Who came first near the fence? Did he help Tom Sawyer?​

Answer 1

Ben was the first boy who came near the fence to take over Tom's painting.

Explanation:

• Aunt Polly asked Tom to whitewash the whole fence bit he wanted to do the fishing and have fun around.
• As he was trying to pain the fence, Ben showed up and Tom thought it was good to give Ben his task.
• So, he tempted Ben to do the whitewashing and told him that he will get a reward.
