The story:

Tom Sawyer does not like school. He does not like work, and he never wants to get out of bed in the morning. But he likes swimming and fishing, and having adventures with his friends. And he has a lot of adventures.

One night, he and his friend Huck Finn go to the graveyard to look for ghosts.
They don’t see any ghosts that night. They see something worse than a ghost – much, much worse...
