Tom was supposed to whitewash the fence as punishment on Saturday. He tried to get Jim to do it in exchange for a marble but Aunt Polly stopped him. Later, Tom convinced Ben Rogers to whitewash in exchange for an apple by telling him it was fun. Over the day, Tom got all the neighborhood boys to whitewash parts of the fence in exchange for various items, allowing Tom to sit back and watch while collecting treasures. By the end, Tom had three coats of whitewash on the fence from the boys' work.

2. On Saturday morning, Aunt Polly sends Tom out to whitewash the fence. Jim
passes by, and Tom tries to get him to do some of the whitewashing in return
for a “white alley,” a kind of marble. Jim almost agrees, but Aunt Polly
appears and chases him off, leaving Tom alone with his labor.
A little while later, Ben Rogers, another boy Tom’s age, walks by. Tom
convinces Ben that whitewashing a fence is great pleasure, and after some
bargaining, Ben agrees to give Tom his apple in exchange for the privilege of
working on the fence. Over the course of the day, every boy who passes ends
up staying to whitewash, and each one give Tom something in exchange. By
the time the fence has three coats, Tom has collected a hoard of miscellaneous
treasures. Tom muses that all it takes to make someone want something is to
make that thing hard to get.
Questions
1) What was Tom's Saturday job for punishment?
2) How did Tom escape his punishment of washing the fence?
3) What did Tom do instead of whitewashing the fence?
4) What was the reward tom got for whitewashing the fence?

PRONUNCIATION: FIND THE FIND THE MISTAKES AND
INCORRECT FHONEMES.
Saturday morning came. All the summer world was bright and fresh
and full of life. Tom appeared in front of the house with paint and a
big brush. He looked at the fence, and all joy left him. A deep sadness
settled upon his heart. The fence was long and high. He wet the brush
and moved it along the top board. He did it again, and did it again.
He looked at what he had done. The painted part was very, very small.
The whole fence was very large. He sat down. He felt that he could not
continue.
