He had to whitewashing 30 yards of fence on a sunny Saturday afternoon. Ben Rogers wants Tom to Go Swimming, but he can't. As he passed the house where Jeff Thatcher lived, he saw a girl in the garden-a new girl he had never seen before. On Chapter 2 it said about on Monday morning and Tom Sawyer was miserable.

Long story short they going to plan a another adventure together. The author biography said "He was born Samuel Langhorne Clemens in a small Missouri town in 1835. After piloting river steamers along the Mississippi for four years, he began writing humorous short stories for newspapers. The Adventures of Tom Sawyer was Twain's first full-length novel. Many of thee adventures of Tom and Huck Finn actually happened to Twain in his boyhood. Even though Twain wrote this book mainly to entertain boys and girls, he hoped that adults would read and enjoy it, and recall their own childhood. He died in 1910. But he left the world a true picture of American life and the American spirit in his novels, short stories, and other writings." It said in the 1989 book.
