Outside reading post 3

Huckleberry Finn
Mark Twain

So far in the book Huck has tried to sneak out. But came back and got scolded by the widow, who tried to teach him about Moses and religion. Next the story introduces Miss Watson. She is the widows sister who also tried to teach Huck how to spell. That night, Huck snuck away again, but this time he met up with Tom and the gang. Jim thinks he hears something and the boys play a trick on him. After this they talk about the band of robber and how he gave his fortune to judge thatcher and how his "pap" is a drunken idiot.

page 6. "We went tiptoeing along a path amongst the trees back towards the end of the widow's garden, stooping down so as the branches would'nt scrape our heads."

This qoute illustaits the mischivousness of Huck and Tom, and how they always seem to get into trouble but are sly enough to get out of it.
