He picked up the brush and started painting slowly and carefully．Soon, his friend Ben Rogers appeared, eating an apple．Tom pretended(假装)not to see him．

　　“Tom! ” Ben said．“Why are you working? ”

　　“Oh, it's you, Ben, ”Tom said, “I didn't notice you．”

　　“I'm gong for a swim, ” Ben said, “but you don't’ want to come．You want to work, don't you? It's much nicer! ” Ben laughed loudly．Tom looked seriously at Ben and said．“What is work? What do you call work? ”

　　“Isn't that work? ” Ben asked．

　　“Well, no．Does a boy get the opportunity to paint a fence every day? You’ve never painted a fence, have you? Auntie says I have to do it with great care! ’

　　“Pleas, Tom．Let me do a little, ” said Ben．

　　“No, Ben．If you do, you'll do it wrong．You can't paint very well．If it was the back fence wouldn't mind, but it isn't．”

　　“I won't do it wrong．I'll be really careful．I'll give you my apple．” Tom gave him the brush and paint with a sad face, but in his heart he was glad, His trick had worked．[来源：Z*xx*k．Com]
