Las aventuras de Tom Sawyer
Capítulo 10, Página 4
Tom’s
entire
being
approved
of
this
idea.
It
was
deep,
dark,
and
serious;
the
time,
the
situation,
the
surroundings
all
matched
it.
He
picked
up
a
clean
piece
of
wood
in
the
moonlight,
took
a
small
piece
of
“red
keel”
from
his
pocket,
got
the
moonlight
on
his
work,
and
carefully
wrote
these
lines,
pressing
down
on
each
slow
down-stroke
by
clamping
his
tongue
between
his
teeth,
and
easing
up
on
the
up-strokes.
“Huck
Finn
and
Tom
Sawyer
swear
they
will
keep
quiet
about
This
and
They
wish
They
may
Drop
down
dead
in
Their
Tracks
if
They
ever
Tell
and
Rot.”
Huckleberry
admired
Tom’s
skill
in
writing
and
the
grandeur
of
his
words.
He
immediately
took
a
pin
from
his
lapel
and
was
about
to
prick
his
skin,
but
Tom
said:
“Wait!
Don’t
do
that.
A
pin’s
brass.
It
might
have
verdigris
on
it.”
“What’s
verdigris?”
“It’s
poison.
That’s
what
it
is.
Just
swallow
some
of
it
once—you’ll
see.”
So
Tom
unwound
the
thread
from
one
of
his
needles,
and
each
boy
pricked
the
ball
of
his
thumb
and
squeezed
out
a
drop
of
blood.
After
many
squeezes,
Tom
managed
to
sign
his
initials,
using
the
ball
of
his
little
finger
as
a
pen.
Then
he
showed
Huckleberry
how
to
make
an
H
and
an
F,
and
the
oath
was
complete.
They
buried
the
wood
piece
close
to
the
wall,
with
some
gloomy
ceremonies
and
chants,
and
the
chains
that
bound
their
tongues
were
considered
locked
and
the
key
thrown
away.
A
figure
moved
quietly
through
a
gap
at
the
other
end
of
the
ruined
building,
but
they
didn’t
notice
it.
