01:40Now, usually, being around Huck meant having fun and adventure.
01:44But here lately, Huck just ain't been in the mood for having neither one.
01:49Thanks for the ride, Luke.
01:51Don't mention it, Tom. My best to your Aunt Polly.
01:55I got a real bad feeling low down in my belly, Tom.
01:58There's nothing for you to worry about, Huck. Your Pa's gone.
02:01I don't know. I'm afeard he's still around somewhere and is gonna pop up unexpected.
02:06No one's seen him, so I'd be pretty certain he's long gone.
02:09I just know he's coming back for me, and I tell you, I don't wanna go and live with him.
02:19When he does come back, I aim to be long gone. I'm getting on that river and going far away
02:24from here.
02:25And you know how I'm gonna get there?
02:26How's that?
02:27On a steamboat.
02:29But you ain't got no money.
02:30Maybe I could be a cabin boy.
02:32Why not, Captain? They have lots of money and smoke cigars.
02:35Maybe you could go over to Memphis. Or even sail down to New Orleans.
02:39Bet I could get rich in New Orleans.
02:42Sure. I bet you could.
02:43Get settled, then.
02:44You know something, Huck? When you leave here, it sure is gonna be mighty lonely without you.
02:49Well, I'll miss you, too. You can bet your boots on it.
02:52But I just have to get away from this town.
02:56Why don't we go gigging?
02:57For frogs? Not now.
03:01Hmm.
03:03Well, you wouldn't catch none no ways with your mind on leaving.
03:08Poor Huck.
03:09It was bad enough him having the kind of life he had.
03:12Living all by himself with no one to care after him.
03:15But he did have his tree house, the river, and me.
03:18And now the fear of his pa was gonna make him leave even those things behind.
03:31Uh-oh.
03:36Uh-oh.
03:36Uh-oh.
03:43It's you, Huck.
03:48Hey!
03:49Hey!
03:49What in the world's the matter with you, Huck?
03:51Come on back here.
03:53Hmm?
03:55Scared you, huh, young feller?
03:57Why, it's Muff Potter.
03:58That's right. It's me, all right.
04:02I've been a-waiting for you, Huck.
04:04Jingo, I thought you was my pa.
04:05Well, now I have seen him.
04:07Matter of fact, I got a message from him.
04:09What kind of message?
04:11Well, he was awful drunk when I seen him, so it was kinda mixed up.
04:14But you know your pa.
04:15He'll wrestle with a crocodile if he's a mind to do it.
04:18He sure would.
04:19Course, I knowed you was here all the time.
04:21But your pa seemed so ornery, I wasn't about to tell him anything.
04:24Huh?
04:24But he's on his way here now.
04:27I don't reckon he's too far behind me.
04:30You think he's coming up this way?
04:32That's what I was telling you.
04:33You've been hiding out with Tom, ain't you?
04:35Never you mind about that, Muff.
04:37Well, I've been waiting here for you for two days.
04:42Tell me what he said.
04:44Exactly.
04:45Well, he says real mean-like.
04:47He says, if you see Huck, you tell Mr. Hidebody that I'm coming for him,
04:51wherever he might be, and I'm taking him with me.
04:54Oh, no.
04:55That's exactly what he said.
04:56Aw.
04:57What's he up to now, Muff?
04:59Why is he so powerful, anxious to take me away with him?
05:02Don't know.
05:02He didn't say.
05:03Appreciate you telling me.
05:04Well, I ain't much account, but I always remember a friend,
05:07and the fact is you and Tom have always been good to me.
05:11I'll never forget that you two were always there when old Muff needed you.
05:16Well, enough said.
05:18I reckon I'll mosey along now.
05:20Don't run off, Muff.
05:20Sit and talk a little.
05:22Well, I'll thank you kindly, Huck, but I'm feeling the need of a drink right now.
05:26Careful on that ladder.
05:28Oh, don't worry about me.
05:41Oh, don't worry.
05:45Aunt Polly, how'd the meeting go today?
05:47Well, we all agreed that it was terribly important.
05:50For Huck to be raised in a proper home,
05:52it's certain that no-account father of his isn't fit to raise him.
05:55Did anyone offer to give him a home right now?
