Features: Finally getting used to the uninspired life arranged by Mrs. Douglas, he accidentally becomes his father's little "prisoner." Fortunately, sometimes the heavens are kind, and a drifting boat becomes his escape tool. Being alone is so lonely, luckily, he meets the escaped slave Jim on Jackson Island. The days of "fleeing" together are not lonely at all. He encounters two super big con artists, watches them perform a ridiculous farce, and sees them pretend to be the late millionaire's own brothers to seize his property. What's hateful is that they even sold the slave Jim. Maybe it's no coincidence, the man who bought Jim is actually the aunt of his good friend Tom. So he and the arriving Tom stage a play, fool the aunt, and rescue Jim. The next day, he sees Jim tied up with ropes in the living room again, which makes Huck anxious, but Tom seems to be completely indifferent.
