My father， who was always drunk and angry， beat me more and more every day． He always locked the door when he went away and kept the key in this pocket． One day I found an old saw（锯子） that he hid in the roof． When I was alone in the house，I started to make a hole on the floor under the big table．
The next day my father said，"Huck， go to the river and catch some fish for breakfast． Quickly! And don't try anything． Remember， I'm watching you!"
While I was fishing by the river， I saw an empty boat nearby．
"A boat!" I thought happily，"This is my chance to escape． I'll hide the boat near some trees and use it tonight!"
When my father went to town that afternoon， I got my saw and started to work on the hole． It was late afternoon when I finished making the hole．
"I did a good job，"I thought， looking at the hole． "Now I'll get my father's gun．
I looked outside the window and there was nobody there． I quickly escaped through the hole． Then I ran into the woods to hunt a wild pig． Luckily， I found one． I shot it and took it back to the house and let the pig's blood fall on the wooden floor of the house． Then I pulled some of my hair out and put it on my father's axe（斧子） with some of the pig's blood． I took the pig's body outside and put it in a big bag with some rocks， and threw it into the river．
"This way people will think__▲__ !"I thought． "They'll come and look for my body in the river．"This idea made me smile．
I waited until it was dark and got into the boat and went to Jackson's Island． I knew about Jackson's Island because Tom， Ben， Joe and I had a lot of fun adventures there．

Hours passed． "Where are those boys？" shouted the angry father．"They are probably playing a game and have forgotten about the water． I wish they were all turned into ravens （乌鸦） !" And when he looked up， he saw seven black birds flying away． The father was shocked．"What have I done？" he thought． But it was too late． He could not take back his words．
Later， the girl grew up and discovered she had brothers． The story of their bad luck influenced her deeply， and she decided to find them． For years， she searched and did not stop． She made up her mind to find them． Finally， she found their home．To enter，she needed a special key made from a chicken bone，which she did not have．The girl thought for a moment，and then took a knife and cut off one of her fingers． With it， she opened the front door and went inside． On a table， there were seven plates and seven cups． She ate and drank a little from each of them． In the last cup， she accidentally dropped a ring that her parents had given her．
Later that day， the ravens returned for their meal． The girl hid behind the door and watched． When the seventh raven drank from his cup， something hit his mouth． The raven recognized it at once﹣it was his parents' ring．"I wish our sister were here，" he said， "and then we could be free．" At that moment， their sister ran to them， and suddenly the ravens were human again．The brothers kissed their sister，and all eight of them went home together happily．