05:58Well, no one stood up right then and there to say they wanted to take him in.
06:02Well, that doesn't surprise me.
06:04It's common sense.
06:05This isn't the kind of thing you do harem-scarrem.
06:07Huck needs a home now.
06:09All they do is have meetings and talk about it,
06:11but nobody ever decides to do anything about it.
06:14If Huck has a proper home now, his father won't be able to take him.
06:17Now, don't get your feathers all ruffled.
06:19There's a mighty lot to think about.
06:21As much as we want to help, we certainly can't take him in.
06:24We've got hardly enough room now.
06:26I don't see that one more would make that much difference.
06:30Are you saying we should bring Huck here and have him live with us?
06:34I wouldn't mind.
06:36Well, Tom, what about it?
06:38I think it'd be a lot of fun to have Huck live here,
06:40and I'd be glad to have him.
06:42But I don't know if he would.
06:44Why, I wager he'll find no better place than the whole village to live in.
06:47Mm-hmm.
06:48But you know, Huck, remember when Becky's aunt wanted to take him in?
06:52He said, no siree, not me.
06:54He don't want to be slicked up or be washed and combed all to thunder,
06:57and his clothes don't get no air through him.
06:59Besides, he'd have to go to church on Sunday.
07:01Can't even cuss or smoke corn silk.
07:03Well, I never.
07:04It's only fitting that a boy should learn good manners.
07:08Well, we better think of a solution soon before his dad comes back for him.
07:13You know, I bet the Witter Douglas would take him in right now.
07:16You mean because she has no children of her own.
07:18Yeah, and she's rich and kind of lonely, and she always has ice cream.
07:23Wow, that's truly a sweet, unselfish thought.
07:25It would be a great blessing to both of them.
07:27Boy, I'd live with her.
07:29Why, Tom, I thought you were happy with us, aren't you?
07:33Uh, well, I mean, I already have the best home in St. Pete.
07:37And sides, I don't much care for ice cream in the wintertime anyway.
07:41And even if I did, I wouldn't want...
07:43Never mind.
07:46Not right sure about that, Tom.
07:48I'll bet the Witter would be nice.
07:49She's piled a lot of money away with nobody to inherit it.
07:53Yeah, only I'd have to wash and go to school.
07:55Aw, that ain't so bad.
07:57And that ain't the half of it. I'd have to go hear them church sermons.
08:00Well, I gotta go to them.
08:01I'd have to talk so nice it'd hardly be tolerable.
08:04You could always...
08:05I don't know, Tom. I reckon having a pile of dollars ain't all it's cracked up to be.
08:09Says who?
08:10I reckon I wouldn't be against trying it once just to see what it feels like to be rich.
08:15Besides, she'd likely ask me to call her Ma, and that ain't natural.
08:19I couldn't call nobody but my real Ma that.
08:22It could be that you're just worrying about nothing, Huck. What if your Pa forgets you?
08:26You don't know him very well, Tom. When he gets his mind set on something, he just ain't the type
08:31who's gonna give up on it.
08:32Hmm. I reckon.
08:35I've been thinking a lot about my folks here lately. I reckon Pa's pretty lonely, too.
08:40I wish I could recollect my Ma. I try, but I just can't. How much do you remember about yours?
08:46You make her sound awful nice. Was she pretty, too?
08:48I can see her face in my dreams, but when I wake up, it just don't come back to mine.
08:53Uh-huh. My mama told me in a dream once to stop being mischievous and to try to be nicer
08:58to Aunt Polly.
08:59I almost forgot. Today's the anniversary of my mama's demise. I ought to do something real special to show her
09:06that I still remember her.
09:08What?
09:09I've already started working on a special gift.
09:16What you need a candlestick for? I ain't never seen a muse except at church.
09:21Well, when I was little, my mama lit a candle every Sunday, and she even learned me how to say
09:26a prayer.
09:27You know, Huck, I never figured you for a praying kind of fella.
09:30Why, sure, Tom. I pray all the time, inside. But I think you gotta have one of them genuine candlesticks
09:36if you want it to work right.
09:38I tried to carve one, but it don't look too good.
09:42The church has some. Why didn't you swipe one of them?
