The Adventures of Mark Twain Page #3

No doubt

the Almighty has said here:

''Here goes those

two unaccountable freaks.

They came in together,

they must go out together.''

Here, set your eyes

on this celestial schooner.

Now ain't that

a heartwarming spectacle.

lt's beauti--

Well, Tom and Huck and l,

well, see, we're not so sure--

That l know what l'm doing up here?

Angelfish,

it's just like piloting a river.

You get to know the shape of it.

Like following a hall

at home in the dark.

And even if you feel some fear,

you know no harm can come to you...

...because you've traveled

that hallway a hundred times...

...in nothing but bare feet and faith.

What are we gonna do?

You know your ownself...

...we gotta find a way off

of this here balloon, Tom Sawyer.

Adventure or no.

Okay now, Homer, over here.

Now over there.

Well?

l got a plan

just starting to brew.

Well, what is it?

First, we gotta get Becky off.

She talks too much.

Can't keep a secret.

So me and Huck was thinking...

...we should set her down

and let Becky off.

Things are liable to get pretty rough.

There is nothing comparable

to the endurance of a woman.

But this is different, Mr. Twain.

We're aeronorts,

and girls don't belong--

That's ''aeronauts.''

She would have to horn in

on this expedition.

-To the main deck.

-There's that thing again.

Come on, let's go investigating.

-Tom, where you going?

-This thing's really amazing.

Gives me the creeps.

''Table of Contents.''

Welcome to the works of Mark Twain.

This is the Indexovator.

Choose your story

and proceed to the correct door.

Let's have a look around.

Okay, now, l gotta know about this

secret plan if we're gonna be partners.

Okay.

We're gonna watch and learn...

...just the most we can

about flying this here balloon--

-Welcome to lnjun Joe.

-Look!

That was close. l don't ever

wanna meet that guy again.

He was scary.

Well, what then?

What you said.

After we learn the most we can

about this here balloon...?

Welcome to

the library-billiard room.

Have you ever seen

a place like this, Huck?

Tom, where you going?

Listen here, Tom. l want--

-Look at all this. What a contraption.

-Tom, l gotta know about the plan.

Guess those must be the classics

everybody's always talking about.

What's a classic?

Something everybody wants

to have read...

...but nobody wants to read.

-Library-billiard room.

-Oh, here you are.

-Doggone it.

-What you guys doing?

-Oh, what does this thing do?

-Go ahead, give it a try.

That's my monument

to Adam and Eve.

There she goes again.

Thanks.

-They're naked.

-So are we all the day we're born.

But we learn to be modest.

Not all over.

Just in places.

But it 's just as well,
