Hear that whistle blow.
Speaker A
See that paddle go, who knows what we're heading toward, that Mississippi, she is a mystery, she's just awaiting there to be explored.
Speaker B
Go get your gear, hear me, we'll meet you here, hear me, Huck, Tom, and Becky, and Jim.
Speaker C
I'm Huck Finn.
Speaker C
It all started out in our graveyard in Hannibal, Missouri, when Tom Sawyer, Becky Thatcher and me were on our way home.
Speaker D
I don't see why we had to come this way.
Speaker C
Because it's a shortcut, Becky.
Speaker E
See that old headstone, Becky, that's where me and Huck signed when Joe killed Dr. Robinson.
Speaker D
Oh, I'm not staying in this awful place another second.
Speaker E
It's Injun Joe.
Speaker C
When Injun Joe escaped from jail, folks said he'd gone down river, but here he was, big as life, and out to get Tom and me for testifying against him in court.
Speaker E
I'll find you.
Speaker C
I thought Tom and me knew this cave, but we got all mixed up.
Speaker E
This way.
Speaker C
No.
Speaker E
That way.
Speaker E
Why did they get away from me, huh?
Speaker E
I'll find you, no matter where you go.
Speaker C
And I had a funny feeling he was right, that we'd see him again.
Speaker F
A windmill.
Speaker F
We must be in Holland.
Speaker C
A windmill?
Speaker C
What does it do?
Speaker E
I don't know, but they wouldn't have built it if it didn't do something.
Speaker F
Maybe someone lives in one of those windmills, they could tell us where we are.
Speaker G
Sancho, yonder children seem not to realize their great danger.
Speaker H
Danger?
Speaker G
Quickly.
Speaker G
They will be devoured.
Speaker F
Who's that?
Speaker G
Aha.
Speaker G
A giant beast has been transformed again.
Speaker F
What beast?
Speaker G
The evil monster I have just vanquished, my dear, a powerful sorcerer has changed him once more into an innocent appearing windmill.
Speaker G
And, uh, who might you be, my beautiful lady?
Speaker F
Well, my name's Becky Thatcher, and these are my friends, Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn.
Speaker C
How do you do?
Speaker G
And I am Don Quixote de la Mancha, and this is my faithful servant, Sancho Panza.
Speaker H
Hi.
Speaker G
But what are you doing here?
Speaker F
We're trying to find our way back to Hannibal.
Speaker G
And you, of course, are the princess of Hannibal.
Speaker F
Oh, no, I just live there.
Speaker F
We don't have any princesses.
Speaker G
I see.
Speaker G
You are traveling incognito, and the name Becky is not your own.
Speaker F
Oh, but it is.
Speaker G
No, not Becky.
