The book “The Adventures of Tom Sawyer” begins with Aunt Polly, Tom's aunt, searching the house for Tom Sawyer. When she catches him, she asks him if he went swimming during school, which Tom denies. She discovers that he is lying, but before she can do anything, Tom rushes away. Tom Sawyer meets a new boy in the village, with whom he fights. On her way home, Aunt Polly catches him sneaking out and punishes him the next day. On Saturday, Tom has to paint the fence white. He was too lazy for others to do it for the price of whatever item they had with them. He then realizes that making things harder and harder to achieve makes them more desirable to others. When he told his aunt that he had completed the fence, she checked to see if he had done everything and was shocked. Tom received an apple as a reward and then went for a walk. During his walk, he saw a new girl at Jeff Thatcher's house, she is so angelic – like that, he forgets the girl he loved, Amy Lawrence.
