1"Jim, don't act so foolish. A prisoner's got to have some kind of a dumb pet, and if a rattlesnake hain't ever been
2tried, why, there's more glory to be gained in your being the first to ever try it than any other way you could ever
3think of to save your life." "Why, Mars Tom, I doan' want no sich glory. Snake take 'n bite Jim's chin off, den whah is
4de glory? No, sah, I doan' want no sich doin's." "Blame it, can't you try? I only want you to try--you needn't keep it
5up if it don't work." "But de trouble all done ef de snake bite me while I's a tryin' him. Mars Tom, I's willin' to
6tackle mos' anything 'at ain't onreasonable, but ef you en Huck fetches a rattlesnake in heah for me to tame, I's gwyne
7to leave, dat's shore." "Well, then, let it go, let it go, if you're so bull-headed about it. We can get you some
8garter-snakes, and you can tie some buttons on their tails, and let on they're rattlesnakes, and I reckon that'll have
9to do." "I k'n stan' dem, Mars Tom, but blame' 'f I couldn' get along widout um, I tell you dat. I never knowed b'fo' 't
10was so much bother and trouble to be a prisoner." "Well, it always is when it's done right. You got any rats around
11here?" "No, sah, I hain't seed none." "Well, we'll get you some rats." "Why, Mars Tom, I doan' want no rats. Dey's de
12dadblamedest creturs to 'sturb a body, en rustle roun' over 'im, en bite his feet, when he's tryin' to sleep, I ever
13see. No, sah, gimme g'yarter-snakes, 'f I's got to have 'm, but doan' gimme no rats; I hain' got no use f'r um,
14skasely." "But, Jim, you got to have 'em--they all do. So don't make no more fuss about it. Prisoners ain't ever without
15rats. There ain't no instance of it. And they train them, and pet them, and learn them tricks, and they get to be as
16sociable as flies. But you got to play music to them. You got anything to play music on?" "I ain' got nuffn but a coase
17comb en a piece o' paper, en a juice-harp; but I reck'n dey wouldn' take no stock in a juice-harp." "Yes they would.
18They don't care what kind of music 'tis. A jews-harp's plenty good enough for a rat. All animals like music--in a prison
19they dote on it. Specially, painful music; and you can't get no other kind out of a jews-harp. It always interests them;
20they come out to see what's the matter with you. Yes, you're all right; you're fixed very well. You want to set on your
21bed nights before you go to sleep, and early in the mornings, and play your jews-harp; play 'The Last Link is
22Broken'--that's the thing that'll scoop a rat quicker 'n anything else; and when you've played about two minutes you'll
23see all the rats, and the snakes, and spiders, and things begin to feel worried about you, and come. And they'll just
24fairly swarm over you, and have a noble good time." "Yes, dey will, I reck'n, Mars Tom, but what kine er time is Jim
25havin'? Blest if I kin see de pint. But I'll do it ef I got to. I reck'n I better keep de animals satisfied, en not have
26no trouble in de house." Tom waited to think it over, and see if there wasn't nothing else; and pretty soon he says:
27"Oh, there's one thing I forgot. Could you raise a flower here, do you reckon?" "I doan know but maybe I could, Mars
28Tom; but it's tolable dark in heah, en I ain' got no use f'r no flower, nohow, en she'd be a pow'ful sight o' trouble."
29"Well, you try it, anyway. Some other prisoners has done it." "One er dem big cat-tail-lookin' mullen-stalks would grow
30in heah, Mars Tom, I reck'n, but she wouldn't be wuth half de trouble she'd coss." "Don't you believe it. We'll fetch
31you a little one and you plant it in the corner over there, and raise it. And don't call it mullen, call it
32Pitchiola--that's its right name when it's in a prison. And you want to water it with your tears." "Why, I got plenty
33spring water, Mars Tom." "You don't want spring water; you want to water it with your tears. It's the way they always
34do." "Why, Mars Tom, I lay I kin raise one er dem mullen-stalks twyste wid spring water whiles another man's a start'n
35one wid tears." "That ain't the idea. You got to do it with tears." "She'll die on my han's, Mars Tom, she sholy will;
36kase I doan' skasely ever cry." So Tom was stumped. But he studied it over, and then said Jim would have to worry along
37the best he could with an onion. He promised he would go to the nigger cabins and drop one, private, in Jim's
38coffee-pot, in the morning. Jim said he would "jis' 's soon have tobacker in his coffee;" and found so much fault with
39it, and with the work and bother of raising the mullen, and jews-harping the rats, and petting and flattering up the
40snakes and spiders and things, on top of all the other work he had to do on pens, and inscriptions, and journals, and
41things, which made it more trouble and worry and responsibility to be a prisoner than anything he ever undertook, that
42Tom most lost all patience with him; and said he was just loadened down with more gaudier chances than a prisoner ever
43had in the world to make a name for himself, and yet he didn't know enough to appreciate them, and they was just about
44wasted on him. So Jim he was sorry, and said he wouldn't behave so no more, and then me and Tom shoved for bed.
