The story is set in the fictional town of St. Petersburg, inspired by Hannibal, Missouri, where Twain lived.

“Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” – Huckleberry “Huck” Finn and his friend, Tom Sawyer, have each come into a considerable sum of money as a result of their earlier adventures. Huck is placed under the guardianship of the Widow Douglas, who, together with her stringent sister, Miss Watson, are attempting to “civilize” him and teach him religion. Finding civilized life confining, his spirits are raised somewhat when Tom Sawyer helps him to escape one night past Miss Watson’s slave Jim, to meet up with Tom’s gang of self-proclaimed “robbers.”

Here’s the set-up:

Sometimes we practice telling our stories to the furry ears and sweet heart of an adoring pet.

It’s a beautiful day in Meggi Beth’s neighborhood, where the eight-year-old girl, carrying a heavy storybook on her back, finds a step on which to rest.

The street carries neighbors to her, all of them lost in their own thoughts. . .Why is everyone so busy?

Get this story – styled in Shel Silverstein’s thoughtfulness. Even Mr. Rogers would be proud.
