Tom's story
Tuesday afternoon came and at one point the light of day faded into the darkness of night. The two missing children could not be found. A public prayer was organized for their welfare. At the same time, everyone has their own personal prayers. But even then no good news came from that cave.
Those who are looking for them have mostly given up and returned to their jobs. They say it is clear they will never be found again. Mig Khachar has become terribly ill. Polly aunt's gray flowers have all turned almost white. When we all fell asleep on Tuesday night, there was just sadness and wailing all over the village.
Towards midnight the village bells rang loudly and the villagers came to the streets. Kate did not wear well as she came out in a hurry. There is a feeling in everyone's face.
'Come out. Come out, they started shouting. 'They were found. Found. Found. Adding to the loud chirping of the church is the sound of tin beating.
The villagers all proceeded towards the river. Wa is coming in an open car. People are dragging them. The people of Gai joined them. They started coming back to the village to cheer.
The lights came on in every house in the village, and no one went to bed. Such a festive night never came to the small town. Aunt Polly's mind is full of joy. Mrs. Thatcher's situation is almost the same. When the good news reaches her husband, their joy will be full. Jung Thatcher is still searching for the girl inside the cave.
Tom lay down on a sofa. He told the curious people around him about his amazing adventure. What happened in the end ধরে he took a tunnel and finished the kite thread. Then when he returned, he saw the light of day in a distant place. Tom dropped the yarn and crawled forward. At the end of the day, the Mississippi River overflows its banks as it sees its head and shoulders melt through a hole.
Tom could not see this light when he went out at night. That tunnel was also hidden behind the eyes.
Tom went back to Becky and told her the good news. The poor thing was tired then. He did not want to believe the news at first. Then when I went with him and really saw the light, the eight-year-old girl was happy.
Tom came out of the hole on his own and then pulled Becky out. They came out of the hole and shouted for joy. Then some people came forward in a small boat. Tom told them everything. People didn't want to believe them at first. They said, "You are five miles downstairs from where the cave is."
The others picked up Perak in their boat. He took the oar
In one house. The two were given food there. Opportunity to rest for two or three hours
In the sleepy river. Inside the limb of Thatcher with a few explorers leaving a thread mark. The great good news is conveyed to them through that thread.
Hunger and anxiety will not go away in a blink of an eye, Tom Becky's end is coming soon. The two remained in bed all day on Wednesday and Thursday. The frustration and exhaustion seemed to increase. It was a little late on Thursday evening. The bar went to the city center. On Saturday, he regained his normal strength. But Becky didn't leave her house until Sunday. Then the girl looked as if she had been sick for a long time.
After hearing the news of Hawke's illness, Tom went to see him. But he was not allowed into the house until Monday. From then on, I had the opportunity to meet Haq every day. But Tom was warned that nothing could be said about his adventures. Voglas's widow was constantly on the lookout for Tom so that he would not have the opportunity to say such a thing.
Meanwhile, sitting at home, the news came that Joe's companion had found the body of a man dressed in worn clothes in the river, near the ferry. He probably drowned while trying to escape.
Fifteen days after Tom was rescued from Oha. One day he came out to meet Haq. He has regained the strength to endure so many provocative conversations. John Khacher's house fell on the way. So take a look at Becky. He had some friends there. They talked throughout the day with Tom. One cunningly asked if Tom wanted to eat in that cave again. Tom Anal doesn't want that.
The judge said, 'The others are just like you, Tom. I have no doubt about it. But we have made an arrangement. No one will lose in that cave.
"Because I locked its huge door with iron. There are three locked fish in it. I have all the keys."
Tom's face turned white like paper.
“What happened, Dad? Hey, who are you, run. Quickly bring a glass of water.
The splash of water hit Tom in the face. You are fine now What happened, Tom? '
"Hey, Red Indian Joe is in that cave.
The news spread within minutes. Dozens of small boats sailed toward McDougall. Soon the passenger ferry was leaving behind the boats. Tom is on Judge Patcher's boat.
Joke was found lying on the floor after opening the cave door. Is dead. His face is near the crack of the cave door, as if his eyes were fixed on the light coming from the open world at the last moment.
Tom has a little pity on Joe. Because Tom is the only one who knows very well what a horrible thing the wretched man has done inside the cave. However, despite the pity, he is now feeling great relief. The previous great panic is no more.
Joe's knife is lying in two pieces nearby. Joe tried to open the door with a knife. He died in vain as he tirelessly painted the picture on the heavy door. Because there is a stone gobar outside the door. When I went to cut the door, the knife was broken. Joe probably knew there was no hope of opening the door. To end the tiring time, he has been wrestling endlessly with a knife.
There are usually half a dozen pieces of wax in the gaps between the stones near the door. These pieces of wax are left by the visitors as they wander around the cave. But now he has none. Joe has eaten everything out of hunger
Lime stalagmite has been slowly forming in one place of the cave for ages. This stalagmite is formed by dripping water from the limestone stalactite hanging under the roof. Joe broke the stalagmite and placed a piece of stone like a cup there. On an average, one drop of water falls in the cup every three minutes. A boring thing. When the Egyptian pyramids were new, these drops still fell. The drops fell during the foundation of the city of Rome. When Christopher Columbus set out on a voyage, a drop of water fell. Still reading. Has this drop of water been falling for five thousand years to meet the needs of Red Indian Joe? Will these drops do another important job in ten thousand years?
