Huckleberry was cordially hated and dreaded by all the mothers of the town, because he was idle and lawless and vulgar and bad--and because all their children admired him so, and delighted in his forbidden society, and wished they dared to be like him.
Huckleberry era coralment odiat i temut de totes les mares del poble, perque estava en vaga, i no coneixia llei, i era ordinari, i dolent… i perque tots llurs infants l'admiraven en tanta de manera, i es delectaven en sa prohibida companyia, i haurien volgut tenir la gosadia d'ésser com ell.
