JACKSON'S ISLAND

Then it was summer and school was over. Tom and his friend Joe Harper went fishing on the Mississippi River. They talked and watched the big steamboats go up and down the river. One day Tom said, “Let's do something different and exciting!.”

“That's a great idea,” said Joe, who was always ready to have some fun. “But what shall we do?”.
“Let's go and live on Jackson's Island,” said Tom excitedly. “We can be pirates. A pirate's life is exciting.” Jackson's Island was a small island near St Petersburg. It was on the Mississippi River and no one lived there.
“Huck Finn can come with us,” said Tom. “Remember, Joe, don't tell your mother, father or anyone about our adventure. Go home and bring some food. Let's meet here at midnight.” Tom and Joe were excited.

At midnight the three boys met on the river. Tom brought some meat, Joe brought some bread and Huck brought a frying pan. They were ready to start their exciting adventure.
They found an old raft and they went down the river to Jackson's Island. When they got to the island they made a fire under a big tree and cooked some meat.

“This is great fun!” said Joe.
“We're free and we can do anything we want!” said Tom.
“What do pirates do?” asked Huck.
“They go on ships and steal treasure” said Tom. “Then they go to an island and hide it in a secret place.”

The three boys talked about great adventures and then slept under the stars during the warm summer night. They were very happy.

The next morning was sunny and hot, and the boys went swimming in the river. Then they went fishing and cooked the fish for breakfast. They were hungry and ate quickly.
After breakfast they explored the island and went swimming again. In the afternoon they sat around the fire and ate some meat and bread. Suddenly Tom said, “Can you hear a strange noise? Listen.”
“I can hear it,” said Joe. “What is it?”
“Let's go and see,” said Huck.

They ran to the river and saw two big steamboats and a lot of small boats near them . (…) Tom, Huck and Joe were having a wonderful time. They felt like real pirates on Jackson's Island.

My terrible rules.
In my bedroom, you mustn't be quiet.
You can run, jump on my bed, and You can write on the walls.
You mustn't read. You must watch T.V., play video games or play with my computer.
You can listen to music, but only hard-rock or rap music. You mustn't listen to classical music, because classical music is very dangerous for your ears.
You can eat pizza or ice-cream, and you can drink soda, but you mustn't drink water, because water is yucky.
You can fight and you can use bad language. You mustn't say "hello", or "thank you".
I'm a terrible kid and I have terrible rules!
