the end，I put on my old clothes and ran away． |
| [02:36.79] | But Tom came after me and said that I had to go back， |
| [02:42.24] | But that I could be in his gang of robbers． |
| [02:47.05] | So，I went back，and the widow cried and I had to put on those new clothes again． |
| [02:56.85] | I didn't like it at all．Her sister，Miss Watson，lived there too． |
| [03:04.80] | She was always saying，'Don't put your feet there，Huckleberry，' |
| [03:11.82] | And 'Don't do that，Huckleberry．'It was terrible． |
| [03:18.85] | When I went up to bed that night，I sat down in a chair by the window． |
| [03:25.82] | I sat there a good long time， and I was really unhappy． |
| [03:33.29] | But just after midnight I heard 'mee－yow！mee－yow！'outside． |
| [03:44.54] | Very softly，I answered，'mee－yow！mee－yor！' |
| [03:53.86] | Quietly，I put out the light and got out through the window． |
| [03:59.80] | In the trees， Tom Sawyer was waiting for me． |
| [04:04.85] | We went through the trees to the end of the widow's garden． |
| [04:11.28] | Soon we were on top of a hill on the other side of the house． |
| [04:17.14] | Below us we could see the river and the town． |
| [04:22.14] | One or two lights were still on，but everything was quiet． |
| [04:29.36] | We went down the hill and found Joe Harper， |
| [04:34.02] | Ben Rogers and two or three more of the boys． |
| [04:37.71] | Then Tom took us down the river by boat to his secret place， |
| [04:44.24] | Which was a cave deep in the side of a hill． |
| [04:48.79] | When we got there， Tom told us all his plan． |
| [04:54.01] | 'Now，we'll have this gang of robbers，'he said，'and we'll call it Tom Sawyer's Gang． |
| [05:04.54] | If somebody hurts one of us，the others will kill him and his family． |
| [05:11.63] | And if a boy from the gang tells other people our secrets， |
| [05:17.88] | We'll kill him and his family，too．' |
| [05:21.27] | We all thought this was wonderful，and we wrote our names in blood from our fingers． |
| [05:30.46] | Then Ben Rogers said，'Now， what's the gang going to do？' |
| [05:37.88] | 'Nothing，'replied Tom．'Just rob and kill． |
| [05:44.49] | We stop people on the road，and we kill them，and take their money and things． |
| [05:51.42] | But we can keep a few of the people， |
| [05:54.60] | And then their friends can pay money to get them back． |
| [05:58.77] | That's what they do in the stories in books．' |
| [06:02.11] | But Ben wasn't happy．'What about women？'he asked． ' Do we kill them，too?' |
| [06:13.03] | 'Oh，no，'Tom answered．'We're very nice to them， |
| [06:19.21] | And they all love us， and they don't want to go home．' |
| [06:23.44] | 'Then the cave will be full of women， and people waiting， |
| [06:30.12] | And we'll have to watch them all night…' |
| [06:32.37] | 'We'll all go home now，'Tom said， |
| [06:34.32] | 'And we'll meet next week， and we'll kill somebody and rob somebody．' |
| [06:43.41] | Ben wanted to begin on Sunday，but the others said no． |
| [06:50.69] | It was bad to kill and rob on a Sunday． |
| [06:54.70] | My clothes were very dirty and I was very tired when I got back． |
| [07:03.26] | Of course，the next morning Miss Watson was angry with me because of my dirty clothes， |
| [07:11.20] | But the widow just looked unhappy．Soon after that |
| [07:18.30] | We stopped playing robbers because we never robbed people and we never killed them． |
| [07:24.50] | * * * |
| [07:25.68] | Time went on and winter came． |
| [07:30.69] | I went to school most of the time and I was learning to read and write a little． |
| [07:35.93] | It wasn't too bad，and the widow was pleased with me． |
| [07:40.25] | Miss Watson had a slave，an old man called Jim，and he and I were good friends． |
| [07:48.80] | I often sat talking to Jim，but I still didn't like living in a house and sleeping in a bed． |
| [07:58.59] | Then，one morning，there was some new snow on the ground |
| [08:06.30] | And outside the back garden I could see footprints in the snow． |
| [08:11.87] | I went out to look at them more carefully．They were Pop's footprints！ |
| [08:19.13] | A minute later，I was running down the hill to Judge Thatcher's house． |
| [08:26.68] | When he opened the door，I cried， |
| [08:30.29] | 'Sir，I want you to take all my money．I want to give it to you．' |
| [08:35.70] | He looked surprised．'Why，what's the matter？' |
| [08:41.65] | 'Please，sir，take it！ Don't ask me why！' |
