The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

Summary: Chapter 1
Chapter 1 starts saying that Huckleberry Finn
and Tom Sawyer found gold some robbers hid in a
cave and it made them rich. They took six
thousand dollars each and gave it to Judge
Thatcher, for safe keeping. Then, the Widow
Douglas and her sister Miss Watson took him with
them and tried to teach him manners, but it didn’t
go very well. When he got tired of it, he ran away
but then, Tom told him he was making a band of
robbers and that he could be part of it if he
returned home and acted respectably, so Huck
returned.
After Huck returned, the Widow kept trying to
teach him how to behave, but the efforts were in
vain. The Widow tried to tech him about Moses
but when he realized he was dead he lost
interest. Then, the Widow told him about heaven
and hell, and Huck said that he preferred to go to
hell because it was easier than going to heaven.
One night, after dinner, Huck went to bed feeling
very lonely. Then, he started hearing the sounds
of the night and he heard a ‘me-yow! me-yow!’ and
he meowed back. He scrambled out of the window
and there was Tom waiting for him.