09:44Well, I thought about that, but somehow it don't seem the right thing to do. You know, steal from a
09:49church.
09:50Well, how do you figure you're gonna get hold of one, then?
09:52I'm gonna pray for it like my mama taught me to do, and if I pray hard enough, it's just
09:57possible I might get what I'm asking for.
09:59They tell me that's how it works, if you do it right.
10:03I'm gonna do a little praying beforehand just for practice, and if that looks like it's working,
10:07then I'll be able to get it just right when I go about doing it for real.
10:11Let me show you what I've been carving, Tom. You can tell me the truth about it. You ain't gonna
10:15hurt my feelings none.
10:18Huck, I was thinking, why couldn't you just borrow the candlesticks without telling anyone about it?
10:23I don't know. Pa says borrow one is just a soft word for stealing.
10:29Well, here it is. What do you think?
10:34Hmm. Huh? Oh no, they burned. Shucks.
10:40Well now. Huck, I don't wanna be too critical, but this really isn't very impressive.
10:47I ain't the world's best whittler, I reckon.
10:49You know what? My Aunt Polly has genuine silver candlesticks.
10:53Yeah? She won't part with one, though.
10:54Oh yes, she will. I'll see to that, Huck. You can count on it.
10:59Honest, you think she will, Tom?
11:01I think she'd be real happy to donate to such a worthy cause as this one.
11:14Maybe this ain't gonna be as easy as I figured.
11:16Aunt Polly's awful proud of her silver stuff.
11:19Maybe I could ask her right out.
11:20Aunt Polly, could I borrow one of your candlesticks?
11:22Huck wants to say a prayer for his mama.
11:25No, she ain't gonna believe that.
11:28I gotta think of something else.
11:33I promised Huck I'd help him, and a friend don't go back on a promise.
11:41Aunt Polly's so powerful proud of the china and silver her mama gave her,
11:45she hardly ever takes her eyes off him.
11:48Getting hold of one of them candlesticks is gonna be harder than snatching a bone from a yard dog.
11:55Hey, I got it.
12:08Good morning, Jim, Sid. I got a problem. Big one. You could help too, Mary.
12:15Huh?
12:15It's concerning a promise I made to Huckleberry Finn.
12:18What is it?
12:19You might say it's almost a matter of life and death.
12:22It's like this. I'm gonna need your help.
12:24And this is about the biggest thing I'll ever ask you to do for me.
12:27What's the matter? Has something happened to Huckleberry?
12:30He needs our help.
12:31Now let me tell you what's happening.
12:34When you hear the story, I know you'll understand.
12:36One, two, three, four, five, six, seven.
12:41Aunt Polly?
12:42What, Tom?
12:43Can I help you out with the counting?
12:45Land sakes, where you been hiding, Tom?
12:47One, where were you when I was polishing it?
12:50Two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve.
13:00Well, good. They're all still there.
13:02Can I double check it for you?
13:03Thank you, Tom. But this is a job I prefer to do myself.
13:07I'm good at counting.
13:08Well, thank you all the same.
13:10But these precious treasures were my mother's and her mother's before her,
13:13and every spring it gives me a confident feeling just to take them all out
13:17and give them a real good polishing.
13:19Well...
13:19Land alive, if anything ever happened to a single one of these,
13:23I think I'd go to my grave weeping.
13:24Hmm.
13:25Oh, no. Do you see what I see?
13:28Yeah. It looks like there's a crack in it.
13:31Huh?
13:31See there?
13:33Where?
13:34Look real close.
13:36Well, these old eyes of mine don't see a thing.
13:40I think it must be your imagination.
13:42My mistake.
13:43You better not touch another thing or I'll put a crack or two on your head, Thomas.
13:47How many spoons you got there, Aunt Polly?
13:49There's twelve.
13:52One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven.
13:56There's only eleven.
13:58Stop trying to confuse my mind, Tom.
14:00There were exactly twelve the last time I counted them.
14:03Better count them again.
14:04All right.
14:05One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven.
14:10Eleven?
14:11It's not possible.
14:13How can that be, I wonder?
14:14Is it with the knives?
14:16No, I know it isn't with the knives.
