Jim, look.

Hey, looks like a

wrecked house boat.

Looks like she hasn't

been aground too long.

You know, Huck,

we just may be in luck.

JIM:
I'll see

what we can find.

(LAUGHS)

Oh, we gonna

feast fancy tonight.

Pap!

Find anything?

There ain't nothin'

in there, but a dead man.

It ain't nothin' but

a house of death.

Let's get out of here.

Goshen should be over there.

Huck, we're lost.

Well, let's head for

that cove over there.

I'll find out where we are.

(KNOCK AT DOOR)

MRS. LOFTUS:
Who is it?

HUCKLEBERRY:

(IN HIGH-PITCHED VOICE)

Just me, ma'am.

Well, "who's just me?"

Sara Williams, ma'am.

Well, whereabouts you live?

In this neighborhood?

In Bookerville.

I've walked all the way

and I'm all tired out.

Hungry, too, I reckon.

I'll fetch you

something to eat.

Come in. Take a chair.

Thank you, ma'am,

but I ain't hungry.

You see, my mother's

down sick and out of

money and everything.

And, well, I come

to visit my uncle

and, well, I never been

here in Goshen before.

Goshen? This ain't Goshen,

child, this is St. Petersburg.

St. Petersburg?

Goshen's 30 miles

up the river.

Who told you

this was Goshen?

Why, a man I met

this mornin'.

Well, he was drunk,

I reckon.

And, you poor thing,

walkin' around with a

murderin' runaway slave

hidin' out in these parts.

A murderin' slave?

Killed a lad named Huck Finn.

Near Hannibal.

It's an $800

reward on his head.

What did you say

your name was, honey?

Mary Williams.

I thought you said it was Sara

when you first come in.

Uh, yes, ma'am, I did.

It's Sara Mary Williams.

Oh, that's the

way it is, is it?

Yes, ma'am.

Maybe you'll find a

bigger needle in there.

What your real name?

Is it Tom, Dick, Bob?

What is it?

Please don't poke fun

at a poor girl like me.

If I'm in your way I'll...

Just sit right down there.

You're a runaway

apprentice, ain't you?

Well, ma'am...

Yes, ma'am.

I won't tell on you,

don't worry.

Now tell me all about it.

My mother and father's dead

and the law, well, they

bound me out to this mean

old farmer in the country.

And so I stole some of

his daughter's old

clothes and cleared out.

When a cow's laying

down, which end

of her gets up first?

Hind end, ma'am.

Well, then a horse?

Forward end, ma'am.

If 15 cows is browsing

on a hillside,

how many of them eats facing

in the same direction?

Well, the whole 15, ma'am.

Well, I reckon you have

lived in the country.

I thought you was trying

to hocus me again.

No, ma'am.

Tell me what's

your real name?

George Peters, ma'am.

Well, try to
