Las aventuras de Tom Sawyer
Capítulo 14, Página 4
"Boys,
I
know
who's
drowned—it's
us!"
They
felt
like
heroes
right
away.
It
was
a
great
victory;
people
missed
them;
they
were
being
mourned;
hearts
were
breaking
for
them;
tears
were
being
shed;
people
were
feeling
sorry
for
being
unkind
to
these
poor
lost
boys;
and
the
best
part
was
that
everyone
in
town
was
talking
about
them,
and
all
the
boys
envied
them
for
their
fame.
It
was
great.
Being
a
pirate
was
worth
it
after
all.
As
it
got
darker,
the
ferryboat
went
back
to
its
usual
work,
and
the
small
boats
disappeared.
The
pirates
returned
to
their
camp,
feeling
proud
of
their
new
fame
and
the
trouble
they
were
causing.
They
caught
fish,
cooked
dinner,
and
ate
it.
Then
they
started
guessing
what
the
village
thought
and
said
about
them.
The
stories
they
imagined
about
the
town's
worry
made
them
happy.
But
when
night
surrounded
them,
they
stopped
talking
and
stared
into
the
fire,
their
minds
wandering.
The
excitement
faded,
and
Tom
and
Joe
couldn't
help
but
think
about
people
at
home
who
weren't
enjoying
this
adventure
as
much
as
they
were.
They
started
feeling
uneasy
and
unhappy;
a
few
sighs
slipped
out.
Soon,
Joe
carefully
suggested
how
the
others
might
feel
about
going
back
to
normal
life—not
right
away,
but—
Tom
laughed
at
him!
Huck,
not
having
decided
yet,
joined
Tom,
and
Joe
quickly
explained
himself,
happy
to
avoid
looking
too
homesick.
Any
thoughts
of
leaving
were
put
aside
for
now.
As
the
night
got
deeper,
Huck
began
to
nod
off
and
soon
started
snoring.
Joe
was
next.
Tom
lay
still
on
his
elbow,
watching
them
closely.
Finally,
he
got
up
quietly
and
searched
the
grass
and
shadows
from
the
campfire.
He
picked
up
some
large
pieces
of
thin
white
bark
from
a
sycamore
tree
and
chose
two
that
seemed
right.
He
knelt
by
the
fire
and
carefully
wrote
something
on
each
with
his
"red
keel."
He
rolled
one
up
and
put
it
in
his
jacket
pocket.
He
placed
the
other
in
Joe's
hat
and
moved
it
a
bit
away.
He
also
put
in
the
hat
some
valuable
treasures:
a
piece
of
chalk,
a
rubber
ball,
three
fishhooks,
and
a
marble
known
as
a
"sure
'nough
crystal."
Then
he
quietly
moved
through
the
trees
until
he
thought
he
was
far
enough,
and
then
he
ran
quickly
toward
the
sandbar.
