Huck is my name, Huckleberry Finn. I live in the town of St. Petersburg in the state of Missouri. It is a small town but it is near a very big river called Mississippi. This is a story of a journey that I made down the river on a raft and the adventures I had on the way.

It all started when my best friend, Tom Sawyer and I found $12,000 in a cave. That money made us rich. We got $6,000 each. Judge Thatcher, an important man in St. Petersburg, put it in the bank, and now we get a dollar a day interest(利息).

Then a kind old lady called Widow Douglas invited me to live with her. Because I haven't got a family or a home. My mother died a long time ago, then my dad, Pap, went away. He was an unkind man especially when he drank a lot, which was, most of the time, and he often beat me. I was afraid of him. I didn't go to school like the other boys of my age. I lived on the streets and in the woods.

My life changed after I lived with the widow(寡妇). She gave me a bed to sleep in and bought new clothes for me. She read stories to me and taught me how to eat at a table.

But then her sister Miss Watson arrived. She brought her black slave Jim with her. I liked Jim but I didn't like Miss Watson very much. She often shouted at me.

"Don't put your feet on the table. Huckleberry! Sit up straight! Why don't you try and behave well, Huckleberry?"
