Capítulo 2, Página 5
The
brush
continued
to
move.
“Like
it?
Well,
I
don’t
see
why
I
oughtn’t
to
like
it.
Does
a
boy
get
a
chance
to
whitewash
a
fence
every
day?”
That
put
the
thing
in
a
new
light.
Ben
stopped
nibbling
his
apple.
Tom
swept
his
brush
daintily
back
and
forth—stepped
back
to
note
the
effect—added
a
touch
here
and
there—criticised
the
effect
again—Ben
watching
every
move
and
getting
more
and
more
interested,
more
and
more
absorbed.
Presently
he
said:
“Say,
Tom,
let
me
whitewash
a
little.”
Tom
considered,
was
about
to
consent;
but
he
altered
his
mind:
“No—no—I
reckon
it
wouldn’t
hardly
do,
Ben.
You
see,
Aunt
Polly’s
awful
particular
about
this
fence—right
here
on
the
street,
you
know—but
if
it
was
the
back
fence
I
wouldn’t
mind
and
she
wouldn’t.
Yes,
she’s
awful
particular
about
this
fence;
it’s
got
to
be
done
very
careful;
I
reckon
there
ain’t
one
boy
in
a
thousand,
maybe
two
thousand,
that
can
do
it
the
way
it’s
got
to
be
done.”
“No—is
that
so?
Oh
come,
now—lemme
just
try.
Only
just
a
little—I’d
let
you,
if
you
was
me,
Tom.”
“Ben,
I’d
like
to,
honest
injun;
but
Aunt
Polly—well,
Jim
wanted
to
do
it,
but
she
wouldn’t
let
him;
Sid
wanted
to
do
it,
and
she
wouldn’t
let
Sid.
Now
don’t
you
see
how
I’m
fixed?
If
you
was
to
tackle
this
fence
and
anything
was
to
happen
to
it—”