| [08:45.95] | In the end he said，'Well，you can sell it to me，then．' |
| [08:52.84] | And he gave me a dollar and I wrote my name on a piece of paper for him． |
| [08:59.07] | That night when I went up to my room，Pop was sitting there， waiting for me！ |
| [09:08.23] | I saw that the window was open，so that was how he got in． |
| [09:14.54] | He was almost fifty and he looked old． |
| [09:20.94] | His hair was long and dirty and his face was a terrible white colour． |
| [09:28.87] | His clothes were old and dirty，too，and two of his toes were coming through his shoe． |
| [09:37.02] | He looked at me all over for a long time，and then he said， |
| [09:45.01] | ' Well，just look at those Clean，tidy clothes！ |
| [09:53.53] | And they say you can read and write now． Who said you could go to school？' |
| [10:01.97] | 'The widow…'I began． |
| [10:04.79] | 'Oh， she did， did she？ Well， you can forget about school． |
| [10:13.14] | I can't read and your mother couldn't read； |
| [10:17.30] | No one in our family could read before they died，so who do you think you are？ |
| [10:26.69] | Go on，take that book and read to me！' |
| [10:32.77] | I began to read， but he hit the book and it flew out of my hand，across the room． |
| [10:41.91] | Then he shouted，'They say you're rich—how's that？' |
| [10:48.88] | 'It isn't true！' |
| [10:51.41] | 'You give me that money！I want it．Get it for me tomorrow！' |
| [10:57.93] | I haven't got any money．Ask Judge Thatcher．He'll tell you．I haven't got any money．' |
| [11:08.62] | 'Well， give me what you've got in your pocket now．Come on， give it to me！' |
| [11:17.71] | 'I've only got a dollar， and I want that to…' |
| [11:22.52] | 'Give it to me，do you hear？' |
| [11:26.51] | He took it，and then he said he was going out to get a drink． |
| [11:33.80] | When he was outside the window， he put his head back in and shouted， |
| [11:39.53] | 'And stop going to that school， or you know what you'll get！' |
| [11:47.09] | The next day he was drunk，and he went to Judge Thatcher to get my money． |
| [11:55.51] | The judge wouldn't give it to him． |
| [11:58.85] | But Pop didn't stop trying |
| [12:01.39] | And every few days I got two or three dollars from the judge to stop Pop from hitting me． |
| [12:08.73] | But when Pop had money， he got drunk again and made trouble in town． |
| [12:15.90] | He was always coming to the widow's house， |
| [12:20.25] | And she got angry and told him to stay away． |
| [12:24.57] | Then Pop got really angry and one day he caught me |
| [12:30.64] | And took me a long way up the river in a boat． |
| [12:35.54] | I had to stay with him in a hut in the woods and I couldn't go out by myself． |
| [12:42.23] | He watched me all the time． |
| [12:46.08] | The widow sent a man to find me and bring me home， |
| [12:51.07] | But Pop went after him with a gun， and the man ran away． |

| [03:44.54] | Very softly, I answered,' mee yow! mee yor!' |
| [03:53.86] | Quietly, I put out the light and got out through the window |
| [03:59.80] | In the trees, Tom Sawyer was waiting for me |
| [04:04.85] | We went through the trees to the end of the widow' s garden |
| [04:11.28] | Soon we were on top of a hill on the other side of the house |
| [04:17.14] | Below us we could see the river and the town |
| [04:22.14] | One or two lights were still on, but everything was quiet |
| [04:29.36] | We went down the hill and found Joe Harper, |
| [04:34.02] | Ben Rogers and two or three more of the boys |
| [04:37.71] | Then Tom took us down the river by boat to his secret place, |
| [04:44.24] | Which was a cave deep in the side of a hill |
| [04:48.79] | When we got there, Tom told us all his plan |
| [04:54.01] | ' Now, we' ll have this gang of robbers,' he said,' and we' ll call it Tom Sawyer' s Gang |
| [05:04.54] | If somebody hurts one of us, the others will kill him and his family |
| [05:11.63] | And if a boy from the gang tells other people our secrets, |
| [05:17.88] | We' ll kill him and his family, too' |
| [05:21.27] | We all thought this was wonderful, and we wrote our names in blood from our fingers |
| [05:30.46] | Then Ben Rogers said,' Now, what' s the gang going to do?' |
| [05:37.88] | ' Nothing,' replied Tom' Just rob and kill |
| [05:44.49] | We stop people on the road, and we kill them, and take their money and things |
| [05:51.42] | But we can keep a few of the people, |
