Capítulo 29, Página 3
“Who
wants
to
go
to
the
cave?”
Everyone
did.
They
got
candles
and
ran
up
the
hill.
The
cave
entrance
was
shaped
like
an
A.
Its
door
was
open.
Inside
was
a
small,
cold
room
with
stone
walls.
It
felt
mysterious
to
stand
there
and
look
at
the
sunny
valley.
But
soon,
the
fun
started
again.
When
a
candle
was
lit,
everyone
ran
to
grab
it.
The
candle
got
knocked
down,
and
everyone
laughed
and
chased
each
other.
But
all
fun
ends.
Soon,
they
walked
down
the
main
path
of
the
cave.
The
tall
walls
of
rock
were
high
above
them.
The
main
path
was
narrow.
Other
narrow
paths
went
off
to
the
sides.
McDougal’s
cave
was
a
big
maze.
People
said
you
could
walk
for
days
and
never
find
the
end.
No
one
knew
the
whole
cave.
Most
young
people
knew
part
of
it.
Tom
Sawyer
knew
as
much
as
anyone.
The
group
walked
about
three-quarters
of
a
mile.
Then
they
split
into
smaller
groups
and
explored
side
paths.
They
surprised
each
other
where
paths
met
again.
They
could
hide
from
each
other
for
half
an
hour
without
leaving
the
known
area.
Soon,
groups
came
back
to
the
cave
entrance.
They
were
tired,
happy,
and
covered
in
candle
wax
and
clay.
They
realized
they
lost
track
of
time.
It
was
almost
night.
The
bell
had
been
ringing
for
half
an
hour.
But
the
end
of
the
day
felt
romantic
and
nice.
When
the
ferryboat
left,
no
one
cared
about
the
lost
time
except
the
captain.
Huck
was
watching
when
the
ferryboat’s
lights
passed
the
wharf.
He
heard
no
noise
because
the
kids
were
tired
and
quiet.
He
wondered
about
the
boat
and
why
it
didn’t
stop.
Then
he
focused
on
his
task.
The
night
was
dark
and
cloudy.
Ten
o’clock
came,
and
the
village
became
quiet.
Lights
went
out,
and
people
went
to
sleep.
Huck
was
alone
with
the
silence.
Eleven
o’clock
came,
and
the
tavern
lights
went
out.
It
was
dark
everywhere.
Huck
waited
a
long
time,
but
nothing
happened.
He
started
to
doubt.
Was
there
any
point
in
waiting?
Should
he
just
give
up
and
go
to
sleep?
Huck
heard
a
noise.
He
listened
carefully.
The
alley
door
closed
softly.
He
jumped
to
the
corner
of
the
brick
store.
Two
men
walked
by
him,
and
one
carried
something.
It
must
be
that
box!
They
were
taking
the
treasure.
Why
call
Tom
now?
That
would
be
silly.
The
men
would
escape
with
the
box
and
never
be
found.
No,
he
would
follow
them.
He
would
use
the
darkness
to
stay
hidden.
Huck
decided
this
and
moved
quietly
behind
the
men,
like
a
cat,
with
bare
feet.
He
stayed
far
enough
so
they
couldn't
see
him.
The
men
walked
up
the
river
street
for
three
blocks,
then
turned
left.
They
went
straight
until
they
reached
the
path
up
Cardiff
Hill.
They
passed
the
old
Welshman’s
house
without
stopping
and
kept
climbing.
Good,
thought
Huck,
they
will
bury
it
in
the
old
quarry.
But
they
didn’t
stop
there.
They
went
to
the
top
of
the
hill.
They
entered
a
narrow
path
between
tall
bushes
and
disappeared
in
the
dark.
Huck
got
closer
because
they
couldn’t
see
him
now.
He
moved
fast,
then
slowed
down,
worried
he
was
too
close.
He
stopped
to
listen.
No
sound,
only
his
own
heartbeat.
An
owl
hooted
on
the
hill.
Scary
sound!
But
no
footsteps.
Was
everything
lost?
He
was
about
to
run
when
a
man
cleared
his
throat
very
near
him!
Huck's
heart
jumped,
but
he
stayed
quiet.
He
stood
there
shaking,
feeling
weak.
He
knew
he
was
near
the
stile
to
Widow
Douglas’
place.
Fine,
he
thought,
let
them
bury
it
there;
it
will
be
easy
to
find.
A
voice
spoke—it
was
Injun
Joe’s
voice:
