Question

Tom was a young, imaginative and mischievous twelve-year old boy. Tom's mother had passed away. He was living with his Aunt Polly on the banks of the river Mississippi She loved him as much as she loved her sister. The aunt knew that "If you spare the rod you will spoil the child." She wanted to be strict or he would grow up lazy and be spoilt. One day the aunt thought to herself, “I'll make him work tomorrow. It's mighty hard to make him work on Saturdays when all the boys are on a holiday". The aunt had asked Tom to paint the fence. 0 n Saturday morning came; it was a bright day. The hill behind the village was covered with summer green. Tom appeared on the pavement with a bucket of whitewash and a long- handled brush. He surveyed the fence, thirty yards of broad fence and nine feet high. Life to him seemed hollow, and existence but a burden. Sighing, Tom dipped his brush and passed it along the top most plank. He began to think of the fun he had planned for the day, like going for swimming, and his sorrows multiplied. Soon the boys who were free would come tripping along and they would ridicule him for having work to do. The very thought of it upset him. At this dark moment he got a great, magnificent idea. He took up his brush and calmly resumed his work.
