The Adventures of Tom Sawyer
Tom Sawyer lived with his Aunt Polly and half-brother Sid in the small town of St. Petersburg. Tom was a mischievous boy who loved adventure and often found himself in trouble. One day, while playing hooky from school, Tom met a new boy in town, Huckleberry Finn. Huck was the son of the town drunkard and was not liked by the mothers of the town, but Tom admired him for his freedom and adventurous spirit.
Tom and Huck decided to become “blood brothers” by pricking their fingers and mixing their blood. They swore to keep each other’s secrets and embarked on many adventures together. One night, they went to the graveyard to try out a new cure for warts that Huck had heard about. While they were there, they witnessed a murder. Terrified, they swore never to tell anyone what they had seen.
Despite his mischievous ways, Tom had a good heart. He often felt guilty about his actions and tried to make amends. He also had a soft spot for Becky Thatcher, the new girl in town. Tom’s adventures and misadventures taught him valuable lessons about friendship, loyalty, and bravery.