Joe was buried near the mouth of the cave. People came by boat and wagon from the city. Within seven miles around, as many villagers and farm people as there were, all gathered near the mouth of the cave. Joe has received a different sentence instead of the death penalty. So everyone went to see.
The day after the funeral, Tom called Hawk to a secluded spot. There are important things. Hawk found out about Tom's expedition. Welshman is old
And Douglas's widowed wife said everything. But Tom knows, one thing they didn't tell Hawk. Now that's what Tom wants to tell Hawk.
Haque's face became depressed. Said, 'I know what you mean. You entered number two. But nothing passed except whiskey. I've been told everything about the inn and its whiskey business. My guess is, you told them everything about the inn.
* Why, Haq, I didn't tell anyone about that boy in the inn. Well, when I went on a picnic on Saturday, everything was fine at the inn. He was on guard that night, do not you remember ??
“Oh, yes! But it seems like it happened a year ago. That night
I went to the widow's house following Joe. '
‘Who did you follow?
‘Yes, but don’t tell anyone about it. I guess Joe has the rest of his friends behind him. I don't want them to conspire against me. If the plot had not failed because of me, they would have fled to Texas.
Tom won't say a word to anyone
Said about his campaign.
"I understand," said Haq, finishing his story. "I think the whiskey he took to room number two stole money. We have bad luck, Tom. ' ‘Room number two never had money, Haq.
‘What!’ Haq stared at his friend's face with sharp eyes. ‘Tom, did you take that money again?
"The money is in that cave, Haq."
Excitement flashed in Haq's eyes. "Say it again, Tom."
‘The money is in that cave.
‘Are you telling the truth, or are you kidding, Tom? '
"It simply came to our notice then. Shall I go there? Will you help me get the money out? '
‘Of course I will! So how do you think the money is there ... ?? ‘Huh, just wait until you get there. If I don't get the money, then so be it
I will give you everything I have. ‘All right. It will be so. When are we going? '
"If your body has the strength to go, then Annie will go." ‘Is the cave too far? My legs are still weak. I can't walk more than a mile. '
‘There is a short way to get there. No one else knows about the path, only I know. I'll take you straight there by boat. You don't have to do anything.
"Let's go straight, Tom."
'Okay, but we need some food. I will also take a couple of small bags, some kite thread and pipes. And some matches. Becky and I lost our way inside the cave, so it would have been nice to have a match. Just after noon they borrowed a small boat from a man. Then he left immediately.
When they were a few miles from Cave Hall, Tom said, "Can you see the white spot on the hill where the landslide is?"
"It simply came to our notice then. Now we will go ashore. '
Two people came ashore.
‘Huh, you can touch the hole wherever we stand, if you want to. See if you can find the hole! ”
Hawk searched, but found nothing. Tom proudly walked towards the thick bushes. Said, 'Here it is! Look here, Haq. The second hole that has been hidden like this all over the country is no more. But I will keep pressing this hole. I've always wanted to be a bandit. However, such a hole is needed to cover the body in case of robbery. We'll just let Joe Harper and Ben Rogers know about this hole. Because without a team there would be no fun. Tom Sawyer's team! It's a gorgeous thing, isn't it, huh ??
"It simply came to our notice then. But whose property will we rob? ' ‘Why, anyone’s wealth. Pedestrians will jump out of ambush on the way
On. Most of the bandits do that. '
"Shall I kill them?" ‘No, not all the time. I will keep them until the ransom is paid
In the cave. '
‘What is the ransom again?’
‘Money. If the ransom is not paid within a year, I will kill them. Of course I can't kill girls. They are always beautiful and rich. Their fear is too much. I will take the girls' watches and other things, but I will always speak politely, taking off my hat. I will find these in any book. ”
"It's better than being a pirate, Tom."
Two of them have completed all the preparations. They went down through the hole. Tom before, behind. The two of them crawled to the far end of the tunnel. Then they tied one end of the kite thread to a piece of stone and left. A few steps later Tom and Hawk came to the fountain. Here, in front of Tom and Becky, the last part of the wax melted and went out. Tom was shocked when he went to describe it to Hawke.
Su'Bandhu is whispering together now. The silence and darkness of the place is painful. As they approached, they came to a place where the front had suddenly risen. In the light of the candle was seen, a steep hill of twenty-thirty feet high.
Tom whispered, 'Now I want to see you one thing, Haq. Holding the candle high, Tom said, ‘Look at that corner as far away as Paris. Can you see that? There is a mark on that big stone that has been marked by melting wax. '
"Tom, that's a cross!" ‘Now, where is your number two? Under that cross, remember?
Right there I saw Joe holding the wax. Haq stared at the sign. He said in a trembling voice, 'Tom, let's get out of here.
