Every day, from early in the morning until late in the evening, under the hot sun, the slaves picked cotton and put it in their sack. When finishing, Legree weighed it, and there was whipping(抽打) for the slaves that didn’t pick enough cotton. Tom learnt to pick cotton quickly.
One day a new beautiful woman, Cassy, arrived to pick cotton. Tom noticed that she was very fast, he also noticed that an older slave, Martha, was in pain. She was slow, and her sack was almost empty. Tom went near Martha, and silently put a lot of his cotton into her sack.
“No, don’t!” said the new woman, “They will punish you.”
Just then Sambo arrived.
“What’s happening ” he said, and he kicked Martha and whipped Tom across his face.
“Work faster, you animal!” But when he left, Tom quickly gave her some more of his cotton.
Suddenly, the new woman put much cotton in Tom’s sack.
“Tom is going to make much trouble. He kept putting cotton into Marth’s sack,” Sambo told Legree.
“Then we’ll have to teach him a lesson,” said Legree.
Slowly the tired slaves came into the room for the weighing of the sacks. First Legree weighed Tom’s sack, and it was enough. Martha’s sack was next. The weight was enough, but Legree shouted at her.
“You lazy animal! This is not enough! Stay here and wait.” He finished weighing all the other sacks, and then turned to Tom.
“Come here,” said Legree, “l want to give you a better job than picking cotton, and you can start tonight: take this woman and whip her-you know how.”
“I’m sorry, Master,” said Tom. “ I can’t do it.”第 6页;共 8页
Legree whipped Tom across his face and then hit him with his fists many times.
“There!” he said. “Now will you tell me you can’t do it ”
“Yes, Master,” said Tom, with blood running down his face. “I will work night and day, but I will never whip another person.”
“I bought you, and you’re mine, body and soul”, Legree said, kicking Tom.
“My soul isn’t yours, Master! You can’t buy it!”
“We’ll see, “said Legree, “Sambo, Quimbo, give this dog a lesson.”

"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 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 preferred to travel at night rather than travel in the day. 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 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 river to look for berries for breakfast when two men suddenly ran out of the woods.
"Help! Some men want to kill s!" 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.
