The story

In an 1840s schoolroom in St. Petersburg, Mo., a schoolteacher warns her students about associating with Huckleberry Finn, whom she calls "a very unhappy boy."

The boys warn him that the teacher plans to visit the Widow Douglas, Huck’s guardian, to tell her Huck will not get promoted because of his poor attendance.
