CHAPTER FOUR READING
Joyce wanted to encourage students to read more famous books.
So,in her newspaper,
she printed this funny story from a book called The Adventures of Tom Sawyer
by Mark Twain.Tom Sawyer Paints The Fence Saturday morning came
and everything was bright and fresh.
Every boy in town was happy,except Tom Sawyer.
Tom stood on the sidewalk with a bucket of white paint
and a brush with a long handle in his hands
He looked at the fence that his aunt had told him to paint and felt very depressed
It was thirty yards long and three yards high!
He dipped his brush in the paint and painted a corner of the fence.
Then he stood back and looked at it.
The section that was painted was so small,
and the unpainted section was so big!
He sat down under a tree to have a rest.
He began to think of all the games which he had planned for the day.
Soon the boys who were free would come along and make fun of him.
But just then,he had a wonderful idea.
He picked up his brush and went back to work.
Ben Rogers came along the road,singing happily and carrying an apple
He stopped and looked at Tom.
Tom went on painting and ignored Ben.'I'm going swimming,'
said Ben.'Do you want to go swimming,Tom? But I guess you can't.
You have to stay and work,don't you?'Tom went on painting.
'Work?' he said.'This isn't work.I'm enjoying myself.
Does a boy get a chance to paint a fence like this every day?'
Ben thought about this.Tom went on painting,carefully.
Sometimes he stopped,stood back to look at the fence,
and then added a bit more paint in just the right place
Ben was watching Tom's every move
He was getting more and more interested.After a while
he said,'Tom,will you let me do some painting?'
Tom thought about it,and said,'No,Ben,I can't.You see,
Aunt Polly wants it to be done properly.
I'm the only one who can do it right.'Oh,please,Tom,'
begged Ben.'I can do it.I'll be really careful Just let me try.
I'll give you half of my apple.I'll give you all of it!'
Well,all right,Ben,'said Tom.'But you must be careful.'
He gave Ben his brush with worry on his face but joy in his heart
He sat down again under the tree,and started to eat the apple
that Ben had given him.All day,
boys came to make fun,but they ended up staying to paint.
When Ben got tired,Billy Fisher was waiting.
He gave Tom a kite for a chance to paint.
Then Johnny Miller offered him twelve marbles,and so on.
By late afternoon Tom had gained all sorts of toys,
and the fence had gained three coats of paint
Later Aunt Polly came to look at Tom's work.
She was so pleased when she saw the painted fence that she gave Tom a large cake!
