The Adventures of Huckelberry Finn

Today's reading, Huckelberry talks to Judge Thatcher about his money. Huckelberry wants to give the Judge his six thousand dollars, he doesn't say why. But he does not want the money, so asked Judge Thatcher to take it. The Judge writes a contract or an agreement between the two of them stating that Huckelberry has given up his six thousand to the Judge. Huckelberry signs the paper and then leaves.
I don't understand why Huckelberry just gave away his money like that. He could have saved it up for future needs. Used it in case he ever wanted to go to college or invest in something but no he decided to give it away.
