Read the excerpt from The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain then answer the question: "Then I jumped in the canoe and dug out for our place, a mile and a half below, as hard as I could go. I landed, and
slopped through the timber and up the ridge and into the cavern. There Jim laid, sound asleep on the ground. I roused