14:18No, I know it isn't with the knives.
14:20Maybe it fell on the floor.
14:25Find it?
14:26It's not down here.
14:27It could be you just miscounted them.
14:30Hmm?
14:30But you just counted them yourself.
14:32Maybe I could have counted them wrong last time myself.
14:36I'll count them one more time.
14:38You watch.
14:40One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven.
14:44Huh?
14:46There's twelve.
14:47Huh?
14:47That's mighty queer.
14:48I know I counted eleven before.
14:50Yes, well, there's exactly twelve here now.
14:53Well, now, don't that just beat all.
14:56Tom, I want my walnut.
14:59I ain't got your old walnut.
15:01There were exactly thirty walnuts there when I counted last night,
15:04and now there are only twenty-nine left.
15:06Well, why didn't you learn to count better?
15:08Well, I'll bet I can count a whole lot better than you can anytime, anywhere.
15:13Aunt Polly, please make him give me my walnut back.
15:15Shut up, Sid.
15:17Now, why don't you go count them again, Sid?
15:19It's possible you could have made a mistake.
15:21There have been a lot of counting mistakes around here today.
15:23I couldn't possibly make a mistake about it.
15:26Go count them again before you start accusing me.
15:29Okay.
15:33Looky there, Aunt Polly.
15:35Unless I'm very much mistaken, there's another spoon missing.
15:37Huh?
15:38Oh, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
15:44Huh?
15:46Oh, my gracious.
15:48Better count them again.
15:48You know you made a mistake last time.
15:50Oh, my.
15:51One, two...
15:54Mother!
15:55Mother, I think we're missing something.
15:57Again.
15:58One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven.
16:07Oh, my!
16:08It's the same as it was the last...
16:10Oh, Mary, what is it you want?
16:12A bed sheet is missing.
16:13What is it you're saying?
16:15Mary, I hope there isn't something else missing.
16:17A sheet's gone, Mama.
16:19Oh, my.
16:20Well, go and count them again.
16:23It's got to be around here someplace.
16:26Now, let me see.
16:34Me and Aunt Polly have counted and counted,
16:36and there's still one missing.
16:37Why don't you try, Mary?
16:39How many are there?
16:40There's supposed to be twelve, and there's only eleven.
16:43Four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
16:47Eleven, twelve.
16:48They're all here.
16:50My lands.
16:51One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
16:57Lord, has the heat gone to my head?
16:59I'll try counting the sheets over again, Mother.
17:02Maybe I made a mistake.
17:04Uh, you got twelve forks?
17:07Well, I hope so.
17:08One, two, three, four, five, six, seven...
17:11Well, do you think it's working?
17:13Tom's got her pretty well mixed up about now.
17:15The rest is gonna be up to me.
17:19Good luck.
17:20By Jingo, there's only eleven of them now.
17:23Oh, my, oh, my.
17:25One, two, three, four...
17:27I'm sure sorry, Tom. I found the other walnut.
17:29There were thirty.
17:30I knew it. I told you you didn't count them right.
17:33Upon my word, there's still only eleven forks here.
17:37It's awful easy to make mistakes when you count, Aunt Polly.
17:40I count twelve forks.
17:42My, not again.
17:43Sid, I swear there was only eleven of them a minute ago when Aunt Polly counted them.
17:47One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve.
17:49How can it be?
17:50Well, ain't that something?
17:52Do you think maybe we ought to count the plates now, Aunt Polly?
17:54Oh, my Lord of mercy. I'm losing my senses.
17:59Hmm.
18:00I'll tell you what. Maybe Sid and me ought to count them for you.
18:03Oh, just maybe.
18:05No, you won't. I've had just about enough.
18:08The fact of the matter is I simply will not do any more counting today.
18:12They're all there, Mother. You're right. I counted every single one of them.
18:16Don't make any difference now, Mary.
18:18Huh?
18:18Aunt Polly says she ain't of a mind to do any more counting.
18:20Maybe somebody's put a dark spell on us so we'll never be able to keep track of anything anymore.
18:25Spell? That's rubbish, Mary. I told you it's the heat.
18:30Excuse me.
18:31Huh? What is it?
