第8课时　[Unit 5 名著阅读]

Every boy wants to find treasure. And Tom was no different. One summer day Tom told Huck about his idea.

“Where can we look for treasure？” asked Huck.

“It's hidden on islands, under dead trees, but mostly under the floors in haunted houses.”

So, one Saturday afternoon Tom and his friend went to look for treasure at the haunted house on Cardiff Hill. It was a quiet and lonely place, which made the boys feel very frightened. They entered quietly, and explored downstairs. There were cobwebs everywhere and everything was old and broken. Then they threw their tools in a corner and walked upstairs, but there was nothing there. They were just about to go downstairs and start digging when Tom stopped.

“What is it？” whispered Huck, going white with fright.

“Keep quiet! There's someone downstairs.”

The boys lay down, looking through the holes in the wooden floor. There were two men downstairs. One was an old Spaniard in a wide sombrero hat and the other was dirty and unpleasant­looking.

Tom and Huck shook with fear when they heard the Spaniard speak because they found it was Injun Joe. He said：

“It's time for us to move, partner. What will we do with the $650 from the robbery？”

“Let's keep $30 each and leave the bag here.”

The dirty man went to the fireplace and moved a stone. Then he lifted out a bag full of money and took out some coins. The two boys forgot all their fears when they saw there was real treasure downstairs.

Then Injun Joe started digging a hole with his knife and the knife hit something.

“What is it？” asked the other man.

“It's a box，” said Injun Joe. And he put in his hand and pulled out a handful of gold coins. The other man found the boys' tools, and they soon pulled out the box.

“There's thousands of dollars there，” said Injun Joe.

“The Murrell Gang used this area one summer，” said his partner.

“They must have hidden their money here.”

“What will we do with this, Joe? Will we bury it again？”

“No, someone might find it，” said Injun Joe. “Let's bury it in the number two den.”

Tom and Huck got up as soon as the two men left. They decided to watch out for the “man in the sombrero” when he came to town and find out where the number two den was.
