Read the excerpt from Chapter 35 of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn below and answer the question.
“And there’s Jim chained by one leg, with a ten-foot chain, to the leg of his bed: why all you got to do is to lift up the bedstead and slip off the chain.”
“What do we want of a saw?”
“What do we want of a saw? Hain’t we got to saw the leg of Jim’s bed off, so as to get the chain loose?”
“Why you just said a body could lift up the bedstead and slip the chain off.”
“Well, if that ain’t just like you, Huck Finn. You can get up the infant-schooliest ways of goin at a thing. Why, hain’t you read any books at all?
I says:
“What do we want of a moat when we’re going to snake him out from under the cabin?”
But he never heard me. He had forgot me and everything else. He had his chin in his hand, thinking. Pretty soon he sighs and shakes his head; then sighs again, and says:
“No, it wouldn’t do—there ain’t necessity enough for it.”
“For what?” I says.
“Why to saw Jim’s leg off,” he says.
“Good land!” I says: “why, there ain’t no necessity for it. And what would you want to saw his leg off for, anyway?”

Ответ:
Tom Sawyer likes to make everything interesting and complicated and Huckleberry Finn prefers to get things done as soon as possible. Both of the characters are arguing about getting Jim away. This makes the reader wonder who's idea is going to be used. The differences between the two characters show how their friendship also works.
Explanation:
"You can get up the infant-schooliest ways of goin at a thing. Why, hain’t you read any books at all?" Tom is saying that in books things are interesting and that Huck is making Jim's way of escape seem so simple and easy.
Huck says, "“why, there ain’t no necessity for it. .."' He doesn't want to take a while to free Jim when he can jsut slip off his chain.
