At first, they planned to take the key from the old man after he fell asleep. But Tom did not like this easy way. He loved exciting adventures, so he refused the easy plan and wanted to try something difficult.
One dark night, the two boys walked to the hut quietly. Huck found a high window and thought Jim could run away through it. But Tom shook his head and said, “We need a harder way and we do not want to hurry.” Then they decided to dig a tunnel under the hut. They used shovels and worked really hard the whole night until they broke through the ground.
They went through the tunnel and saw Jim at once. A chain tied Jim to the bed and he looked very happy to see them. Huck wanted to cut the chain right away, but Tom stopped him quickly. “That is not how people do it in storybooks,” Tom said in a loud voice.
Later, Uncle Silas put an ad in the newspaper to look for Jim’s owner. Huck was quite afraid because he worried that Jim would be sold to other places far away. That night, some men came to visit Uncle Silas. Huck and Tom took a sharp saw and ran back to the hut as fast as they could. Huck started to cut the chain, but Tom still insisted on doing it in a special way, just like the stories he read.

【导语】本文主要讲述了乌龟和森林中的鹿、鸟和老鼠成为了朋友。有一天一个人抓走了乌龟，其他三只小动物团结起来救出乌龟的故事。
1．句意：他们承诺在任何时候都相互信任和帮助。根据“in and help each other”和下文“believe in your friends and being together”可知，承诺相互信任和帮助，believe in“信任”，promise to do sth“承诺做某事”，此处用动词不定式形式to believe。
2．句意：鹿和老鼠飞快地跑进森林，鸟飞到了一棵树的树枝上。根据上文“they saw a man coming”可知，看到人来了，害怕被抓，应该是迅速跑走，quick“迅速的”，此处用其副词形式quickly“迅速地”修饰动词ran。
3．句意：那人抓住乌龟，把它放进一个袋子里。根据“put it in a bag”可知，那人抓住了乌龟， catch“抓住”，时态为一般过去时，此处用动词过去式caught。
