Tofu tells how he tricked his friends and didn't get caught. That tofu is not nice. What happens if your friends find out? They'll stop talking to you, right? Oh no! I'm so smart they'll never find out. Let me tell you the

story

of another smart boy named Tom Sawyer. Tom Sawyer lived with Aunt Polly and his half-brother Sid. He was an extremely intelligent child who loved mischief. But Tom also had very good luck, which always helped him get away with the pranks he got up to. One day, his aunt Polly was looking for him. Thomas! Thomas!

Where are you? She looked everywhere. She looked outside, at the interior patio of the house and at the kitchen, she also looked at her room. But he was nowhere to be found. She returned to her room and called him. Thomas! Stop hiding and come out now! But there was no response. Suddenly Aunt Polly saw something move under Tom's bed. She thought it was Tom. She bent down and quickly pulled up the quilt. A cat that Tom had hidden there emerged next to Aunt Polly. Surprised to see this, she screamed. Oh darling! Where did Tom get the cat?

Wait until I find that boy. Just as Aunt Polly was shooing the cat out the window, she felt someone behind her. It was Tom, trying to escape from the room. He was hiding in the closet. Aunt Polly grabbed him by the collar. Thomas! What were you doing hiding in the closet? You ate all the jam, didn't you? No, Aunt Polly. I haven't even touched the jam. It must have been Sid. Don't lie to me young man. I can see the jam all over your face. Tom quickly tried to wipe his face but it was too late.

Today I'm going to hit you with a stick. You have become too naughty. Aunt Polly! Look behind you! Aunt Polly looked around but there was no one there. It was just one of Tom's tricks. And this time she used him to get away from Aunt Polly because when she turned around again, he wasn't there! Oh this boy! One of these days I'm going to punish him. Tom was so happy with himself for tricking Aunt Polly again that he decided to take the day off from school. Instead, she went to the river and bathed in it. At lunchtime he entered a nearby farm, stole fruit from there and ran away with the owner chasing him.

Just as he was running, he bumped into Sid. Sid saw Tom's wet hair and clothes and the fruits in his hands and realized that Tom hadn't gone to school, but he didn't say anything. When Tom got home, Aunt Polly was waiting for him and she was angry. Tom understood that Sid had told him everything. Thomas! Did you miss school again? No, Aunt Polly! Sid is lying! How did you know Sid told me something? Well, for once Tom was in trouble. He had no answer to Aunt Polly's question. Tomorrow is Saturday. You don't have school. You're not going anywhere.

Instead, you will whitewash the fence. The whole fence? Yes, the whole fence. That's your punishment. Tom had no choice, he couldn't argue with Aunt Polly. He didn't want to upset her more. But he was also angry. The fence would take up the entire Saturday. He went out into the yard and kicked the dust. At that moment he saw Sid enter. He quickly made a ball of mud and threw it at him. Aaah! Arrest! Help, Aunt Polly! Why did you have to say something to Aunt Polly? Tom threw a few more mud balls at Sid and then jumped over the fence and ran away.

He knew that he was already punished and that nothing worse could happen to him now. The next morning, when Tom came down to breakfast, he was greeted with a bucket of paint and brushes. Aunt Polly had taken the punishment seriously. So Tom had breakfast and went out into the garden to whitewash the fence. With a lot of effort he finished a little. That's when his friend Joe approached him. Hey Tom! Why do you work on a Saturday morning? Labor? Who said anything about working? Well, then why are you painting the fence? I do it because it's art.

Haven't you heard of art, Joe? Well, I have... but I never have. It's fun? Oh yes it is. Why else would I do it? Joe thought about it. It was true that Tom Sawyer would never do anything that wasn't fun. He asked Tom if he could try it too. Tom agreed to let Joe do just a small part in exchange for 3 marbles. Joe thought 3 marbles was too much, but he agreed. He wanted to try art. A while later his friend Jim arrived. He saw Tom resting under the tree and Joe painting the fence. He went to Joe.

What are you doing José? It's art. I paid Tom 3 marbles to let me do it. 3 marbles! It's so good? Yes very good. Jim ran to Tom immediately and asked him if in exchange for his bait he could also whitewash the fence. Tom feigned some reluctance but he agreed. And so Tom's other friends came and thought painting the fence was fun. They paid Tom with trading cards, candy, and even a catapult to give him a chance to paint the fence. By noon the whole fence was painted and Tom was a rich boy. He hid the treasures from him and went to his aunt.

It's done! That? Incredible! Let me see. Aunt Polly took Tom with her to see the fence. In fact, that's how it was done. And it was done very well. How does he do it? Anyway his punishment is over. Now I'll have to let it go. I hope he doesn't do any more mischief. But as always, when Aunt Polly turned to tell Tom that his punishment was over, he was already gone. The next day was Sunday and Tom went to Sunday school. When he got there, he saw a new girl and fell in love with her. He desperately wanted to impress her.

He thought of a way to prove that she was better than the other boys. He went with one of the smartest

kids

in the class. And he bought all of his yellow bills in exchange for the treasure that he had won yesterday from his friends. Yellow tickets were awarded only to those

children

who had learned all the Bible verses. Usually, only older

children

could get the yellow tickets. When you had enough yellow bills you could exchange them for a Bible. The Minister asked the class. Does anyone have enough yellow bills for a Bible? Nobody had that many tickets.

Except Tom who raised his hand. Everyone, including the Minister, was surprised. Tom was the naughtiest boy they knew. How could he have learned all the Bible verses? The Minister understood that this was one of Tom's tricks. And he decided to put it to the test. Well done Tom! Please come here and pick up your Bible. Plus, as is tradition, when you win your Bible you get to recite three of your favorite verses. Tom was stumped! Three verses and he didn't even know one! He fumbled. Umm…umm… The whole class laughed at him, understanding that naughty Tom had gotten himself into a big soup this time.

Do you still think they'll never catch you? Oh no, aunt! I have to go tell my friends the truth and apologize to them immediately!
