On Saturday there was no school. All the children were free from classes.
They were enjoying a quiet weekend. But things were different for Tom — he
had to work. He had to paint a fence around the garden of Aunt Polly’s house.
It was a very long fence...
Tom was standing there with a big bucket of white paint. He looked at the
fence, then at the bucket of white paint, then at the fence again. He did not want
to paint the fence! He wanted to be with his friends, to go swimming and fishing.
‘My friends will laugh at me when they see me with this bucket!’ he thought.
He started to paint, but after an hour he was tired. He was sad and did not
know what to do. Then he had an idea. He smiled and went on painting the fence.
Soon Tom saw his friend Ben Rogers. He was walking towards Tom and
he was making strange noises. ‘Sssh, sssh!’ he was saying. ‘Ting-a ling! I am
a steamboat on the Mississippi river!’
‘Sssh-Sssh — I am a steamboat!’ He didn't really sound like a steamboat, but
he enjoyed doing it.
There was a big red apple in Ben’s hand. He looked at Tom and said, ‘You are
working, and I am not! I am going to the river! I’m going swimming!’
‘Work?’ said Tom. ‘This isn’t work. This is pleasure!’
‘Do you like painting the fence?’ asked Ben. ‘Yes,’ said Tom, ‘I do!’ He stepped
back from the fence — there was a happy smile on his face — and painted again.
Ben watched him and said, ‘Let me paint the fence’. ‘No,’ said Tom, ‘you
don’t know how to do it. It’s a difficult job, I can’t let you do it.’
