The Best Fence Painter

It’s justly the most celebrated and amusing episode from Tom Sawyer: the unforgettable chapter when Aunt Polly orders Tom to whitewash her huge fence before he can go fishing. Lucky children will have the joy of experiencing it all for the first time–Tom’s wily idea, his friends’ gullibility, and a job well done with no effort on the hero’s part–thanks to this delightful, simplified version.
