In Chapter Two of Mark Twain's novel "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" Tom has to whitewash (paint) a fence because he got into trouble. As Tom paints the fence, Jim comes along and Tom tries to get him to whitewash for him. One statement from Tom is "Say, JIm. I'll fetch the water if you whitewash some." Jim turned down the offer. After Tom's plan was rejected he started thinking of all the plans he had made for the day that were ruined. Then, a little boy named Ben came by and started making fun of Tom for "working". Tom made Ben think that whitewashing was something special and Ben then wanted to whitewash too! Ben wanted to whitewash so bad he even gave Tom his whole apple so Tom gave him the brush. Lastly, Tom became "rich" with all kinds of things from the boys who thought they were special for being able to whitewash the fence and taking care of Tom's punishment for him. That is what happened in Chapter Two of "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer".
