They do a play, which isn't much of a play. The king crawls across the stage naked and all painted up colorful. The crowd got mad but since they didn't want to look stupid they told everyone it was a good play and so the second night they had a good crowd again. The third night though they had a big crowd but they all had rotten fruit and dead animals to throw at them. They collected the fees and went to the raft and got away from that town. I think Twain is trying to make fun of people who are sneaky and get away with things that other people don't realize right in front of their faces. It seems so obvious but people don't always realize.
Then they are floating down the river and Jim is talking about how he had beat his daughter because he didn't realize she was deaf and dumb. He feels bad and Huck says "i do believe he cared just as much for his people as white folks does for their'n." This shows just how much he has learned in his life that black people don't have the same feelings as white people and that they aren't exactly the same as white people even though they are.
