## Contents
The chapter details Tom Sawyer’s attempt to feign illness to avoid school, beginning with him pretending to have a mortified toe, which amuses his Aunt Polly. After she extracts his loose tooth instead, Tom proudly displays the gap to his peers on the way to school. There, he encounters Huckleberry Finn and engages in a boyish debate about folk remedies for warts, including the use of dead cats and “spunk-water.” The chapter culminates in Tom’s arrival at school, where he is punished for talking to Huck and forced to sit with the girls. He strikes up a flirtatious interaction with a new girl, Becky Thatcher, drawing pictures and writing “I love you” on a slate, which leads to a moment of shared embarrassment when discovered by the schoolmaster. The chapter ends with Tom’s distracted performance in class, reflecting his emotional excitement.
