Huck believes that Jim is in a shed that a black man keeps bringing food to. Tom is willing to help out Huck, which shocks him because Huck thought it'd ruin Tom's rep. by helping a slave out. Tom comes up with an idea to get Jim out, and when they finally see Jim, he cries. The boys then promise Jim that they will dig Jim out and he'll be free. Throughout this I was wondering how the boys will pull this off.
The boys keep at their plan and try to dig a tunnel to get Jim out. They were using knives, but gave up and started using pick-axes. The next day the boys continue to dig to get Jim. Jim was so happy to see Huck. The boys tell them their plan and he doesn't quite understand them, but he goes along with it anyway.
Later, Aunt Sally realizes all of the missing items and gets angry. She doesn't believe that the boys have stolen them, so she believes that it was rats. They even made rat holes and got Aunt Sally convinced. She then loses track of how many sheets she had. How the heck would rats take sheets?
I liked how eager the boys are to get Jim escaped. I also liked how Tom helps Huck out even though it could ruin him, by helping out a slave. A main take away i got out of these chapters is friendship. The boys will do anything to help a friend out.
