但是，本不高兴了。“女人怎么办？”他问道，“我们也杀她们吗？”
“噢，不，”汤姆回答。“我们待她们很友好，她们都爱我们，她们不想回家。”
“那么，岩洞里全都是女人，人们等待着，我们将不得不整夜监视她们……”
“我们现在都回家吧，”汤姆说，“我们下周碰头，杀个什么人，抢劫个什么人。”
本想星期天开始，但是，其他的人不同意。星期天杀人抢劫是不好的。
我回来时，衣眼很脏，我也很疲倦。第二天早晨，当然是因为我的脏衣服，沃森小姐很生我的气，可寡妇只是看上去不高兴。之后不久，我们就不玩强盗的游戏了，因为，我们从来没抢劫过人，从来没杀过人。

时间流逝，冬天来到了。大部分时间我去学校上学，我学认字，也学着写一点。不太糟，寡妇对我挺满意。沃森小姐有一个奴隶，是个叫吉姆的老头，我和他是好朋友。我经常坐着和他聊天，但我仍然不喜欢住在房子里，睡在床上。
后来，一天早晨，地上覆盖了一层新雪，我能够看见后花园外边雪中的脚印。我出去更加仔细地察看，是爸爸的脚印！
片刻之后，我跑下山来到了撒切尔法官家。他打开门时，我叫喊着，“先生，我要你把我的钱都拿去。我想把钱送给你。”
他看上去很惊讶。“嗨，怎么回事？”
“先生，请收下！不要问我为什么！”
最后，他说，“好吧，你可以卖给我。”他给了我一个美元，我在一张纸上为他写上了我的名字。
那天晚上，当我走进我的房屋时，爸爸坐在那儿，正在等我！我看见窗户是开着的，所以，他是从窗户进来的。
他差不多50岁了，显得很老。他的头发又长又脏，脸色白得可怕。他的衣眼也又旧又脏，两个脚指头从鞋里露了出来。他久久地上下打量着我，然后说道，“噢，就看看这些干净、整齐的衣服吧！他们说你现在能认字、写字了。谁说你可以上学了？”
“寡妇……”我开始说。
“噢，她说的，是吗？好吧，你可以不提学校。我不认字，你妈妈不认字；咱们家人一直到死，都没有人认字，所以，你觉得你挺不错吧，拿起那本书，给我念念！”
我开始念，但是，他将书打飞出我的手，穿过房间。然后，他喊道，“他们说你发财了——那是怎么回事？”
“那不是真的！”
“你把钱给我！我要钱。明天给我把钱拿来！”
“我没有钱。问问撒切尔法官，他会告诉你。我没有钱。”
“好吧，把你口袋里的钱给我。快点，把钱给我！”
“我只有一美元，我想用它去买……”
“把钱给我，你听见没有？”
他拿了钱，然后，他说，他要去喝一杯。到了窗外时，他把头伸了回来，叫喊道，“别再去那个学校了，否则你清楚你会得到什么！”
第二天，他喝醉了，他去了撒切尔法官家去要我的钱，法官没给他。但是，爸爸不停地去要钱。每隔几天，我就从法官那儿拿两三美元给爸爸，免得他打我。但是，爸爸有钱时，就喝醉酒，在镇上惹麻烦。他总是到寡妇的家来，寡妇很气愤，让他走开。爸爸真生气了。一天，他抓住了我，用一只船带我往河上游走了很长一段路。我不得不和他呆在树林中的一个小木屋里，我不能独自外出。他一直监视着我。寡妇派了个人找我，要把我带回家，可是，爸爸拿了支枪跟在后面，那个人吓跑了。
■ 2 Huck escapes and finds a friend
Mostly it was a lazy，comfortable kind of life，but after about two months Pop began to hit me too much with his stick．He often went away into town too，and then he always locked me in the hut．Once he was away for three days and I thought I was never going to get out again．
When he came back that time，he was drunk and angry．He wanted my money，but Judge Thatcher wouldn't give it to him．The judge wanted to send me to live with the widow again，Pop told me．I wasn't very pleased about that．I didn't want to go back there．
So I decided to escape and go down the river and live in the woods somewhere． When Pop was out，I began to cut a hole in the wooden wall of the hut． In a few days，when the hole was bigger，I could take the wood cut， escape through the hole，and put the wood back．
One morning Pop sent me down to the river to catch some fish for breakfast．To my surprise， there was a canoe in the water and there was no one in it．Immediately，I jumped into the river and brought the canoe to the side． It was lucky that Pop didn't see me，and I decided to hide the canoe under some trees and use it when I escaped．
That afternoon，Pop locked me in and went off to town．'He won't be back tonight，'I thought， so I began to work hard at my hole．Soon I could get out through it，and I carried food and drink and Pop's gun down to the canoe．Then I put back the wood to hide the hole，took the gun and went into the woods．There I shot a wild pig and took it back to the hut with me．Next，I broke down the door with an axe．I carried the pig into the hut and put some of its blood on the ground． Then I put some big stones in a sack and pulled it along behind me to the river．Last of all，I put some blood and some of my hair on the axe．I left the 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 think it's me．'
Then I took the canoe and went down the river to Jackson's Island． By then it was nearly dark， so 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 in the sky．I was warm and comfortable and I didn't want to get up．Suddenly，I heard a noise up the river．Carefully，I looked through the trees，and I saw a boat full of people．There was Pop，Judge Thatcher，Tom Sawyer and his Aunt Polly and his brother Sid， and lots of others． They were looking for my body in the river． I watched them， but they didn't see me， and in the end they went away．I knew that nobody was going to come and look for me again．I found a good place under the trees to sleep and to put my things．Then I caught a fish and cooked it over a fire．
I lived like that for three days