| [05:54.60] | And then their friends can pay money to get them back |
| [05:58.77] | That' s what they do in the stories in books' |
| [06:02.11] | But Ben wasn' t happy' What about women?' he asked ' Do we kill them, too?' |
| [06:13.03] | ' Oh, no,' Tom answered' We' re very nice to them, |
| [06:19.21] | And they all love us, and they don' t want to go home' |
| [06:23.44] | ' Then the cave will be full of women, and people waiting, |
| [06:30.12] | And we' ll have to watch them all night' |
| [06:32.37] | ' We' ll all go home now,' Tom said, |
| [06:34.32] | ' And we' ll meet next week, and we' ll kill somebody and rob somebody' |
| [06:43.41] | Ben wanted to begin on Sunday, but the others said no |
| [06:50.69] | It was bad to kill and rob on a Sunday |
| [06:54.70] | My clothes were very dirty and I was very tired when I got back |
| [07:03.26] | Of course, the next morning Miss Watson was angry with me because of my dirty clothes, |
| [07:11.20] | But the widow just looked unhappy Soon after that |
| [07:18.30] | We stopped playing robbers because we never robbed people and we never killed them |
| [07:24.50] | |
| [07:25.68] | Time went on and winter came |

| [08:11.87] | I went out to look at them more carefully They were Pop' s footprints! |
| [08:19.13] | A minute later, I was running down the hill to Judge Thatcher' s house |
| [08:26.68] | When he opened the door, I cried, |
| [08:30.29] | ' Sir, I want you to take all my money I want to give it to you' |
| [08:35.70] | He looked surprised' Why, what' s the matter?' |
| [08:41.65] | ' Please, sir, take it! Don' t ask me why!' |
| [08:45.95] | In the end he said,' Well, you can sell it to me, then' |
| [08:52.84] | And he gave me a dollar and I wrote my name on a piece of paper for him |
| [08:59.07] | That night when I went up to my room, Pop was sitting there, waiting for me! |
| [09:08.23] | I saw that the window was open, so that was how he got in |
| [09:14.54] | He was almost fifty and he looked old |
| [09:20.94] | His hair was long and dirty and his face was a terrible white colour |
| [09:28.87] | His clothes were old and dirty, too, and two of his toes were coming through his shoe |
| [09:37.02] | He looked at me all over for a long time, and then he said, |
| [09:45.01] | ' Well, just look at those Clean, tidy clothes! |
| [09:53.53] | And they say you can read and write now Who said you could go to school?' |
| [10:01.97] | ' The widow' I began |
| [10:04.79] | ' Oh, she did, did she? Well, you can forget about school |
| [10:13.14] | I can' t read and your mother couldn' t read |
| [10:17.30] | No one in our family could read before they died, so who do you think you are? |
| [10:26.69] | Go on, take that book and read to me!' |
| [10:32.77] | I began to read, but he hit the book and it flew out of my hand, across the room |
| [10:41.91] | Then he shouted,' They say you' re rich how' s that?' |
| [10:48.88] | ' It isn' t true!' |
| [10:51.41] | ' You give me that money! I want it Get it for me tomorrow!' |
| [10:57.93] | I haven' t got any money Ask Judge Thatcher He' ll tell you I haven' t got any money' |
| [11:08.62] | ' Well, give me what you' ve got in your pocket now Come on, give it to me!' |
| [11:17.71] | ' I' ve only got a dollar, and I want that to' |
| [11:22.52] | ' Give it to me, do you hear?' |
| [11:26.51] | He took it, and then he said he was going out to get a drink |
| [11:33.80] | When he was outside the window, he put his head back in and shouted, |
| [11:39.53] | ' And stop going to that school, or you know what you' ll get!' |
| [11:47.09] | The next day he was drunk, and he went to Judge Thatcher to get my money |
| [11:55.51] | The judge wouldn' t give it to him |
| [11:58.85] | But Pop didn' t stop trying |
| [12:01.39] | And every few days I got two or three dollars from the judge to stop Pop from hitting me |
| [12:08.73] | But when Pop had money, he got drunk again and made trouble in town |
| [12:15.90] | He was always coming to the widow' s house, |
| [12:20.25] | And she got angry and told him to stay away |
| [12:24.57] | Then Pop got really angry and one day he caught me |
| [12:30.64] | And took me a long way up the river in a boat |
| [12:35.54] | I had to stay with him in a hut in the woods and I couldn' t go out by myself |
| [12:42.23] | He watched me all the time |
