哈克贝里·费恩历险记1_英文小说
this was hard for me because i was used to sleeping in the woods or wandering about the streets at night-time. window douglas's sister, miss watson, an old maid with glasses, came to live with her, and i didn't like her at all. she made me learn spelling for hours. i found this very dull and i just couldn't sit still . "don't put your feet up, huckleberry,"she would say. "sit up straight, boy." "don't yawn like that." "do try and behave."
i bore this as long as i could and then i ran away to the woods, where i felt free. it was tom sawyer who persuaded me to go back to widow douglas's again. he found out where i was hiding and came to me and said, "huck, i'm going to start a band of robbers.i'm letting joe harper join, and ben rogers as well. you can join too,huck ,if you go back to widow douglas's.think it over, huck." i thought it over and, in the end, went back to the widow's house and even to school.
the signal for the first meeting of the band came late one night. i was sitting by my bedroom window, feeling lonely and miserable.
