In this chapter, Huck and his friends discuss the dangers of summer. Huck compares the summer to the summer of the pig, who is the "enemy of summer" . He compares the spiral-shaped coils of a mosquito to "puffs of smoking" , and he compares the golden hamsters to "her golden coots tume !" . Huck says he's exhausted from the summer, and that he'd like to do something more serious with his schoolwork. He suggests that they make a picture diary, so they can keep track of what they've been up to.
