The Adventures of Tom Sawyer Chapter 3 and 4 Reading Notes

Chapter 34: Gold is like a mountain, making Tom and Huck rich

Huck said: "Tom, if we get the rope, we can slide down. The window is not even above the ground." How high."

"Nonsense, why did you run away?"

"It's like this. I'm not used to being with a large group of people. I can't stand it anyway. I won't go down."

"It's really annoying! It's not a big deal, I don't care at all, I will take care of you."

Here comes Sid.

"Tom," he said, "Aunt Polly has been waiting for you all afternoon. Mary has prepared a dress for you. Everybody is worried about you. Hello, this Isn’t it candle oil and clay?”

“Come on, Mr. Sid, why are they eating and drinking here today?” >"This is a banquet at the widow's house. She often entertains guests. This time it is held for Wilsman and his son to thank them for their life-saving help. Hello, do you want to know more? ? I can tell you."

"Well, what is it?"

"What is it? Mr. Jones has some amazing news to tell people here tonight. When I was talking to my aunt about it, I heard this secret. But I think it is no longer a secret. Everyone knows it, even the widow knows it, but

< p>But she tried her best to hide it. You see, how could he tell the big secret if Huck wasn't there?"

"Hopefully! De, what kind of secret is it?"

"It's the incident where Huck followed the robber to the widow's house. I think Jones wanted to use this to make a big splash.

But I bet he won't succeed."

Sid smiled, contentedly.

"Sid, it was you who leaked the secret!"

"Come on, don't care who did it, someone has already told the secret, that's enough ."

"Sid, there is only one dirty guy in this town who would do this, and that's you. If you were in Huck's position, you would have run away a long time ago. You will report the robbers to others. You will only do some despicable and dirty things, and you will not be praised for doing good deeds. Okay, I will reward you with this - 'no need to say thank you', according to the widow. "

As Tom said, he slapped him in the face, kicked and pushed him out of the door. "Okay, hurry up and complain to your aunt. As long as

you dare, you will feel better tomorrow."

A few minutes later, the guests of the widow's family were all sitting at the dinner table Next to it, a dozen children were also arranged to sit neatly at the small dining table in the same room. This was the custom at that time. After a while, Mr. Jones made a brief speech. He

thanked the widow for hosting this banquet for him and his son, but he also said that there was another very humble person——

After he has said a lot, he suddenly and dramatically announces that Huck was present in the adventure. People seemed surprised, but they were actually pretending. If we encounter such a cheerful scene in normal times, people will become even more lively after hearing the secret.

But the widow was the only one who looked quite surprised. She kept praising and thanking Huck for what he had done. As a result, Huck almost forgot about the uncomfortable feeling of wearing new clothes in front of everyone.

The widow said she planned to adopt Huck, let him go to school and get an education, and let him do some small business once he had money. Tom finally had the chance

to strike up a conversation, and he said:

"Huck doesn't need that, he's rich."

It was ridiculous to hear this. If so, the guests here held back their laughter for the sake of face, but the scene was embarrassing. Tom

broke the silence.

"Huck is rich. You may not believe it, but he really has a lot of money. Hey, don't laugh, I will let you see it. Please wait a moment Wait a moment."

Tom ran out the door. The people were confused and looked at each other curiously. He asked Huck again, but he was speechless at this time.

"Sid, what's wrong with Tom?" Aunt Polly asked, "He - really, I've never guessed him, I've never

never - ”

Before she finished speaking, she saw Tom walking in with difficulty carrying his pocket. He poured the yellow gold coins on the table and said:

"Look! What did I just say? Half of it is Huck's and half of it is mine!"

This made Everyone present was shocked. Everyone just stared at the table, and no one spoke for a while. Then everyone unanimously asked Tom to tell the whole story. Tom agreed wholeheartedly, so he told the whole story. Although the words were very long, everyone listened with interest, and no one interrupted his narration.

After Tom finished speaking, Mr. Jones said:

"I thought I would surprise everyone today, but after listening to Tom's account, I admit that mine is nothing at all< /p>

"

The money was counted, and the total was twelve thousand dollars. Although some of the people here have more than this amount of money, this is the first time I have seen so much money at once.
