While the boys are sneaking away, Huck trips over a root and makes noise when he falls. Miss Watson's slave Jim hears the sound and comes outside to look around. Jim sits down right between where Huck and Tom are hiding and decides to wait until he catches them. However, he soon gets tired and falls asleep against a tree. Tom then wants to play a trick on Jim. He and Huck climb into the house and steal three candles, for which they leaves a nickel as "pay". Then Tom quietly makes his way to Jim, takes off Jim's hat, and places it on a tree branch above Jim's head.
