Read the text about Tom Sawyer carefully!

Tom Sawyer was a funny and athletic boy who lived in St. Petersburg, near the
Mississippi River, in 1876. He liked playing outside with his friends. He lived in a house with his
aunt Polly and his little brother Sid. His best friend was Huckleberry Finn.
Aunt Polly was a very strict person, so every time Tom's behaviour was bad, she
punished him. Sometimes she hit him with a cane, other times she slapped him with her hand.
One particular time, she found he had eaten a whole jar of jam. So she decided to
make him paint the house's fence. Tom thought that it was very unfair!. The fence was huge!.
And he had to paint it twice!.
Tom began painting the fence with a brush. While he was painting, a boy came down
the street. It was Tom's friend, Jim. Jim laughed at Tom when he saw him working. But Tom
was very clever and had an idea. He told Jim that painting was a very hard job, that he loved
doing it, and that his aunt only trusted him to do it. Jim asked one more time, and when he was
losing hope Tom agreed. But Jim had to pay him!
Jim only had an apple, so he gave it to Tom. Tom was very happy!. He didn't have to
work and was being paid. Other boys paid to paint too! And they were making a line to have the
chance of painting. Tom was a very good actor!.
In the of the afternoon Tom had got another apple, a horn, a piece of broken blue
glass, a key, a tin soldier, a piece of chalk, a slingshot, and many other things!. And the fence
was painted thrice! Tom felt very cheerful!.
