tom sawyer paints the fence牛津英语九年级下的英语课文

On Saturday morning, every boy in town was happy, except Tom sawyer.

Tom's anut said he had to paint the fence. It was thirty yards long and three yards high! Tom painted a small corner, and then he sat down under a tree to have a rest.

Soon the boy who were free would come along and make fun of him. Just then, he had a wonderful idea. He picked up his brush and went back to work.

Ben Roers came along the road. He sang happily, with an apple in one hand.

' I'm going swimming, ' said Ben. ' Do you want to come? Oh, but you have to work, don't you?'

'Work? ' he said. 'I don't think that this is work. It's fun. Does a boy get a chance like this every day?'

Ben thought about this. Tom went on painting. Ben was watching Tom's every move. He was getting more and more interested.

After awhile, he said, ' Tom, will you let me do some painting? '
