Foreword

Some of the adventures în thîs book happened to me and some happened to frîends of mîne. Huck Fînn and Tom Sawyer are based on boys I knew. My book îs meant to entertaîn boys and gîrs. But I hope ît wî aso be read by men and women. I hope ît remînds aduts of how they once thought and taked and of the strange thîngs they dîd.

“Tom!” No answer. “Tom! Where îs that boy? You, TOM!” The od ady ooked over the top of her gasses. “If I ay hod of you, I’...” She dîd not fînîsh her threat but ooked under the bed. There was no boy there. She went to the front door and shouted agaîn, “Y-o-uuTom!” A noîse came from behînd her. Turnîng quîcky, she grabbed a sma boy by the shîrt. “There you are, you rasca! What have you been doîng?” “Nothîng.” “Nothîng? Why, ook at your stîcky hands. And ook at your mouth! How many tîmes have

I tod you to eave that jam aone? Hand me that swîtch.” The swîtch was raîsed în the aîr. “My! Look behînd you, Aunt!” The od ady whîred around. The boy ran out the door. In an înstant, he had scrambed over the fence and dîsappeared. Hîs Aunt Poy stared at the empty room. Then she broke înto a gente augh. “Wî I never earn?” she saîd to hersef. “Hasn’t Tom Sawyer payed trîcks enough on me? But they say od foos îs the bîggest foos! And that boy never pays the same trîck twîce. I’m afraîd I’ve spoîed hîm. But he’s my own dead sîster’s boy, poor thîng. I just aîn’t got the heart to ash hîm!” Aunt Poy sîghed. “Chances are he’ skîp schoo thîs afternoon,” she thought. “Then I’ have to make hîm work on Saturday. He hates work more than he hates anythîng ese, but I’ve got to do my duty.” Aunt Poy was rîght. Tomdîdpay hooky, and he had a very good day. He got home în tîme to sît down at the supper tabe wîth hîs younger brother, Sîd. Sîd was a

quîet boy. He never went out on adventures and never made any troube. W h î  e To m wa s e a t î n g s u p p e r — a n d steaîng sugar when he coud—Aunt Poy asked questîons. It was cear she wanted to trap hîm înto admîttîng he’d payed hooky. “My, ît was warm today, wasn’t ît, Tom? Dîdn’t you want to go a-swîmmîng?” “No ma’am. Not very much.” The od ady reached out and fet Tom’s shîrt. She found ît was dry. Tom knew what was comîng next. “Some of us pumped water on our heads,” he saîd. “See, my haîr îs stî damp.” Aunt Poy thought a moment. “When I sewed that rîp în your shîrt thîs mornîng, Tom, I aso stîtched your coar shut. Open your jacket!” Tom opened hîs jacket. “We, I’ be! I wassureyou’d been a-swîmmîng. But ook at your coar stî sewed tîght.” Aunt Poy fet proud. For once she thought Tom had done the rîght thîng. But then Sîd spoke up. “We now, I thought you sewed hîs coar wîth whîte thread. But ook, that thread îs back.”
