THE ADVENTURES OF TOM SAWYER
Summer came, and there was no school. Tom didn't want to think about Muff Potter and Injun Joe, but it wasn't easy. At night, in bed, he saw Joe's face in the dark, and he couldn't sleep.
One hot summer day he and Joe Harper were down by the Mississippi River. They fished and talked.
"Let's get away from here!" - said Tom.
"Let's go and do something exciting somewhere."
"OK", said Joe. "But what? And where?"
"Let's run away. Let's sleep out under the trees on Jackson's Island, a desert island," said Tom. "Let's ask Huck Finn, get something to eat and don't let anyone else know."
That night three boys in a small boat went down to Jackson's Island. They had some bread and some meat, and Huck had his pipe, too. They cooked the meat over the fire and had the best dinner in the world. Soon they stopped talking, their eyes closed and they slept.
