The City of my Dream
Since young age, I have always wondered what the perfect place for living would be like. Now, I can say that I have a clear vision of the city of my dreams. First of all, it should be situated in a sunny part of our planet and have great weather conditions all year round. Secondly, there should be neither crime nor any violence there. Only good and kind people can reside in such city. Life can be much easier and nicer if everyone is loving and understanding. In the city of my dreams people will live in peace and quiet, without any worries and fears. This city will have excellent roads, cheap stores, many beautiful parks and playgrounds for kids, several entertainment centers and else. The population of the city will be neither too rich, nor poor. People will live equally well. Older people will be respected and taken care of. The streets will be clean and safe. There will be no homeless animals in the city of my dreams. Another important condition is to have a loyal government. People in the city of my dream will never be in a hurry and they will do only the jobs they like. However, I certainly understand that it’s just my dream, I really hope that at least some of the mentioned qualities will come true in the future.

Mark TWAIN (1835-1910) is the pseudonym of Samuel Longhorne Clemens, one of the greatest American writers of the 19th century. His famous
the book "the adventures of Tom Sawyer" is popular with millions of readers. Book full of adventures of Tom and his friends. Tom Sawyer is a boy who lives with his younger brother sid and Polly in St. Petersburg, a city on the Mississippi river.
• That day Tom Sawyer feel gloomy. They called him lonely. No one cared about him. He believed that no one loved him. Tom was crying. He looked back at the house, their school, and again cried. He thought about how unfriendly, how cold the world was. Just at that moment he was faced with Joe Harper his old friend. Joe's eyes were red. He looked miserable, his mother punished him to drink the cream
The guys talked about their common problems and decided to flee the city. Near the town on the great Mississippi river was a raft. They could travel on water for long island is called the island of Jackson. No one could find the boys.
An hour later, Huck Finn, a tramp, also joined them. Plan for the guys to warm the food out of the house to meet at midnight near a raft to escape from the city to live a happy life on the island as pirates.The night was dark and still. A great river like the ocean. At midnight, Tom was in a secret place with a piece of ham. A minute later the three friends found each other in the dark and was on a raft. At two o'clock the young pirates came to the island and maiden voyage ended.

Tired but happy, they lit a fire and fried some bacon. 
How romantic it was: water, stars, bacon, freedom, friends...
"Not great?", Joe said.
"This is wonderful!" Tom said. "What are you guys talking about?"
"They'll just die here!"
"For me it's just life," said Tom. "You don't get up early, do not wash, do not go to school. You just relax and enjoy".
Suddenly said Huck, " what do pirates do?"

Tom replied, "Oh, they just have the time to take the bully ships, to get money and hide them in a terrible place."
"What dreadful place?"
"Somewhere on the island. Where there are a lot of ghosts."
Gradually their conversation died, the boys fell asleep. That night they dreamed of adventure, travel, first impressions of a new life.
