American novelist Mark Twain wrote his novel The Adventures of Tom Sawyer for an adult audience, but the main fans of the book were children. And this is not surprising, because the book is simply full of adventures, which every child dreams of.
Tom from St. Petersburg
In the middle of the 18th century, in the small town of St. Petersburg, Missouri, the boy Tom lives in the house of his aunt Polly. The unruly tomboy escapes from school to swim in the Mississippi, for which he will be punished by work on the weekend.
Painting a fence when scoffing buddies are walking around is a very unpleasant activity for a proud boy of twelve. The cunning Tom pretends to be happy and completely happy with his pastime. Now his friends envy him and ask him to give up this wonderful work in exchange for treasures.
The enterprising boy not only got rid of punishment, but also became the owner of 12 alabaster balls, a cannon from a coil, a collar for a dog, a fragment of blue glass and many other items of great value for children.
Love, piracy and funeral
The blue-eyed daughter of the district judge, Becky Techer, conquered the heart of young Mr. Sawyer so much that he accepts her guilt for a torn book and courageously suffers the bashing from the teacher. The whirlpool of passions, quarrel, jealousy and now Tom is running away from home. With two friends, the boy decides to organize a gang of pirates.
The boys live on the island, swim freely, go fishing and even learn to smoke. After a terrible thunderstorm, the children really want to return home, but then they find out that they were considered drowned and a memorial service will be held on Sunday. Not understanding the cruelty of their behavior, they decide to make an appointment for their own funeral straight.
The bloody tragedy in the cemetery
Tom goes to the cemetery at midnight with a homeless Huckleberry Finn in order to get rid of warts with the help of a dead cat and devils. There they witness a fight between a young doctor, Meff Potter and an Indian Joe.
While Meff lies unconscious, the Indian kills the doctor with his knife. Then Joe convinces the impotent Potter that he killed the doctor. The boys swear to each other to be silent about the events of this night, because the Indian is known for his revenge.
Meanwhile, Potter is being arrested, he faces the death penalty, because his knife was found in the cemetery. Joe testifies against his assistant. Tom and Huck visit Potter in prison, they are very ashamed and scared. During the trial, Tom does not stand injustice and tells the truth.
The Native American, running away jumping out the window, Potter is acquitted, and Tom becomes a hero. Newspapers write about him, but he cannot sleep peacefully, fearing reprisal from Joe.
Treasure and courage
Thrilled with the idea of finding a treasure, inseparable friends are heading to an abandoned house. While the boys are examining the attic, some treacher and Indian Joe find down the treasure. The criminal returned to the city pretending to be a deaf-mute Spaniard to take revenge on the widow of his old enemy.
Huck overhears Joe's terrible plans and manages to raise the alarm. Rescued Mrs. Douglas adopts the boy out of gratitude.
