25、

The boat arrived at a small town, and Legree and his slaves（奴隶） got off. Tom and the other men walked all the way to the plantation.

They stopped in front of a house. It was large, but it looked empty and uncomfortable, the glass of some windows were broken and there were bits of wood and boxes on the ground. Two slaves, Sambo and Quimbo, were Legree’s two main helpers on the plantation, and they arrived with dogs.

“Don’t try to ran away,”said Legree to Tom and the others, “or the dogs will follow you.”

“Sambo,” said Legree, “take these new slaves down to the cabins.”

The slaves followed Sambo to the cabins. They were near the plantation and far from the house. Tom’s heart sank when he saw them. Each one had only one room, without any furniture.

“Go into this one,”said Sambo. “They will all be crowded later.”

Later in the evening the other slaves came back from the plantation, tired, hungry and dirty. They didn’t even look at the new ones. They had to wait in line for their turn to cook a very poor meal. Then they all went to sleep on the floor in the cabins.

Every day, from early in the morning until late in the evening, under the hot sun, the slaves picked cotton. When they finished, Legree weighed it, and there was whipping（鞭打）for the slaves who didn’t pick enough cotton. Tom learnt to pick cotton quickly.