| [12:46.08] | The widow sent a man to find me and bring me home, |
| [12:51.07] | But Pop went after him with a gun, and the man ran away |

| [00:36.24] | Huck in trouble |
| [00:40.18] | You don' t know about me if you haven' t read a book |

| [00:49.68] | Mr Mark Twain wrote the book and most of it is true |
| [00:54.88] | In that book robbers stole some money and hid it in a very secret place in the woods |
| [01:03.42] | But Tom Sawyer and I found it, and after that we were rich |
| [01:09.85] | We got six thousand dollars eachall gold |
| [01:16.09] | In those days I never had a home |
| [01:20.61] | or went to school like Tom and all the other boys in St Petersburg |
| [01:26.91] | Pop was always drunk, and he moved around a lot, |
| [01:32.71] | So he wasn' t a very good father |
| [01:36.74] | But it didn' t matter to me |
| [01:40.77] | I slept in the streets or in the woods, and I could do what I wanted, when I wanted |
| [01:49.00] | It was a fine life |
| [01:52.34] | When we got all that money, Tom and I were famous for a while |
| [02:00.09] | Judge Thatcher, who was an important man in our town, |
| [02:05.41] | Kept my money in the bank for me |
| [02:08.81] | And the Widow Douglas took me to live in her house |
| [02:12.97] | And said I could be her son She was very nice and kind, |
| [02:19.71] | But it was a hard life because I had to wear new clothes and be good all the time |
| [02:30.52] | In the end, I put on my old clothes and ran away |
| [02:36.79] | But Tom came after me and said that I had to go back, |
| [02:42.24] | But that I could be in his gang of robbers |
| [02:47.05] | So, I went back, and the widow cried and I had to put on those new clothes again |
| [02:56.85] | I didn' t like it at all Her sister, Miss Watson, lived there too |
| [03:04.80] | She was always saying,' Don' t put your feet there, Huckleberry,' |
| [03:11.82] | And ' Don' t do that, Huckleberry' It was terrible |
| [03:18.85] | When I went up to bed that night, I sat down in a chair by the window |
| [03:25.82] | I sat there a good long time, and I was really unhappy |
| [03:33.29] | But just after midnight I heard ' mee yow! mee yow!' outside |
| [03:44.54] | Very softly, I answered,' mee yow! mee yor!' |
| [03:53.86] | Quietly, I put out the light and got out through the window |
| [03:59.80] | In the trees, Tom Sawyer was waiting for me |
| [04:04.85] | We went through the trees to the end of the widow' s garden |
| [04:11.28] | Soon we were on top of a hill on the other side of the house |
| [04:17.14] | Below us we could see the river and the town |
| [04:22.14] | One or two lights were still on, but everything was quiet |
| [04:29.36] | We went down the hill and found Joe Harper, |
| [04:34.02] | Ben Rogers and two or three more of the boys |
| [04:37.71] | Then Tom took us down the river by boat to his secret place, |
| [04:44.24] | Which was a cave deep in the side of a hill |
| [04:48.79] | When we got there, Tom told us all his plan |
| [04:54.01] | ' Now, we' ll have this gang of robbers,' he said,' and we' ll call it Tom Sawyer' s Gang |
| [05:04.54] | If somebody hurts one of us, the others will kill him and his family |
| [05:11.63] | And if a boy from the gang tells other people our secrets, |
| [05:17.88] | We' ll kill him and his family, too' |
| [05:21.27] | We all thought this was wonderful, and we wrote our names in blood from our fingers |
| [05:30.46] | Then Ben Rogers said,' Now, what' s the gang going to do?' |
| [05:37.88] | ' Nothing,' replied Tom' Just rob and kill |
| [05:44.49] | We stop people on the road, and we kill them, and take their money and things |
| [05:51.42] | But we can keep a few of the people, |
| [05:54.60] | And then their friends can pay money to get them back |
| [05:58.77] | That' s what they do in the stories in books' |
| [06:02.11] | But Ben wasn' t happy' What about women?' he asked ' Do we kill them, too?' |
| [06:13.03] | ' Oh, no,' Tom answered' We' re very nice to them, |
| [06:19.21] | And they all love us, and they don' t want to go home' |
| [06:23.44] | ' Then the cave will be full of women, and people waiting, |
| [06:30.12] | And we' ll have to watch them all night' |
| [06:32.37] | ' We' ll all go home now,' Tom said, |
| [06:34.32] | ' And we' ll meet next week, and we' ll kill somebody and rob somebody' |
