Tom soon found out that they were not in trouble.The Welshman had told the widow and subsequently the whole village that Huckleberry had saved her life.The Welshman had tried his best to keep his promise to Huckleberry,but he could not overcome Widow Douglas'tearful pleas. pleas.
“I would like to give you a home,” the widow said to Huck."I want to adopt you.You can live with me and get an education. And when you're old enough,I'll provide you with the money to start a business."
“Huck doesn't need it,”interrupted Tom.
“Huck's rich.”
Everyone laughed gently.
Tom ran outside.About ten minutes later,he came back and poured the mass of yellow coins onto the floor.
“There,”he said.“Now do you believe me? Half of it is Huck's,and half of it is mine!"
The spectacle took everyone's breath away .Nobody spoke for a moment. Then there was a unanimous call for an explanation. Tom told a wonderful story about how they had found it.
The money was counted.There was a little over twelve thousand dollars. No one in the room had seen that much money.
