waltz that palace around over the country wherever you want it, you
understand." ssssssssss
"Well," says I, "I think they are a pack of flatheads for not keeping
the palace themselves 'stead of fooling them away like that. And what's
more -- if I was one of them I would see a man in Jericho before I would
drop my business and come ssssssssss
to him for the rubbing of an ssssssssss
old tin lamp." ssssssssss
"How you talk, Huck
Finn. Why, you'd have to ssssssssss
come when he rubbed it, ssssssssss
whether you wanted to or ssssssssss
not."
"What, and I as high as
a tree and as big as a ssssssssss
church? All right, then; I ssssssssss
would come; but I lay I'd ssssssssss
make that man climb the ssssssssss
highest tree there was in the ssssssssss
country." ssssssssss
"Shucks, it ain't no use
to talk to you, Huck Finn. ssssssssss
You don't seem to know ssssssssss
anything, somehow -- perfect ssssssssss
sap-head." ssssssssss
I thought all this over for two or three days, and then I reckoned I
would see if there was anything in it. I got an old tin lamp and an iron
ring and went out in the woods and rubbed and rubbed till I sweat like
an Injun, calculating to build a palace and sell it; but it warn't no use,
none of the genies come. So then I judged that all that stuff was only
just one of Tom Sawyer's lies. I reckoned he believed in the A-rabs and the
elephants, but as for me I think different. It had all the marks of a
Sunday school. ssssssssss
