My father, who was always drunk and angry, beat me more and more every day. He always locked the door when he went away and kept the key in his pocket. One day I found an old saw (锯子) that he hid in the roof. When I was alone in the house,I started to make a hole on the floor under the big table.

The next day my father said, "Huck, go to the river and catch some fish for breakfast. Quickly! And don't try anything. Remember, I'm watching you!"

While I was fishing by the river, I saw an empty boat nearby.

"A boat!"I thought, happily, "This is my chance to escape. I'll hide the boat near some trees and use it tonight!"

When my father went to town that afternoon, I got my saw and started to work on the hole. It was late afternoon when I finished making the hole.

"I did a good job,"I thought, looking at the hole. "Now I'll get my father's gun, I have a plan."
