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 sssssssssslittle picture

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
