Las aventuras de Tom Sawyer
Capítulo 4, Página 1
The
sun
rose
upon
a
tranquil
world,
and
beamed
down
upon
the
peaceful
village
like
a
benediction.
Breakfast
over,
Aunt
Polly
had
family
worship:
it
began
with
a
prayer
built
from
the
ground
up
of
solid
courses
of
Scriptural
quotations,
welded
together
with
a
thin
mortar
of
originality;
and
from
the
summit
of
this
she
delivered
a
grim
chapter
of
the
Mosaic
Law,
as
from
Sinai.
Then
Tom
girded
up
his
loins,
so
to
speak,
and
went
to
work
to
“get
his
verses.”
Sid
had
learned
his
lesson
days
before.
Tom
bent
all
his
energies
to
the
memorizing
of
five
verses,
and
he
chose
part
of
the
Sermon
on
the
Mount,
because
he
could
find
no
verses
that
were
shorter.
At
the
end
of
half
an
hour
Tom
had
a
vague
general
idea
of
his
lesson,
but
no
more,
for
his
mind
was
traversing
the
whole
field
of
human
thought,
and
his
hands
were
busy
with
distracting
recreations.
Mary
took
his
book
to
hear
him
recite,
and
he
tried
to
find
his
way
through
the
fog:
“Blessed
are
the—a—a—”
“Poor”—
“Yes—poor;
blessed
are
the
poor—a—a—”
“In
spirit—”
“In
spirit;
blessed
are
the
poor
in
spirit,
for
they—they—”
“Theirs—”