| [06:43.41] | Ben wanted to begin on Sunday, but the others said no |
| [06:50.69] | It was bad to kill and rob on a Sunday |
| [06:54.70] | My clothes were very dirty and I was very tired when I got back |
| [07:03.26] | Of course, the next morning Miss Watson was angry with me because of my dirty clothes, |
| [07:11.20] | But the widow just looked unhappy Soon after that |
| [07:18.30] | We stopped playing robbers because we never robbed people and we never killed them |
| [07:24.50] | |
| [07:25.68] | Time went on and winter came |
| [07:30.69] | I went to school most of the time and I was learning to read and write a little |
| [07:35.93] | It wasn' t too bad, and the widow was pleased with me |
| [07:40.25] | Miss Watson had a slave, an old man called Jim, and he and I were good friends |
| [07:48.80] | I often sat talking to Jim, but I still didn' t like living in a house and sleeping in a bed |
| [07:58.59] | Then, one morning, there was some new snow on the ground |
| [08:06.30] | And outside the back garden I could see footprints in the snow |
| [08:11.87] | I went out to look at them more carefully They were Pop' s footprints! |
| [08:19.13] | A minute later, I was running down the hill to Judge Thatcher' s house |
| [08:26.68] | When he opened the door, I cried, |
| [08:30.29] | ' Sir, I want you to take all my money I want to give it to you' |
| [08:35.70] | He looked surprised' Why, what' s the matter?' |
| [08:41.65] | ' Please, sir, take it! Don' t ask me why!' |
| [08:45.95] | In the end he said,' Well, you can sell it to me, then' |
| [08:52.84] | And he gave me a dollar and I wrote my name on a piece of paper for him |
| [08:59.07] | That night when I went up to my room, Pop was sitting there, waiting for me! |
| [09:08.23] | I saw that the window was open, so that was how he got in |
| [09:14.54] | He was almost fifty and he looked old |
| [09:20.94] | His hair was long and dirty and his face was a terrible white colour |
| [09:28.87] | His clothes were old and dirty, too, and two of his toes were coming through his shoe |
| [09:37.02] | He looked at me all over for a long time, and then he said, |
| [09:45.01] | ' Well, just look at those Clean, tidy clothes! |
| [09:53.53] | And they say you can read and write now Who said you could go to school?' |
| [10:01.97] | ' The widow' I began |
| [10:04.79] | ' Oh, she did, did she? Well, you can forget about school |
| [10:13.14] | I can' t read and your mother couldn' t read |
| [10:17.30] | No one in our family could read before they died, so who do you think you are? |
| [10:26.69] | Go on, take that book and read to me!' |
| [10:32.77] | I began to read, but he hit the book and it flew out of my hand, across the room |
| [10:41.91] | Then he shouted,' They say you' re rich how' s that?' |
| [10:48.88] | ' It isn' t true!' |
| [10:51.41] | ' You give me that money! I want it Get it for me tomorrow!' |
| [10:57.93] | I haven' t got any money Ask Judge Thatcher He' ll tell you I haven' t got any money' |
| [11:08.62] | ' Well, give me what you' ve got in your pocket now Come on, give it to me!' |
| [11:17.71] | ' I' ve only got a dollar, and I want that to' |
| [11:22.52] | ' Give it to me, do you hear?' |
| [11:26.51] | He took it, and then he said he was going out to get a drink |
| [11:33.80] | When he was outside the window, he put his head back in and shouted, |
| [11:39.53] | ' And stop going to that school, or you know what you' ll get!' |
| [11:47.09] | The next day he was drunk, and he went to Judge Thatcher to get my money |
| [11:55.51] | The judge wouldn' t give it to him |
| [11:58.85] | But Pop didn' t stop trying |
| [12:01.39] | And every few days I got two or three dollars from the judge to stop Pop from hitting me |
| [12:08.73] | But when Pop had money, he got drunk again and made trouble in town |
| [12:15.90] | He was always coming to the widow' s house, |
| [12:20.25] | And she got angry and told him to stay away |
| [12:24.57] | Then Pop got really angry and one day he caught me |
| [12:30.64] | And took me a long way up the river in a boat |
| [12:35.54] | I had to stay with him in a hut in the woods and I couldn' t go out by myself |
| [12:42.23] | He watched me all the time |
| [12:46.08] | The widow sent a man to find me and bring me home, |
| [12:51.07] | But Pop went after him with a gun, and the man ran away |
