Poor huck was too distressed to smile , but the old man laughed loud and joyously , shook up the details of his anatomy from head to foot , and ended by saying that such a laugh was money in a - man s pocket , because it cut down the doctor s bill like everything 于是，他硬着头皮，捏着嗓子说： “主日学校用的教材，也许是的。 ”可怜的哈克显得十分难过的样子，不苟言笑，可老人却开怀大笑，笑得浑身上下直发抖。最后，他还说这种大笑就等于到手的钱，因为笑口常开无病无灾。
