13£®Tom appeared on the sidewalk with a bucket of whitewash and a longhandled brush£®He stopped by the fence in front of the house where he lived with his aunt Polly£®He looked at it£¬and all joy left him£®The fence was long and high£®He put the brush into the whitewash and moved it along the top of the fence£®He repeated the operation£®He felt he could not continue and sat down£®
He knew that his friends would arrive soon with all kinds of interesting plans for the day£®
They would walk past him and laugh£®They would make jokes about his having to work on a beautiful summer Saturday£®The thought burned him like fire£®
He put his hand into his pockets and took out all that he owned£®Perhaps he could find some way to pay someone to do the whitewashing for him£®But there was nothing of value in his pockets-nothing that could buy even half an hour of freedom£®So he put the bits of toys back into his pockets and gave up the idea£®
At this dark and hopeless moment£¬a wonderful idea came to him£®It filled his mind with a great£¬bright light£®Calmly he picked up the brush and started again to whitewash£®
While Tom was working£¬Ben Rogers appeared£®Ben was eating an apple as he walked along the street£®As he walked along it£¬he was making noises like the sound of a riverboat£®First he shouted loudly£¬like a boat captain£®Then he said"Ding-Dong-Dong"£¬"Ding-Dong-Dong"again and again£¬like the bell of a riverboat£®And he made other strange noises£®When he came close to Tom£¬he stopped£®
Tom went on whitewashing£®He did not look at Ben£®Ben stared a moment and then said£º"Hello!I'm going swimming£¬but you can't go£¬can you£¿"
No answer£®Tom moved his brush carefully along the fence and looked at the result with the eye of an artist£®Ben came nearer£®Tom's mouth watered for the apple£¬but he kept on working£®
Ben said£¬"Hello£¬old fellow£¬you've got to work£¬hey£¿"
Tom turned suddenly and said£¬"Why£¬it's you£¬Ben!I wasn't noticing£®"
"Say-I'm going swimming£®Don't you wish you could£¿But of course you'd rather work-wouldn't you£¿Of course you would£®"
Tom looked at the boy a bit£¬and said£¬"What do you call work£¿"
"Why£¬isn't that work£¿"
Tom went back to his whitewashing£¬and answered carelessly£®
"Well£¬maybe it is£¬and maybe it isn't£®All I know is£¬it suits Tom Sawyer£®"
"Oh come£¬now£¬you don't mean to say that you like it£¿"
The brush continued to move£®
"Like it£¿Well£¬I don't see why I shouldn't like it£®Does a boy get a chance to whitewash a fence every day£¿"
Ben stopped eating his apple£®Tom moved his brush back and forth£¬stepped back to look at the result£¬added a touch here and there£¬and stepped back again£®Ben watched every move and got more and more interested£®Soon he said£¬"Say£¬Tom£¬let me whitewash a little£®"
Tom thought for a moment£¬and was about to agree£¬but he changed his mind£®
"No-no-it won't do£¬Ben£®You see£¬Aunt Polly wants this fence to be perfect£®It has got to be done very carefully£®I don't think there is one boy in a thousand£¬maybe two thousand£¬that can do it well enough£®"
"No-is that so£¿Oh come£¬now-let me just try£®Only just a little£®"
"Ben£¬I'd like to£¬but if it isn't done right£¬I'm afraid Aunt Polly ¡"
"Oh£¬I'll be careful£®Now let me try£®Say-I'll give you the core of my apple£®"
"Well£¬here-No£¬Ben£¬now don't£®I'm afraid ¡"
"I'll give you all of it£®"
Tom gave up the brush with unwillingness on his face£¬but joy in his heart£®And while Ben worked at the fence in the hot sun£¬Tom sat under a tree£¬eating the apple£¬and planning how to get more help£®There were enough boys£®Each one came to laugh£¬but remained to whitewash£®By the time Ben was tired£¬Tom sold the next chance to Billy for a kite£» and when Billy was tired£¬Johnny bought it for a dead rat-and so on£¬hour after hour£®And when the middle of the afternoon came£¬Tom had won many treasures£®
And he had not worked£®He had had a nice idle time all the time£¬with plenty of company£¬and the fence had been whitewashed three times£®If he hadn't run out of whitewash£¬Tom would have owned everything belonging to his friends£®
He had discovered a great law of human action£¬namely£¬that in order to make a man or a boy want a thing£¬it is only necessary to make the thing difficult to get£®
