The summer holidays came, and there was no school. Tom didn’t want to think about Muff and Injun Joe, But it wasn’t easy. At night, when he was in bed, he saw Injun Joe’s Face in the dark, and he couldn’t talk to anyone about it.
One hot summer’s day he and Joe Harper were down by the Mississippi River. They sat and watched the boats, and fished and talked.
Let’s away from here! Said Tom, suddenly. Let’s go and go something exciting somewhere.
I know, Tom said. Let’s run away. Let’s go and live on Jackson’ Inland. We can sleep out, under the trees.
Jackson’s land was in the mississippi, three miles south of St Petersburg. Nobody lived there.
Let’s Huck Finn, too, said Tom. But don’t tell your mother or father anyone. Go home and get some things to eat, and meet me here at midnight.
So that night three boys in a small boat went down the river to jackson’s Inland. They had some bread and some meat, and Huck had his pipe, too . When they got there, they carried everything on to the Inland and made a fire, under a big old tree. Then cooked some of the meat over the fire and oh, that meat was good- the best dinner in the wirld1 Soon, they stopped talking, their eyes closed, and they slept
The next morning Tom woke up with the sun on this head and a smile on his face. Then Huck and Joe woke up, after the three boys ran down to the river to swim. After that, they fished, and soon they had about six big fish for breakfast. They cooked the fishon their fire and ate them all. They were very hungry.
That, said Joe happily. Was a wonderful breakfast!
After breakfast they walked through the island, swam some more, talke, fished, and swam again. They came back to their fire in the afternoon. Suddenly, Tom looked up and said, Listen. Can you hear boats?
They listen, and then ran across the island to look down the river. There were twenty or more boats on the water. Every boat in St Petersburg was out.
What are they doing? Asked Joe.
They’re looking for a dead body. I think, said Huck. They did that last summer when Bill Turner fell in the river and drowned.
Who’s dead, do you think? Asked joe
The boy watched the boats. Suddenly, Tom dried, I know who's dead! It's us! They're looking for us! This was wonderful. Tom looked at his friends. We're famous! He said. Everybody in St petersburg in talking about us.And they all fell sorry for us! Night came, and when morning came, he wasn't there! Huck, where's Tom? Cried Joe I don't know, huck began, but- Look! There he is. He's swimming across to the island now.Hey,tom At breakfast tom told his story. i went hime last night, he said, and listened at the window.

And listen - I've got a wonderful idea. Hucj and Joe listened and laughed, and ues, it was a wonderful idea. That night the boys cooked some morr fish, and after dinner Huck git out his pipe and began to smoke. Can we smoke, too? Asked Tom. I want to learn' So Huck made pipes for Tom and Joe, and the three boys sat and smoked. Hey, I like smoking, said Tom. It's easy It's nothing! Said Joe. I'm going to smoke every day. But efter ten minutes Tom and joe got quieter and quieter and their faces eent intereasting colour. I'm going for a little walk now, said Tom. He stood up, carefully, and walked away into the trees. Me too, said Joe, quickly. The two boys came back an hour later. But they didn'y smoke yheir piper again. On sundey mornig there were no happy faces in St Petersburg. Aunt Polly and Joe's mother and father were in the church, and alk the boys' friends. The minister said some very nice things about the three boys, and the boys' families cried and crid.

There was a small noise at the back of the church, but at first nobydy heard it. then the minuster looked up - and suddenly stopped speaking. everybody turned to look. Their mouyhs opened. And stayed open. And into the church came the three dead boys- Tom first, joe next. And then Huck. For a second nobody moved or spoke, and then the noise began. Aunt Polly and joe's mother ran to the boys, and lioj them in their arms. Aunt Polly criend, and laughed, and cried again. Oh Tom ! She said. You're a bad boy, but I love you! Suddenly, the ministrr called out, Oh, happy days! Sing,good priple pf St petersboug! sing and be happy! And everybody sang, and smiled, and laughed for a long time. It was St Petersburg's happiest funeral. The weeks went by, and the judge came to St petersburg. on the day before Muff Potter's trial, Hucj and Tin met in the streer near Tom's house. Huck was unhappy. Tom, you didn't tell anyone about Muff? People are saying he's the killer. and he's going to die! But we can't tell anyone anout Injun Joe, said Huck.
