One of Mark Twain's classic novels is The Adventures(冒险)of Tom Sawyer. It is set in a small American town in the 19th century. The people in this town are very traditional(传统的)and live a quiet life.

The story is about a boy called Tom Sawyer, who lives with his aunt Polly. He is often in trouble with his aunt. Aunt Polly is very kind, but Tom thinks she is always trying to control him.

Tom is different from the other children in the town. He loves adventure. He does a lot of bad things, but he never really hurts anyone. He tries very hard not to go to school, and often jumps out of his bedroom window at night to meet his friends. He is very clever. One day, Aunt Polly asks him to do some painting, and he manages to get all the boys in the town to do the work for him by inventing a new painting game. It is these little stories that make readers want to keep reading the novel, but it is the adventures that are the most important part of the book.

Tom's best friend is Huck Finn, a boy who has no home. In one adventure, they spend the night outside, and they see a man kill another man in the dark. Later in the book, Tom, Huck and another boy decide to leave the town because they think that life there is too boring. They run away to an island in the middle of a river. They make fires, catch fish and sleep under the stars. They also make a boat to travel up and down the river. Without seeing the boys for days, the people in the town think that they have died. One day, when Tom comes back to his aunt's house to leave a letter saying that he is not dead, he hears his aunt talking about his funeral(葬礼).Then Tom has an idea. On the morning of their funeral, the boys run back into town and attend their own funeral before telling everyone that they are still alive.
