Tom plays hooky to go swimming with Huck, and nearly gets away with it too until Sid interferes. To get back at him, Tom rashly boasts that he'll get a prize bible before Sid does, but soon runs out of things to trade with the other kids for the tickets he needs. And after Tom gets into a fight with the new boy, Aunt Polly decides that as punishment, he should spend his whole Saturday working.
