On that Saturday afternoon, the Harpers and Aunt Polly's family went into mourning(哀悼). The village was unusually quiet, with no children's laughter or playful shouts to be heard. People were sad to know that Tom, Joe and Huck were drowned(淹死). Then there was a discussion about who saw the dead boys last in life. Many people said they did and offered evidence(证据).
The next morning, when the bell began to toll(鸣钟), the villagers got together in the church. No one could remember when the little church had been so full before. Aunt Polly entered. She was followed by Sid and Mary and by the Harper family. They were all in deep black. As the funeral(葬礼) continued, people felt sorry that they did not treat the boys well before. They only saw faults in them. People gave way to their feelings and cried.
A moment later, the church door opened slowly with a soft low sound. People raised their eyes and they were surprised. They saw Tom, Joe and Huck—the three dead boys—walk into the church! They were still alive, their clothes a little messy but their eyes bright with joy.
Aunt Polly, Mary and the Harpers ran to the boys and kissed them again and again. Tom got hundreds of kisses that day. Before this, he didn't know he was loved by so many people, and his heart was filled with warm happiness.