18:34Uh, something powerful strange is happening with the chickens.
18:37Jim? What kind of strange?
18:39Well, first I see seven brown and five white, then they change around and it's six white and five brown.
18:45Jim, how did you count them?
18:47First the brown and then the white.
18:49Mm-hmm. That'll be the day when chickens change their colors.
18:53Well, come see for yourself.
18:55I guess I'll just have to. Gracious, will I ever see the sun go down on this day?
19:01Forks and spoons that come and go, sheets that won't stay counting, chickens that change colors.
19:06I don't know what's come over us all.
19:08I guess I'll spend the rest of the day counting chickens.
19:16Here, take it.
19:17Tom, get it back quick as you can.
19:19I hope this hasn't been too upsetting for Mother.
19:22I should have told her what it's for.
19:24She would have let me have the candlestick if I had a bet.
19:27Or a crack with a thimble.
19:29Take it and go before she comes back in here.
19:43You know, I've been thinking.
19:45About what?
19:46About this idea of Tom's about fooling Mother.
19:49Hard to say no when he wants to do something.
19:51I almost did that, but now I've got to say I'm kind of glad I didn't.
19:56Like Mr. William Shakespeare said, all's well that ends well.
20:00One wide, two, oh.
20:03Two wide, one brow.
20:07Oh, just be still now.
20:10I was hoping and praying Aunt Polly wouldn't do any more counting for a few days.
20:14If she did, it might not go well for any of us.
20:17Especially me.
20:20We'd better hurry and get these put away.
20:23I think I hear Mother coming.
20:37Oh, dear me.
20:39I don't know what's happening.
20:43Has he gone crazy?
20:44We've all had trouble counting, so whatever it is that's happening to Jim is happening to all of us.
20:49Heavens.
20:51I'm beginning to believe there's a spell.
20:56What?
20:56Oh, Mary.
20:58How many times have I told you you must keep the cupboards closed?
21:02Huh?
21:03Wait a minute.
21:07Are my eyes failing me?
21:09What?
21:11It can't be.
21:13Huh?
21:14Let's see now.
21:16Hmm, ah, hmm, ah, ah, ah, hmm.
21:20Seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven of them!
21:25Oh, no!
21:27Oh, I don't care what I saw, or think I saw, there's 12 and I don't want to hear another
21:34word about it.
21:35Uh, Mother, I don't think we ought to do any more counting today, huh?
21:43Yes, you're right. Where's Tom? That boy's never around when you need him.
21:49Huck! Hey, Huck!
21:59I brung it like I promised.
22:01Hmm? Oh, Tom, this here's genuine silver, no doubt about it.
22:07It's right kind of your Aunt Polly to let me have the borrow of it.
22:10Mm-hmm. She sure is generous when she has a mind to be.
22:13Boy, I'll say. Hmm.
22:22Uh, say, Huck.
22:24What's on your mind?
22:26I wonder if while you're praying for your mama, you might squeeze another prayer in, just another word or two,
22:31for some poor souls down here who might be needing it.
22:34Who did you have in mind, Tom?
22:37I was thinking about Sid and Mary and Jim, and me most especially the latter.
22:42Hmm. Can't see any harm in it.
22:48And please make aggrist like me in school and take care of the chickens and all the animals in the
22:53woods and the catfish in the river. Amen.
23:01Do you think Huck's praying about now for his mama?
23:04Probably.
23:05I'm hungry, Sid.
23:06Bring out some of them walnuts, will you?
23:08Huh? What walnuts are those, Tom?
23:11Don't be aggravating.
23:12You know what walnuts, the ones you said I stole.
23:15But I just made it all up.
23:17I'm asking you nice. Where are they, Sid?
23:19I'm telling you nice. I don't have any.
23:21I mean it. This is your last chance. Where are they?
23:24Ow, Tom. I tell you, I haven't got any.
23:28All right. I'm asking you for the last time, Sid.
23:31If you don't crack out those walnuts, you'll be sorry.
23:33You hear, uh, uh.
23:38And while I'm at it, Lord, I have just one more thing.
23:42It concerns my friend, Tom.
23:44He'd like you to say hello to his mama for him, too.
