Tom was not really ill but he pretended to be ill
Answers
Answer:
The question refers to Tom, the main character in Mark Twain’s The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.
There was nothing wrong with Tom. The only problem was that he did not want to go to school. It was Monday morning, and the thought of an entire week of studies did not motivate him one bit to get ready for school. Instead he decided to pretend to be unwell so that he could get an off. So, he began groaning. His plan was to convince Sid (who was sleeping next to him) that he was in great pain. Sid went rushing to get Aunt Polly. When his aunt arrived, Tom told her that his toe hurt a lot and that one of his teeth was also loose. Unfortunately for him, she saw through his game and he had to attend school that day.
