Question

Saturday morning came, all the summer world was bright and fresh, and full of life. There was a song in

every heart and cheerfulness in every face.

Tom appeared with a bucket of white-wash and a long handled brush. He looked at the fence and what

he saw took away all the gladness from his heart. Thirty yards of broad fence nine feet high! Singing, he

dipped his brush; passed it along the topmost plank; repeated the operation; did it again; compared the

small whitewashed space with the vast area of Aunt Polly’s unwhite-washed fence, and sat down

discouraged.

He began to think of the fun he had planned for this day and his sorrow multiplied. Soon the free boys

would be coming, tripping along all sorts of interesting expeditions and they would make fun of him for

having to work. The thought burned him like fire.
