The next morning, Huck wakes up and tells his mom that he's feeling better. He tells her that his parents are going to be back in the morning, but that his mother is going to make fun of him when she sees him. Huck tells his mother that he doesn't understand how she can be so cruel to him when he is sick. He also tells her to make him some congee, which he'll eat. Huck asks his mom if he can take a shower, but her response is that he can't because he smells like alcohol. Huck says that he already has a fever, and that his mom has already wiped his body with alcohol. He's so sick that he wants to die.
