The adventures of Tom Sawyer - 7

On monday morning Tom didn't want to go to school, but Aunt Polly got him out of bed, and then out of the house. In the street near the school he met his friend Huckleberry Finn. Huck had no mother, and his father drank whiskey all the time, so Huck lived in the streets. He didn't go to school, he was always dirty, and he never had a new shirt. But he was happy. The mothers of St Peterberg didn't like Huck, but Tom and his friends did.
"Hello, Huck!" said Tom. "What have you got there?"
"A dead cat."
