Saturday morning
Saturday morning was fresh, and the world was full of happy life. The
flowers and trees were very beautiful that morning. Tom wanted to go to Cardiff
Hill, beyond the village; but he came out of the house sadly. He had a brush in one
hand and a bucket in the other. The bucket contained a lot of whitewash and Tom
had to use it on the fence. It was thirty yards long and nine feet high. Life was very
sad for Tom. He put the brush into the whitewash and moved it across the wood.
Then he looked up and saw Jim. Jim was carrying a bucket. He was going to get
the day’s water at the pump. Tom remembered that there were other boys at the
pump. Jim could talk to them. But there were no other boys at the fence. “Jim!”
Tom called. “I’ll get the water if you help me with this paint”. Jim said no. “The
old lady said I mustn’t paint the fence,” he replied. “She said I must get the water.”
“Oh, she always talks like that”, Tom cried. “Give me that bucket. Let me bring the
water. I’ll give you a marble, Jim”. “A marble!” Jim said. He was less certain now
because he liked marbles. “But I’m afraid of the old lady”, he said.
