Las aventuras de Tom Sawyer
Capítulo 3, Página 2
Then
he
ran
out
and
saw
Sid
starting
up
the
stairs
to
the
back
rooms
on
the
second
floor.
There
were
clods
of
dirt
nearby,
and
soon
the
air
was
full
of
them.
They
flew
around
Sid
like
a
hailstorm;
and
before
Aunt
Polly
could
understand
what
was
happening
and
come
to
help,
six
or
seven
clods
had
hit
Sid,
and
Tom
was
over
the
fence
and
gone.
There
was
a
gate,
but
he
was
usually
too
rushed
to
use
it.
He
felt
at
peace
now
that
he
had
gotten
back
at
Sid
for
pointing
out
his
black
thread
and
getting
him
in
trouble.
Tom
went
around
the
block
and
down
a
muddy
alley
behind
his
aunt's
cow
stable.
Soon
he
was
out
of
reach
of
capture
and
punishment
and
hurried
to
the
village
square,
where
two
groups
of
boys
were
meeting
for
a
mock
battle.
Tom
was
the
General
of
one
group,
and
Joe
Harper,
his
close
friend,
was
the
General
of
the
other.
These
two
leaders
didn't
fight
themselves—they
left
that
to
the
smaller
boys—but
they
sat
on
a
hill
and
gave
orders
through
messengers.
Tom's
army
won
after
a
long
and
tough
battle.
Then
they
counted
the
"dead,"
exchanged
"prisoners,"
agreed
on
the
next
fight's
terms,
and
set
a
date
for
it.
After
that,
the
armies
lined
up
and
marched
away,
and
Tom
headed
home
alone.
As
he
passed
the
house
where
Jeff
Thatcher
lived,
he
saw
a
new
girl
in
the
garden.
She
was
a
lovely
little
girl
with
blue
eyes
and
yellow
hair
in
two
long
braids,
wearing
a
white
summer
dress
and
embroidered
pantalettes.
The
newly
victorious
Tom
fell
in
love
at
first
sight.
Amy
Lawrence,
who
he
thought
he
loved
deeply,
vanished
from
his
heart
without
a
trace.
He
had
believed
his
feelings
for
Amy
were
true
love,
but
now
he
realized
it
was
just
a
passing
fancy.
He
had
spent
months
winning
her
over;
she
had
admitted
her
feelings
just
a
week
ago.
He
had
been
the
happiest
and
proudest
boy
for
only
seven
days,
and
suddenly
she
was
gone
from
his
heart
like
a
stranger
who
had
left.
He
admired
this
new
angel
in
secret
until
she
noticed
him.
Then
he
pretended
not
to
see
her
and
started
showing
off
in
silly
boyish
ways
to
get
her
attention.
He
kept
up
this
foolishness
for
a
while;
but
eventually,
while
doing
some
risky
tricks,
he
saw
her
heading
toward
the
house.
Tom
went
to
the
fence,
leaning
on
it
sadly,
hoping
she
would
stay
a
bit
longer.
She
paused
on
the
steps
and
then
moved
toward
the
door.
Tom
sighed
deeply
as
she
put
her
foot
on
the
doorstep.
But
his
face
brightened
when
she
tossed
a
pansy
over
the
fence
just
before
she
disappeared.
The
boy
ran
over
and
stopped
a
couple
of
feet
from
the
flower.
He
shaded
his
eyes
with
his
hand
and
looked
down
the
street
as
if
he
saw
something
interesting.
Then
he
picked
up
a
straw
and
tried
to
balance
it
on
his
nose,
moving
closer
to
the
pansy.
Finally,
his
bare
foot
touched
it,
his
toes
grabbed
it,
and
he
hopped
away
with
the
flower,
disappearing
around
the
corner.
But
only
for
a
moment—just
long
enough
to
tuck
the
flower
inside
his
jacket,
close
to
his
heart—or
maybe
his
stomach,
since
he
wasn't
very
knowledgeable
about
anatomy
and
didn't
care
much.
He
came
back
and
hung
around
the
fence
until
nightfall,
showing
off
as
before.
But
the
girl
never
appeared
again,
though
Tom
hoped
she
had
been
watching
from
a
window
and
noticed
his
efforts.
Eventually,
he
walked
home
slowly,
his
mind
full
of
dreams.
During
supper,
he
was
so
cheerful
that
his
aunt
wondered
what
had
gotten
into
him.
He
got
a
good
scolding
for
throwing
clods
at
Sid
but
didn't
seem
to
care.
He
tried
to
sneak
some
sugar
right
under
his
aunt's
nose
and
got
his
knuckles
rapped
for
it.
He
said:
"Aunt,
you
don't
hit
Sid
when
he
takes
it."