'What? I will leave the hidden treasure. '
‘Yes, leave the hidden treasure. The ghost of Nirghat Jo is roaming there. "
"No, not at all, Haq. Joe's ghost will be where Joe died. And that place is Guhamukh, five miles from here."
'No, Ray, Tom. Not that. Her ghost will wander around the money. I know the deeds of ghosts. And you know that too. '
This time Tom also got scared. Haq is right. Suddenly an intelligence played in his head. Said, "Look, Haq, we're just fooling around. Where there is a cross, Joe's ghost will not go near it.
‘Tom, I never thought of that. That's right. We are lucky that it is a cross. Let's go here and look for the box. '
Tom Egol first. Haq followed him. Where the huge rock stood, four tunnels were found. Searching in the first three, two failed. Number four, some blankets and two or three bird bones were found. But there is no seal box.
Tom and Hawk searched, but found nothing. At last Tom says,
‘He said under the rock. But it can't be. Because the stone is pressed hard on the ground.
Once again he looked around the area but did not succeed. They sat down in despair. Haq could not show any intelligence.
Tom's mind slowly opened up. Said, 'Look here, Haq. Some footprints and melted wax can be seen on one side of the rock, but nowhere else. What does all this mean? I bet the money is under the rock. I will dig the ground. ”
'Wisdom is not evil, Tom.
Tom immediately pulled out a knife and started digging. Tom didn't even have to go four inches deep, before he could get a knife and hit the wood. 'Hey, hack! Did you hear?
This time Haq also started digging. The soil began to move in a pinch. Soon some planks came out. They are removed. These planks were covered with a naturally formed hole under the rock. Tom slipped into the hole. Hold the wax in front as much as possible. But he could not see the last head of the womb.
Tom decided to run a search. The narrow path gradually descends downwards, and Tom Egol follows this winding path. First he went to the right and then to the left. Haq is right behind it.
After a short turn, Tom cried out with joy, "Oh my God!" Look here, hack! "
That box of hidden treasures. With a pair of guns. A pair of shoes, a leather kent and some other trivial things are soaking in the dripping water. "It simply came to our notice then. "We're rich now, Tom!" Said Hawk.
"It simply came to our notice then. But now he doesn't want to believe even after getting it. We will not be late here. It remains to be seen whether the box can be lifted.
The box will weigh about fifty pounds. Tom can lift but at ease
Can't carry.
"That's what I thought," said Tom. "I felt heavy when they were carrying the box from that haunted house that day.
They soon filled the sacks with sacks and left them on the rocks. "Come on, let's get a gun and some other things," said Hawk.
'No, Ray. Stay there. When we rob, we only need those things. We will protect things all the time, and we will meet there. Come on, hack. It's getting late. I'm hungry. We will eat by boat. And I will smoke. '
They went to the boat and waited until dark. Then he left. Going down to the shore, Tom said, ‘I will hide this money in the attic of the widow's wooden tent. Then in the morning we will count the seals. Here you are. Keep an eye on the boat until I get back. I'm bringing Benny Taylor's little wagon.
When they reached the Welshman old man's house, they stopped to rest. When the two of them were about to leave, the old Welshman came out.
"Hey, who's there?" ‘Huck and Tom Sawyer.
‘Good. Come with me, children. Waiting for everyone
You left. Hurry up I'll take your wagon. Hey,
Wagon's goods seem so light. What did you pick up in the wagon? Brick or not
Old metal things?
‘Old metal things,’ said Tom.
* So I thought. The boys of the city do not bother for a small amount of money. They find old pieces of iron for sale in the foundry. But if you work regularly, but the income is double. This is human nature. Hurry up
They wanted to know the reason for such a hurry.
‘Don’t worry about it. Douglas's widow will know everything when she goes there. ' ‘Mr. Jones, have we done anything wrong? ' Said Haq. Welshman laughed out loud. Said, 'I don't know anything about this,
Haq. Don't you have a good relationship with a widow? '
"Yes, he is a good friend of mine.
“Then why are you afraid?
The two friends were pushed into Mrs. Douglas's drawing room. Welshman followed them, leaving the wagon at the door. Jose. The room is gleaming with illumination. Everyone in the village was present. The Thatcher, Harper and Rogers families all came. Polly's aunt, Sid, Mary, the pastor, the newspaper editor, and a few other prominent people are seen. Everyone came after their best clothes.
The widow greeted the two boys, although their bodies were covered with mud and wax. Aunt Polly blushed with shame. He frowned at Tom, frowning. But no one was more embarrassed than Tom and Hawke.
Mr. Jose said, “Tom wasn't home. So I gave up hope. But at my door I found Tom and Hawk together. That is why I have brought them without delay. ”
‘Well done,’ said the widow. "Come with me, children. He took the two of them to the bedroom. He said, “Now get clean and put on your clothes. There are two new clothes here. Shirt-socks, everything is there. These are not hacks, no, thanks, hacks. Mr. Jones bought one set, the other I. But the clothes will fit you. Now come clean and put on your clothes.
He went out saying this.
