∙ 12y agoTom acts like it is SUPER fun to whitewash the fence. At first, he won't give up the job so it seems that he really wants to do it and he tells the other boys he decided to do it on his own. When, in reality, his aunt Polly made him. He even makes the other boys pay him so he'll let them do it.
