Las aventuras de Tom Sawyer
Capítulo 14, Página 1
When
Tom
woke
up
in
the
morning,
he
was
confused
about
where
he
was.
He
sat
up,
rubbed
his
eyes,
and
looked
around.
Then
he
remembered.
It
was
the
cool
gray
dawn,
and
the
woods
were
peaceful
and
calm.
Not
a
leaf
moved;
not
a
sound
disturbed
the
quiet
of
nature.
Dewdrops
sparkled
on
the
leaves
and
grass.
The
fire
was
covered
with
white
ashes,
and
a
thin
line
of
smoke
rose
into
the
air.
Joe
and
Huck
were
still
sleeping.
Far
away
in
the
woods,
a
bird
called,
and
another
answered.
Soon,
the
sound
of
a
woodpecker
hammering
was
heard.
The
gray
morning
slowly
turned
white,
and
more
sounds
filled
the
air
as
life
woke
up.
Tom
watched
as
nature
came
alive.
A
little
green
worm
crawled
over
a
dewy
leaf,
lifting
its
body
up
and
"sniffing"
around.
Tom
thought
it
was
measuring.
When
the
worm
came
towards
him,
he
sat
very
still,
his
hopes
rising
and
falling
as
the
worm
moved.
When
it
finally
climbed
onto
Tom's
leg,
he
felt
happy
because
it
meant
he
would
get
a
new
suit
of
clothes,
like
a
pirate's
uniform.
Ants
appeared
and
began
working.
One
carried
a
dead
spider
much
bigger
than
itself
up
a
tree.
A
ladybug
climbed
a
grass
blade,
and
Tom
said,
“Lady-bug,
lady-bug,
fly
away
home,
your
house
is
on
fire,
your
children’s
alone.”
The
ladybug
flew
away,
which
didn’t
surprise
Tom
because
he
knew
they
believed
such
things.
A
tumblebug
rolled
its
ball,
and
Tom
touched
it
to
see
it
pretend
to
be
dead.
The
birds
were
lively
now.
A
catbird
sang
from
a
tree
above
Tom's
head,
and
a
blue
jay
flew
down,
curious
about
the
boys.
A
gray
squirrel
and
a
fox
squirrel
came
along,
watching
and
chattering
at
the
boys,
unsure
if
they
should
be
afraid.
Nature
was
awake
now,
with
sunlight
streaming
through
the
leaves,
and
butterflies
fluttering
by.
Tom
woke
the
other
boys,
and
they
all
ran
to
the
water,
shouting.
In
a
minute,
they
were
swimming
and
playing
in
the
shallow
water
of
the
sandbar.
They
didn't
miss
the
village
sleeping
far
away.
Their
raft
had
floated
away,
but
they
were
glad
because
it
felt
like
they
had
burned
the
bridge
back
to
civilization.
They
returned
to
camp
feeling
refreshed
and
hungry.
They
quickly
got
the
campfire
going
again.
Huck
found
a
spring
with
clear
cold
water
nearby.
They
used
big
leaves
as
cups
and
thought
the
water
tasted
as
good
as
coffee.
While
Joe
cut
bacon
for
breakfast,
Tom
and
Huck
went
to
the
riverbank
to
fish.
They
soon
caught
some
fish.
Joe
didn't
have
time
to
get
impatient
before
they
returned
with
bass,
sun-perch,
and
a
small
catfish.
They
fried
the
fish
with
the
bacon
and
were
amazed
at
how
delicious
it
was.
They
didn't
know
that
fresh
fish
cooked
right
after
being
caught
tasted
the
best.
They
also
didn't
realize
how
much
hunger
and
outdoor
life
added
to
the
flavor.
After
breakfast,
they
relaxed
in
the
shade
while
Huck
smoked.
Then
they
went
exploring
in
the
woods.
They
walked
happily
over
fallen
logs,
through
tangled
bushes,
and
among
tall
trees
covered
in
grapevines.
Sometimes
they
found
cozy
spots
with
grass
and
flowers.
They
found
many
things
they
liked,
but
nothing
surprising.
They
learned
the
island
was
about
three
miles
long
and
a
quarter
of
a
mile
wide.
The
nearest
shore
was
only
separated
by
a
narrow
channel.
They
swam
every
hour,
so
it
was
almost
afternoon
when
they
returned
to
camp.
They
were
too
hungry
to
fish,
so
they
ate
cold
ham
and
then
lay
in
the
shade
to
talk.
But
soon
their
conversation
slowed
and
stopped.
The
quiet
and
loneliness
of
the
woods
made
them
feel
homesick.
Even
Huck,
who
called
himself
Finn
the
Red-Handed,
thought
about
home.
But
they
were
too
ashamed
to
admit
their
feelings.
For
a
while,
they
noticed
a
strange
sound
in
the
distance,
like
the
ticking
of
a
clock.
Now
it
became
louder,
and
they
paid
attention.
They
listened
carefully.
There
was
a
long
silence,
then
a
deep,
distant
boom.
“What
is
it?”
Joe
whispered.
