Huckleberry Finn Page #3

Here drink this.

Oh, I gave you up for dead

almost two days ago.

What happened, Jim?

Snakebite.

Only thing to do is

cut a hex, suck out

the poison and pray.

What's this?

That's a hex.

Now I ain't superstitious

or nothing,

but with a friend's life,

you don't wanna take

too many chances.

Gosh, Jim, thanks

for saving my life.

Well, don't thank me,

you best thank that hex.

(BOTH LAUGH)

They been comin' past

this island, every day,

shooting off them cannons,

tryin' to raise your body.

I heard 'em talkin'

from the boats, Huck.

You supposed

to be murdered.

Well, you see, I had

to get away from Pap,

so I broke out and I

killed me this wild pig,

then I bloodied up

the place real smart.

(GIGGLES)

Boy, they tell me it

real bad luck makin'

out like you're dead.

How'd you come

to get here, Jim?

I ran away, Huck.

You ran away?

Well, now you know and now

they your troubles, too.

So I figured I die showin'

nothin' they sell me

down in New Orleans

to them slave traders.

So I come here and I'm

just about finished building

me this raft with a

wigwam on it,

and nice dry sand

on the floor.

Well, anywhere

you land, they gonna

pick you up for runaway.

Don't you know that?

Not if I make it to the

free states, they ain't.
