Las aventuras de Tom Sawyer
Capítulo 16, Página 8
Around
midnight
Joe
woke
up
and
called
the
boys.
The
air
felt
heavy
and
strange,
like
something
was
going
to
happen.
The
boys
sat
close
to
the
fire
for
comfort,
even
though
it
was
hot.
They
sat
quietly,
waiting.
Everything
outside
the
firelight
was
dark.
Suddenly,
a
soft
light
showed
the
trees
for
a
moment,
then
disappeared.
Another
light
came,
a
bit
stronger.
Then
another.
A
soft
wind
blew
through
the
trees,
and
the
boys
felt
a
breeze
on
their
cheeks
and
shivered.
There
was
a
pause.
Then
a
bright
flash
turned
night
into
day
and
showed
everything
around
them.
It
showed
their
scared
faces
too.
Thunder
rolled
across
the
sky.
A
cold
wind
blew,
shaking
the
leaves
and
scattering
ashes
from
the
fire.
Another
bright
light
came,
and
a
loud
crash
followed.
The
boys
held
each
other
in
fear.
A
few
big
raindrops
fell
on
the
leaves.
"Quick!
Boys,
go
for
the
tent!"
shouted
Tom.
They
ran,
stumbling
over
roots
and
vines
in
the
dark,
going
in
different
directions.
A
strong
wind
roared
through
the
trees.
Flash
after
flash
came,
and
loud
thunder
followed.
Then
heavy
rain
poured
down,
and
the
wind
drove
it
along
the
ground.
The
boys
shouted
to
each
other,
but
the
wind
and
thunder
drowned
their
voices.
One
by
one,
they
found
their
way
back
and
took
shelter
under
the
tent,
cold,
scared,
and
soaking
wet.
But
they
were
glad
to
be
together.
They
couldn't
talk
because
the
wind
was
too
loud.
The
storm
got
stronger,
and
soon
the
tent
tore
away
in
the
wind.
The
boys
grabbed
each
other's
hands
and
ran
to
a
big
oak
tree
by
the
river.
The
storm
was
at
its
worst.
Lightning
lit
up
everything:
the
trees,
the
river,
and
the
hills.
Sometimes
a
big
tree
fell
with
a
crash.
The
thunder
was
loud
and
scary.
The
storm
seemed
like
it
would
tear
the
island
apart,
burn
it,
drown
it,
and
blow
it
away
all
at
once.
It
was
a
wild
night
for
young
boys
to
be
outside.
But
finally,
the
storm
ended.
The
noise
got
quieter,
and
peace
returned.
The
boys
went
back
to
camp,
feeling
a
bit
scared.
But
they
were
thankful
because
the
big
sycamore
tree,
where
they
slept,
had
been
hit
by
lightning.
They
were
glad
they
weren't
under
it
when
it
happened.
Everything
in
the
camp
was
wet,
even
the
campfire.
They
hadn't
thought
about
the
rain.
They
were
soaked
and
cold.
They
complained,
but
then
they
saw
that
the
fire
had
burned
far
enough
under
a
big
log
that
some
of
it
stayed
dry.
They
worked
hard
and
got
the
fire
going
again
with
dry
bark
and
twigs.
They
made
a
big
fire
and
felt
happy
again.
They
dried
their
ham
and
had
a
feast.
Then
they
sat
by
the
fire
and
talked
about
their
adventure
until
morning
because
there
wasn't
a
dry
place
to
sleep.
As
the
sun
started
to
shine
on
the
boys,
they
felt
sleepy.
They
went
to
the
sandbar
and
lay
down
to
sleep.
Soon,
the
sun
woke
them
up,
and
they
slowly
got
breakfast.
After
eating,
they
felt
tired
and
a
bit
homesick
again.
Tom
saw
this
and
tried
to
cheer
up
the
pirates.
But
they
did
not
want
to
play
marbles,
go
to
the
circus,
or
swim.
He
reminded
them
of
their
big
secret,
and
they
felt
a
little
better.
Then
he
had
a
new
idea.
They
could
stop
being
pirates
for
a
while
and
be
Indians
instead.
They
liked
this
idea,
so
soon
they
covered
themselves
with
black
mud,
like
zebras.
They
were
all
chiefs,
of
course,
and
ran
through
the
woods
to
attack
an
English
settlement.
After
a
while,
they
split
into
three
enemy
tribes.
They
jumped
out
at
each
other
with
loud
war
cries
and
pretended
to
kill
and
scalp
each
other.
It
was
a
bloody
day,
but
they
found
it
very
exciting
and
fun.
They
came
back
to
camp
around
suppertime,
hungry
and
happy.
But
there
was
a
problem—enemy
Indians
could
not
eat
together
without
making
peace
first.
They
had
to
smoke
a
peace
pipe.
They
didn't
know
any
other
way.
Two
of
the
boys
almost
wished
they
were
still
pirates.
But
there
was
no
choice,
so
they
tried
to
be
cheerful.
They
called
for
the
pipe
and
took
turns
smoking
it.
