Tom rested for three whole days，while
Becky stayed in bed for a whole week. Tom found out about Huck＇s sickness s as bd went to see him on Friday. Widow Douglas told him not to tell Huckleberry about his adventure in the cave，because he was too weak to be excited.
At home，Tom learned of the Cardiff Hillincident.He also learned that the
unkempt man＇s body had eventually been found in the river near the ferry landing.It was speculated that he had drowned while trying to escape.
About two weeks after Tom＇s rescue from the cave，he started off to visit Huck.
Huck had grown strong enough，now to hear exciting talk. Judge Thatcher＇s house was on Tom＇s way and so he stopped to see Becky.The Judge invited him in. He was with some friends，and one of them ironically asked Tom if he wouldn＇t like to go to the cave again.Tom said he thought it might be fun.“well，there are others just like you，Tom，”said the Judge，smiling.“But now，nobody will get lost in that cave again.＂“Why not？＂asked Tom.＂Because I had its opening locked shut with boiler iron two weeks ago.Only I＇ve got the keys＂
Tom turned pale.
“What＇＇s the matter，boy＂asked the Judge.＂
“Injun Joe＇s in the cave！＂
