Tom Sawyer was an orphan. He lived with his aunt Polly and his cousins too. He loved to skip school to go fishing.

If Tom was late to school, what usually happened, he already knew that he would probably receive a punishment. One Monday he looked at a new girl called Becky Thatcher. He felt immediately in love. Everything seemed to go well until Becky got irritated when he mentioned the name of his ex-girlfriend, Amy Lawrence.

That night Tom and his friend, Huckleberry Finn , ran away from home. They went to the cemetery and there they discovered things they had never imagined.
