The adventures of Tom Sawyer - 4

"I am sorry, Tom."
Tom said nothing. The paint brush moved up and down.
"Working for your aunt?" said Joe. "I'm going down to the river. I'm sorry you can't come with me."
Tom put down his brush. "You call this work?" he said.
"Painting a fence?" said Joe. "Of course it's work!"
"Perhaps it is and perhaps it isn't. But I like it," said Tom. "I can go to the river any day. I can't paint a fence very often."
