Las aventuras de Tom Sawyer
Capítulo 31, Página 4
After
some
time,
Tom
took
Becky's
candle
and
blew
it
out.
This
action
meant
a
lot!
Words
weren't
needed.
Becky
understood,
and
her
hope
died
again.
She
knew
Tom
had
a
whole
candle
and
a
few
pieces
in
his
pockets,
yet
he
needed
to
save
them.
Soon,
they
started
feeling
tired.
The
children
tried
to
stay
alert,
as
it
was
scary
to
think
about
sitting
down
when
time
was
so
important.
Moving
in
any
direction
was
at
least
progress
and
might
lead
somewhere,
but
sitting
down
was
like
inviting
death
and
making
it
come
faster.
Finally,
Becky’s
weak
legs
couldn’t
carry
her
any
further.
She
sat
down,
and
Tom
sat
with
her.
They
talked
about
home,
their
friends,
the
comfortable
beds,
and
especially
the
light!
Becky
cried,
and
Tom
tried
to
comfort
her,
but
his
words
felt
empty
and
almost
like
jokes.
Becky
was
so
tired
that
she
fell
asleep.
Tom
was
grateful.
He
watched
her
face,
which
became
calm
and
peaceful
as
she
dreamed.
A
smile
appeared,
bringing
peace
to
Tom’s
heart
too.
His
thoughts
drifted
to
old
memories.
While
he
was
lost
in
thought,
Becky
woke
up
with
a
small
laugh,
but
it
quickly
turned
into
a
groan.
“Oh,
how
could
I
sleep!
I
wish
I
never
woke
up!
No,
I
don’t,
Tom!
Don’t
look
like
that!
I
won’t
say
it
again.”
“I’m
glad
you
slept,
Becky.
You’ll
feel
better
now,
and
we’ll
find
the
way
out.”
“We
can
try,
Tom.
But
I
saw
such
a
beautiful
place
in
my
dream.
I
think
we’re
going
there.”
“Maybe
not,
maybe
not.
Cheer
up,
Becky,
let’s
keep
trying.”
They
stood
up
and
walked
on,
holding
hands
and
feeling
hopeless.
They
tried
to
guess
how
long
they’d
been
in
the
cave,
but
it
felt
like
days
or
weeks.
Yet,
it
couldn’t
be
that
long
because
their
candles
weren’t
finished.
After
a
long
while,
Tom
said
they
should
listen
for
dripping
water
to
find
a
spring.
They
found
one
soon,
and
Tom
said
it
was
time
to
rest
again.
Both
were
very
tired,
but
Becky
thought
she
could
go
a
little
further.
She
was
surprised
when
Tom
disagreed.
She
didn’t
understand.
They
sat
down,
and
Tom
stuck
his
candle
to
the
wall
with
some
clay.
They
thought
quietly
for
a
while.
Then
Becky
spoke:
