“But why?” asked Tom.“He cu ts bodies and stud ies them . My fa the r told me abou t Dr

Potter s ta rted digging. 1 Soon the grave was open. They found the dead body and pulled it out of the ground.

“Well, doctor, do you w an t us to take the body to your house?" said Muff. "You m ust give us five dollars.”

“W hat!” said D r Robinson angrily. “I paid you this morning. I'm not giving you more money!”

“I w an t m ore money, D oc to r ,” said In jun Joe. “Five years ago I came to your fa th e r ’s house. I asked you for som eth ing to eat. You gave me nothing. I still rem em ber that. Now you m ust give me more money.”

Injun Joe took the doc to r’s arm and the doctor hit him. In jun Joe fell to the ground.

“D on’t hit my friend!” cried M uff Potter. M uff and Dr Robinson started fighting.

Everything happened very quickly. D r Robinson hit M uff Potter on the head. M uff fell to the ground. In jun Joe took M u f f ’s knife. He saw M uff on the ground and he killed D r Robinson with the knife. The doctor fell on top of M uff and covered him with blood. 2

Injun Joe looked at the two m en on the ground. First he robbed the dead doctor. T h en he p u t the bloody knife into M u f f ’s right hand.

A few m inutes passed and M uff moved a little and opened his eyes. He p ush ed the d o c to r ’s body away. H e looked at the knife in hishand.

“OK!” said Joe. “But w here can we go and w hat can we do?”“L et’s run away! We can go and live on Jackson’s Island. We can be

pirates. A p ira te ’s life is exciting,” said Tom.Jackson’s Island was a small island in the Mississippi River. It was

abou t th ree miles south of St Petersburg. No one lived on the island.“Huckleberry F inn can com e with us too ,” said Tom. “Remember,

Joe, d o n ’t tell your mother, fa ther or anyone abou t our adventure. Go hom e and bring some food. W e’ll m eet here at m idnight.” Tom and Joe were excited.

At m idnight the th ree boys m et on the river. Tom brought some m eat to eat. Joe b rought some bread and H u ck b rought a frying pan. 1

They found a small raft and they w en t down the river to Jackson’s Island. W h e n they arrived on the island they m ade a fire and cooked some meat.

“This is fun!” said Joe.“We re free and we can do everything we w ant!” said Tom.“W h a t do pirates do?” asked Huck.“They go on ships and take the money. T hen they go to an island

Life on the Mississippi RiverISCi Many of M ark T wain ’s novels and shor t s tor ies take p lace on the

Mississippi River. When Mark Twain was a hoy he lived on the river and had many adventures there.This great river is born in Lake Itasca, in Minnesota, and goes down to the Gulf of Mexico. It is around 2,300 miles 1 long. The Mississippi has many branches 2 in 25 states of the United States: the Tennessee River, the Ohio River, the Wabash River, the Illinois River, the Missouri River, the Yellowstone River, the Platte River, the Arkansas River and the Red River. The name Mississippi comes from Indian words “Misi" and “Sipi" — big water.Many American Indian tribes lived on the Mississippi River: the Fox, Winnebago, Ojibwa, Sac, Choctaw, Chickasaw, Natchez and Yazoo.

traveled on the big river in their canoes 1 for centuries until the middle of the n ineteenth century. Hernando de Soto, a Spanish explorer of the 1500s, was the first white man to see and explore 2 the Mississippi. The French were the first white people to live on the river. They founded 3 the city of New Orleans in the early 18th century. Today New Orleans is an important city on the Gulf of Mexico.American explorers traveled on the Mississippi River and its branches to explore new lands. In 1803 the American President, Thomas Jefferson, bought Louisiana from France for $15 million. He asked Meriwether Lewis and William Clark to explore this immense territory. The Lewis and Clark Expedition began in May 1804 and ended in September 1806.

They traveled about 8,000 miles from Missouri to the Pacific Ocean. It was very successful. Lewis and Clark brought back many maps and a lot of information about the north-western part of America.After the Lewis and Clark Expedition many people went to live on the

land near the river. Towns and cities were born on the Mississippi River and its branches. Towns and cities such as New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Memphis, St Louis, Minneapolis and St Paul, were busy places and some became important commercial and financial centers.In the early 1800s the s team boa t became very popular . Every day hundreds of steamboats traveled on the great river, carrying people and cargo.1Today millions of Americans live on the river. Steamboats still travel on the Mississippi, and there are also special steamboats for tourists.
