The Adventures of Tom Sawyer
The Adventures of Tom Sawyer
The next day Tom and Huck walked back to the haunted house.
Inside was a dirt floor with weeds growing everywhere. The fireplace was crumbling. And cobwebs hung from the ceiling like curtains!
The boys climbed a rickety staircase to look upstairs. They peeked in a closet in the corner. But nothing was in it. As they turned to go back downstairs, Tom heard a noise.
The boys lay on the floor and peered through a knothole. Two men were entering the house!
