The days passed and the river went down.
“I think I’ll go to the town and get some news,” I told Jim one morning.
“Be careful, Huck,” Jim said. “The people in St. Petersburg know you and they think that you’re dead. Why don’t you put on the dress and pretend to be a girl?”
So I did as Jim said.
I took the canoe(独木舟) to the town. Very soon I met a woman and she told me that someone would catch a runaway.
This wasn’t good news for Jim. I hurried back to the cave to tell him.
We set off down the river for the town of Cairo. In order to protect Jim, we travelled at night. What’s more, we covered the raft with leaves and branches during the day.
We never got to Cairo. So we continued drifting down the river because the raft couldn’t sail back up the river against the current. We had a few adventures on the way but nobody caught us. Our life on the raft was very pleasant(令人愉快的) and I was enjoying myself. During the day we made a camp under the trees and slept. As soon as it got dark, we set off again. After dinner we swam in the moonlight or lay on our backs, looking at the stars.
Then one morning something happened and our lives changed.
I was paddling up a side stream to look for berries for breakfast when two men suddenly ran out of the woods.
“Help! Some men want to kill us!” they shouted.
I felt sorry for them. I told them to get onto the raft and we paddled back to the camp. They were both wearing dirty old clothes but they called themselves a Duke and the King. I didn’t believe them. I knew immediately that they were frauds(骗子) but I didn’t say anything.
