that is not nice tofu what if your
friends find out they will stop talking
to you won't pay oh no I am so clever
they won't find out ever
let me tell you the story of another
clever boy called Don Sawyer
[Music]
Tom Sawyer left with his aunt Bonnie and
half brother SID he was an extremely
clever boy who loved mischief but Tom
also had a very good luck which always
helped him get away with the mischief he
did one day his Aunt Polly was looking
for him Tom Tom where are you
[Music]
she looked everywhere
she looked outside in the yard inside in
the house and the kitchen
she looked in her room - but he was
nowhere she went back to his room and
called to him so stop hiding and come
out now but there was no answer
suddenly Aunt Polly saw something move
under Tom's bed she thought it was stone
she bent down and swiftly pulled the bed
cover a cat that dome had hidden there
sprung out and aunt trolley surprised
looking at this she shouted oh dear why
did Tom get the cat wait till I find
that boy
[Music]
justice Aunt Polly was showing the cat
out of the halo she felt someone behind
her it was Tom trying to escape from the
room
[Music]
he had been hiding in the cupboard
Aunt Polly got him by the collar time
what were you doing hiding in the
cupboard
you ate all the charm didn't you huh no
Aunt Polly I haven't even touched the
jam it must have been SID
don't you lie to me young man
I can see the jam all over your face Tom
quickly tried to wipe his face but it
was too late today I am going to beat
you with a stick you have become too
mischievous
Aunt Polly look behind you Aunt Polly
turned to see but there was no one it
was just one of Tom's tricks and this
time he used it to get away from Aunt
Polly
because when she turned around again he
wasn't there
oh this boy one of these days I am going
to punish him tom was so happy with
himself for fooling Aunt Polly again
that he decided to take the day off from
school instead he went to the river and
bathed in it
at large time he went into a nearby farm
stone fruits from there and ran out
there with the owner chasing behind him
just as he was running he bumped into
Sid Sid saw Tom's wet hair and clothes
and the fruits in his hands and
understood that Tom hadn't gone to
school but he didn't say anything
when Tom reached home Aunt Polly was
waiting for him and she was angry
Tom understood that Sid had told her
everything Tom did you skip school again
ah no Aunt Polly said is lying how did
you know Sid said anything to me well
for once Tom had got himself into
trouble he had no answer for aunt
Polly's question tomorrow is Saturday
you don't have school you will not go
anywhere instead you will whitewash the
fence the entire fence yes the entire
fence that is your punishment Tom had no
choice he couldn't argue with Aunt Polly
he didn't want to make her angrier but
he was angry too the fence would take up
his whole Saturday he went into the yard
and kicked out the dust just then he saw
said coming in he quickly made a mud
ball and swung it at him Polly why did
you have to tell anything to Aunt Polly
Tom flung a few more mud balls at Sid
and then jumped over the fence and ran
away
he knew he was already punished so
nothing worse could happen now next
morning when Tom came down for breakfast
he was greeted with a pail of paint and
paintbrushes
[Music]
Aunt Polly had been serious about his
punishment
so Tom ate his breakfast and went into
the yard to whitewash the fence
painstakingly he finished a bit of it
that's when his friend Joe came up to
him hey Tom why are you working on a
Saturday morning working who said
anything about working well why are you
painting the fence then I'm doing it
because it is art haven't you heard of
hot Joe well I have but I have never
done it is it fun oh yes it is
why else would I do it Joe thought about
it it was true Tom Sawyer would never do
anything that wasn't fun he asked Tom if
he could also try it
Tom agreed to let Joe do only a small
portion of it in exchange of three
marbles
Joe thought three marbles was too much
but agreed he wanted to try art
[Music]
a little while later dear friend Genting
he saw tom resting under the tree and
joe painting the fence he went to Joe
what are you doing Joe it is art I paint
on three marbles - let me do it three
models ah is it that good
yes very good Jim dashed to Tom
immediately and asked if an exchange of
his fish book he too could whitewash the
fence
Tom paint some reluctance but agreed and
so it went on
other friends of Tom came and believed
that painting the fence was fun the paid
tom in collectors cards candies and
havin a catapult to get a chance to
paint the fence by noon the entire fence
was painted and Tom was a rich boy he
hid his treasures and went to his aunt
[Music]
it's done what unbelievable
let me see Aunt Polly took Tom with her
to see the fence indeed it was done and
it was done very nicely how did he do it
anyway his banishment is over now I will
have to let him go
I hope he does not create more mischief
but as always when Aunt Polly turned
around to tell Tom that his punishment
was over he was already gone
the next day was Sunday and Tom went to
Sunday school when he reached there he
saw a new girl and was smitten by her he
desperately wanted to impress her he
thought of a way he could prove himself
better than the other boys he went to
one of the smartest boys in the class
and bought from him all his yellow
tickets in exchange of the treasure he
had earned from his friends yesterday
the yellow tickets were awarded only to
those boys who had learned all the
verses of the Bible usually only all the
boys were able to get the yellow tickets
when you had enough yellow tickets
you could exchange them for a Bible the
minister asked the class
does anyone have enough yellow tickets
for a Bible
nobody had so many tickets except Tom
who raised his hand everybody including
the minister was surprised tom was the
most naughty boy they knew how could he
have learned all the verses of the Bible
the minister understood this was one of
Tom's tricks and he decided to test him
worried well done Tom please come here
and collect your Bible also as it's
tradition when you earn your Bible you
get to recite any three of your favorite
verses from it tom was stumped three
verses he didn't even know one he
fumbled
the whole class laughed at him as they
understood that mischievous Tom had got
into a big soup this time do you still
think you will never get caught
oh no Atia I have to go and tell my
friends the truth and apologize to them
right away for your favorite crimes
