SpaceX Launch Trouble
Tom Sawyer:
Hello, Huckleberry!
Huckleberry Finn:
Hello yourself, and see how you like it.
Tom Sawyer:
What’s that you got?
Huckleberry Finn:
A space rocket!
Tom Sawyer:
Lemme see it, Huck. My, it’s pretty stiff. Where’d you get it?
Huckleberry Finn:
Made it myself with some boys. We launched one yesterday. Lost it… This is the next one.
Tom Sawyer:
I see you know how to make ‘em. Can you tell me?
Huckleberry Finn:
Of course — if you ain’t afeard.
Tom Sawyer:
Afeard! ‘Tain’t likely. What should I be afeard of?
Huckleberry Finn:
Muff Potter! Muff Potter and his knife!
Tom Sawyer:
Muff Potter? That bloodiest looking villain of the country? Does he know about the rocket?
Huckleberry Finn:
Oh, yes! He wants to get one or two. Promise me you won’t tell him!
Tom Sawyer:
I promise!
Huckleberry Finn:
Never a word?
Tom Sawyer:
Never a solitary word to anybody!
Huckleberry Finn:
Ok, then.
Tom Sawyer:
But maybe only to Becky…
