Answer:

In this part of the story Aunt Polly has attributed Tom the task of whitewashing her fence. Of course Tom would rather be out fishing, swimming or just hanging out with his pals, but he has been 'conscripted.' One boy has already come by (on his way to the swimming hole), so when Ben shows up, Tom has already worked on a plan. He first ignores Ben's teasing him, then looks up finally to say he hadn't even noticed him. When Ben asks if it's not "work" that he's doing, Tom hesitates and then states that maybe for some it is but whitewashing suits him just fine. Then when Ben wants to have a go at it just to see what he's missing, Tom refuses but finally "mellows." He gets so convincing about all the fun he is having that before the afternoon is over, he has bartered turns at whitewashing with all the boys that come along in exchange for "boy stuff" that any kid his age would covet:
