Las aventuras de Tom Sawyer
Capítulo 1, Página 3
"I
don’t
know,
aunt."
"Well,
I
know.
It’s
jam.
I
told
you
many
times,
if
you
didn’t
leave
that
jam
alone,
I’d
punish
you.
Hand
me
that
switch."
The
switch
hovered
in
the
air—the
danger
was
serious—
"My!
Look
behind
you,
aunt!"
The
old
lady
turned
around
quickly
and
pulled
her
skirts
out
of
the
way.
The
boy
ran
away,
climbed
the
high
fence,
and
disappeared.
Aunt
Polly
stood
surprised
for
a
moment,
then
laughed
softly.
"Oh,
that
boy!
Can’t
I
ever
learn?
Hasn’t
he
tricked
me
enough?
But
old
fools
are
the
biggest
fools.
You
can’t
teach
an
old
dog
new
tricks.
But
he
never
does
the
same
trick
twice,
and
how
can
I
know
what’s
coming?
He
knows
how
long
he
can
tease
me
before
I
get
angry.
If
he
makes
me
laugh,
I
can’t
hit
him.
I
don’t
do
my
duty
by
that
boy,
and
that’s
the
truth.
Spare
the
rod
and
spoil
the
child,
as
the
Good
Book
says.
I’m
making
trouble
for
us
both.
He’s
full
of
mischief,
but
he’s
my
sister’s
boy,
and
I
can’t
hit
him.
Every
time
I
let
him
go,
I
feel
guilty,
and
when
I
hit
him,
my
heart
breaks.
Well,
life
is
short
and
full
of
trouble,
as
the
Scripture
says.
He’ll
skip
school
this
evening,
and
I’ll
have
to
make
him
work
tomorrow
to
punish
him.
It’s
hard
to
make
him
work
on
Saturdays
when
all
the
boys
have
a
holiday,
but
he
hates
work
more
than
anything,
and
I
must
do
my
duty,
or
I’ll
ruin
him."
Tom
did
skip
school
and
had
a
good
time.
He
got
home
just
in
time
to
help
Jim,
the
small
colored
boy,
saw
wood
and
split
kindling
before
supper.
At
least
he
was
there
to
tell
his
adventures
to
Jim
while
Jim
did
most
of
the
work.
Tom’s
younger
brother,
Sid,
was
already
done
with
his
work
because
he
was
a
quiet
boy
and
didn’t
cause
trouble.
