Speaking personally, I would say that I find the incident with the bible tickets as the most interesting for the same reason as the previous contributor: it gives us insight into Tom's entrepreneurial character (as well as his seemingly endless capacity for mischief).
The children at Tom's Sunday School are awarded different colored tickets for every bible verse they can recite. If they manage to collect one thousand tickets, then they'll be given a Dore Bible as a prize. Tom has no chance of winning the prize. His memory is much too bad, and he's also chronically lazy. Try as he might, he just can't make any progress. What he needs is an incentive. And it duly arrives in the shape of Becky Thatcher, Judge Thatcher's daughter. Soon, Tom becomes hopelessly smitten with the girl and wants to impress her. What better way to do this than by winning the prized Dore Bible?
But Tom, being Tom, doesn't go about collecting tickets in the ordinary way; that would be too much like hard work. So he trades stuff to get tickets. For a prized yellow ticket, Tom is prepared to trade a piece of licorice and a fishhook. For three red tickets, he hands over a couple of white alleys, or marbles. After bumping into another few boys on his way to church, Tom manages to get his hands on yet more tickets, enough to win the Dore Bible. There's just one problem: Tom's expected to recite a bible verse chosen at random by the superintendent, and he doesn't have a clue what to say. The whole embarrassing episode speaks volumes about Tom Sawyer: unfailingly resourceful and ever so smart, but a little too clever by half.

Most interesting incident in The Adventures of Tom Sawyer:
- For each verse of the Bible that the kids at Tom's Sunday School can recite, they receive a ticket of a different colour. They will receive a Dore Bible as a prize if they are successful in collecting 1000 tickets. Tom has zero chance of taking home the award. He has a very poor memory and is also consistently indolent. No matter what he does, he just can't move forward. He requires an inducement. Becky Thatcher, the daughter of Judge Thatcher, is the one who duly brings it. Tom quickly develops an obsession with the girl and seeks to please her. Why not accomplish this by taking home the treasured Dore Bible?
- But being Tom, Tom doesn't approach ticket collection the typical method because it would feel too laborious. To obtain tickets, he trades goods. Tom is willing to exchange a fishhook and a bit of licorice for a treasured yellow ticket. He exchanges a few white marbles or alleys for three red tickets.
- Tom is able to obtain enough tickets to win the Dore Bible after running into a few more youngsters on his route to church. The only issue is that Tom is required to repeat a bible verse that the superintendent has chosen at random, but he has no idea what to say. The entire embarrassing incident says a lot about Tom Sawyer: always resourceful and extremely intelligent, but perhaps a little too clever by half.
