We were sure that Jim was locked in the hut （小屋）. We spent two nights digging a hole under the hut. We came up under Jim's bed. He was very surprised to see us. We promised Jim to free him when we were ready. Then we climbed through the hole back to our bedroom and talked about a plan.
Tom wanted to make an adventure （冒险）. He wrote a letter to Uncle Silas telling him somebody was planning to steal Jim. I put the letter the front door. We waited for theopportunityto free Jim.
The next night, some men were in Uncle Silas's siting room一all with guns! We jumped out of the bedroom window and climbed into the hut. "Come on, Jim!" Tom whispered. "Huck, you go first. Then you, Jim. I'll go later. "
We heard somebody shouting, "The thieves have seen Jim!" We quickly climbed out and ran towards the fence.
We kept running like our feet were on fire. We made it to the fence. I jumped over the fence and Jim followed me. Tom was right behind us. Unluckily, he caught his trousers on a nail （钉子）. He pulled them free but the men heard the noise. They started shooting. We ran to the river and jumped into the canoe （独木舟）. We lay down, out of breath.
"Jim! You're a free man!" I said. We were all happy and Tom was the hero. "It was a great adventure," Tom said. "And look! I got a bullet in my leg!" It was true. His leg was bleeding badly but he considered it as part of the adventure.
