Chapter 01 ANaughty Boy, om Sawyer “ Tom, Tom, where are you?” Aunt Polly looked under the bed. As she did, a small boy jumped out of the closet. “ What were you doing in there?” asked Aunt Polly. “ Nothing, Aunt, ” answered Tom. “ You were eating jam again, weren't you?” said Aunt Polly. “ Oh, look behind you, Aunt, ” said Tom. Aunt Polly turned around, but there was nothing behind her. When she turned back she saw Tom running away. “ That boy knows too many tricks, she laughed.

Tom didn't go to school that afternoon. Instead, he went swimming and played with his friends. He and his friends pretended to be pirates. They chased each other through the long grass, in the mud and up the trees. When Tom returned home, his clothes were very dirty. “ Tom, what a mess! ” cried Aunt Polly. “ You didn't go to school today. I'll punish you. You must paint the garden fence tomorrow, said Aunt Polly angrily.

The next day was very hot. Tom looked at the fence and sighed, “ Oh, this is terrible. The fence is so big. Just then one of Tom's friendsBen came around the corner. Tom had a wonderful idea and began painting the fence. “ What are you doing?” asked Ben. “ I'm painting this fence. It is a lot of fun, ” answered Tom. “ Can I paint the fence?” asked Ben. “ Well, okay, but you have to give me something, " answered Tom. “ All I have is this dead cat, ” said Ben. Tom took the dead cat and gave Ben a paintbrush.

A little while later, some boys came along They saw Ben having lots of fun painting the fence. “ Can I paint the fence? I'll give you this apple, ” said one boy. “ Okay, ” agreed Tom. Soon, the other boys wanted to paint the fence. “ I can give you a glass of lemonade, ” said one boy. “ And I can give you an old knife” said another. Tom smiled and sat under a tree, eating his apple and drinking his lemonade. Aunt Polly was very surprised when she saw the painted fence. “ My Tom, you can work when you want to, can't you?” Tom smiled, but didn't tell her the truth.

Tom went out to play in the street. Just then he saw a new girl. She had beautiful blue eyes and long yellow hair. “ Oh, what a beautiful girl! I think I am in love with her, ” Tom said to himself. He stood on his hands and then did a cartwheel to show off. But the girl just went into her house. When Tom went back home, he learned about the new girl. Her name was Becky and she had just moved into Tom's village. For the rest of the day Tom could only think of Becky.
