At night he had bad dreams about Injun Joe and Muff Potter. He kept the terrible secret but he was very unhappy. It was now summer and there was no more school. Tom and his friend Joe Harper went to sit by the Mississippi River. Jackson’s Island was a small island in the Mississippi Fiver. It was about three miles south of St Petersburg. No on lived on the island. At midnight the three boys met on the river. They listen a strange noise and ran to the river. Then they saw a steamboat and a lot of small boats near it. This was a exciting adventure for Tom, Huck and Joe! In the village, everyone thinks they’re dead. Tom tells Huck and Joe his great idea. The day of the funeral, there were no happy faces. Everyone was in the small church. Everyone cried a lot, suddenly there was a noise at the church door. Their mouths opened, because the three dead boys slowly walked into the church. Every body sang and laughed. It was very happy day.
