Well, Judge Thatcher he took it and put it out at interest, and it fetched us a dollar a day apiece all the year round-more than a body could tell what to do with. It was an awful sight of money when it was piled up. We got six thousand dollars apiece-all gold. Now the way that the book winds up is this: Tom and me found the money that the robbers hid in the cave, and it made us rich. Aunt Polly-Tom’s Aunt Polly, she is-and Mary, and the Widow Douglas is all told about in that book, which is mostly a true book, with some stretchers, as I said before. I never seen anybody but lied one time or another, without it was Aunt Polly, or the widow, or maybe Mary. There was things which he stretched, but mainly he told the truth. Mark Twain, and he told the truth, mainly. YOU don’t know about me without you have read a book by the name of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer but that ain’t no matter.
Set in a Southern antebellum society that had ceased to exist about twenty years before the work was published, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is an often scathing satire on entrenched attitudes, particularly racism. Wiki notes: It is a colourful description of people and places along the Mississippi River. A classic tale of a young boy, written by a legendary writer.
Mark Twain writes: Persons attempting to find a narrative will be prosecuted persons attempting to find a moral will be banished persons attempting to find a plot will be shot.
