Lesson 16 The Adventures of Tom Sawyer 1

Miss Liu wanted to encourage students to read famous books. So she showed them this humorous story from a novel called The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain.

Tom Sawyer Paints the Fence On Saturday morning, every boy in town was happy, except Tom sawyer.

Tom's aunt gave him a task of painting their fence. It was thirty yards long and three

yards high. He painted one board and surveyed his progress, and then he sat down to

have a rest.

Tom began to think of the games that he wanted to play. He knew the boys who were

free would soon come along and make fun of him. Just then, he had an idea. He

picked up his brush and went back to work.

Ben Rogers came along the road. He was singing happily and carrying an apple.

\" I'm going swimming,\" said Ben. \" Do you want to come? Oh ,you have to work,

don't you? what a pity!\"

\"Work? \" said Tom . \"This isn’t work. I’m enjoying myself. Does a boy get a chance to paint a fence like this every day?\"Then he went on painting. Ben watched Tom in silence. He became more and more interested.

After a while, he said ,\" Tom, will you let me do some painting?\"

Tom said, \" No, Ben, I can't. Aunt Polly warned me to do it well. I'm the only person that can do it right.\"

\" Oh, please, Tom,\" said Ben. \"I can do it. I'll be really careful. I'll give you half an apple. Wait, I'll give you all of it!\"

\" That’s a deal,\" said Tom. \" But you must be careful.\"

Tom 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.

When Ben got tired, Billy Fisher was waiting. He gave Tom a kite for the chance to paint. Then Johnny Miller offered him two toy soldiers.

Soon Tom had got many new toys, and the fence got three coats of paint. Aunt Polly was so pleased that she gave Tom a big apple! 一、重点单词。
