Las aventuras de Tom Sawyer
Capítulo 18, Página 7
"And
then
there
was
a
lot
of
talk
about
dragging
the
river
for
us,
and
about
having
the
funeral
Sunday,
and
then
you
and
old
Miss
Harper
hugged
and
cried,
and
she
left."
"It
happened
just
like
that!
It
happened
just
like
that,
as
sure
as
I’m
sitting
here.
Tom,
you
couldn’t
have
described
it
better
if
you’d
seen
it!
And
then
what?
Go
on,
Tom!"
"Then
I
thought
you
prayed
for
me—and
I
could
see
you
and
hear
every
word
you
said.
And
you
went
to
bed,
and
I
felt
so
sorry
that
I
wrote
on
a
piece
of
sycamore
bark,
‘We’re
not
dead—we’re
just
off
being
pirates,’
and
put
it
on
the
table
by
the
candle;
and
then
you
looked
so
peaceful,
sleeping
there,
that
I
thought
I
leaned
over
and
kissed
you
on
the
lips."
"Did
you,
Tom,
did
you!
I
forgive
you
everything
for
that!"
And
she
grabbed
the
boy
in
a
tight
hug
that
made
him
feel
like
the
guiltiest
of
villains.
"It
was
very
kind,
even
if
it
was
only
a
dream,"
Sid
muttered
quietly.
"Be
quiet,
Sid!
A
person
does
the
same
in
a
dream
as
they
would
if
they
were
awake.
Here’s
a
big
Milum
apple
I’ve
been
saving
for
you,
Tom,
if
you
were
ever
found
again—now
go
on
to
school.
I’m
thankful
to
the
good
God
and
Father
of
us
all
I’ve
got
you
back,
who’s
patient
and
merciful
to
those
who
believe
in
Him
and
follow
His
word,
though
goodness
knows
I’m
unworthy
of
it,
but
if
only
the
worthy
ones
got
His
blessings
and
His
help
through
the
tough
times,
there’d
be
few
enough
smiling
here
or
entering
His
rest
when
the
long
night
comes.
Go
on,
Sid,
Mary,
Tom—off
with
you—you’ve
delayed
me
long
enough."
The
children
left
for
school,
and
the
old
lady
went
to
visit
Mrs.
Harper
and
defeat
her
realism
with
Tom’s
incredible
dream.
Sid
was
wise
enough
not
to
voice
the
thought
in
his
mind
as
he
left
the
house:
"Pretty
thin—as
long
a
dream
as
that,
without
any
mistakes
in
it!"
What
a
hero
Tom
had
become!
He
didn’t
skip
or
prance
but
moved
with
a
dignified
swagger,
fitting
for
a
pirate
who
knew
the
public
was
watching
him.
And
indeed
they
were;
he
tried
not
to
notice
the
looks
or
hear
the
comments
as
he
walked
by,
but
they
were
like
food
and
drink
to
him.
Younger
boys
followed
him
proudly,
eager
to
be
seen
with
him,
as
if
he
were
leading
a
parade
or
a
circus
into
town.
Boys
his
own
age
pretended
not
to
know
he’d
been
away
at
all;
yet
they
burned
with
envy.
They
would
have
given
anything
for
his
sun-tanned
skin
and
shining
fame;
and
Tom
wouldn’t
have
traded
either
for
a
circus.
