Aunt Polly
had Tom paint the fence on Sunday. Soon after Tom started to paint, an idea 16
to him. He smiled and
began singing 17 his work.
Just then
his friend Ben came 18 . He laughed when he saw Tom
painting. “What’s the matter, Tom? Does your aunt want you to work on such a
nice day?”
Tom did not
19 painting. “Work? Oh, no, Ben. You see,
painting is an 20 . First you must choose the right
day, then you must get the best paint and brush. But most important of all, you
must have the right 21 . Aunt Polly says that there isn’t a
boy in town who can paint this fence like me!”
Ben’s eyes
opened 22 . “Really, Tom? Let me try a bit.”
“Oh that
isn’t possible,” Said Tom. “My Aunt Polly is very sure of the 23 she wants her fence painted. Remember,
she chose me.”
“Come on,
Tom. I’ll give you half my apple if you let me paint,” Ben 24 . “Your aunt will never know the 25 !”
“Oh, you’re
wrong about that, Ben,” answered Tom. “She has very sharp 26 . And think how I would feel. 27 , she asked ME to paint her fence.”
“You may
have my whole apple,” Ben said. “Give me the paint brush now.”
“Well, if
you really think you can do it-here, 28 the brush but be very careful the way you
paint.” Tom 29 a bite into the red apple.
Half an
hour later, when his friend had painted four 30 of the fence, Tom said, “You’re doing it
quite well, Ben, but of course you need to do much more 31 you can really call yourself a painter.”
As each
hour passed, Tom’s painting became more 32 . Each friend who happened to walk
past took his 33 at painting a few boards-all for a price,
of course. “You have to make them think it’s 34 wonderful,” thought Tom. “They’d never
want to do it without 35 for it.”
