[00:19.75]I really wish I could read some funny stories.
[00:24.32]Have you read anything by Mark Twain?
[00:28.68]Yeah,one or two stories.
[00:32.34]Anything else? No,that's all.
[00:37.30]Are his stories funny?
[00:40.78]Yes.I want to read more by him.
[00:45.04]You can borrow a book my brother gave me for my birthday.
[00:50.60]What's it called?

[01:04.97]They didn't care for school very much,just like the writer himself.

[01:41.33]2. Read Tom sawyer (Part 1)
[01:47.28] Saturday morning came and the summer world was bright,and full of life.
[01:53.53]There was a song in the heart and on the lips of every child.
[01:59.17]Every face was cheerful.
[02:02.93]Everyone could smell the sweet flowers in the air.
[02:07.66]The hill above the village was very green.
[02:12.41] Tom appeared by a fence with a bucket of whitewash and a long brush.
[02:19.39]He looked at the fence.
[02:22.55]Wow! Ten metres of wood fence three metres high.
[02:28.11]Life to him seemed nothing but heavy work.
[02:32.79]Sighing,he began to whitewash the fence.
[02:38.25]After a while he stopped and sat down on a box.
[02:43.71]He was unhappy.
[02:46.95]Just then,Jim came running along with a water bucket and singing.
[02:53.71]Going to get water from the well that was outside town
[02:59.28]had always been work that Tom hated,but now he didn't think so.
[03:05.91]At the well,girls and boys would wait for their turn
[03:11.35]by resting,playing or quarrelling.
[03:15.79]Although the well was only a hundred and fifty metres away,
[03:21.74]Jim never not back with a bucket of water in less than an hour.
[03:28.20]Tom turned to Jim:
[03:31.72]"Say,Jim,I'll fetch the water if you whitewash some of this fence."
[03:38.38] Jim said:"Can't Tom.
[03:41.75]My aunt told me to go get the water and not to stop and play with anybody.
[03:48.00]She told me to mind my own business."
[03:52.36] "Oh,don't worry about what she said.
[03:56.43]That's the way she always talks.
[04:00.59]Give me the bucket--I won't be long. She won't ever know,"said Tom.
[04:07.54] "Oh,I don't dare,Tom.
[04:11.40]My aunt would beat me.Indeed,she would."
[04:16.65] Tom replied:"She never beats anybody.
[04:21.49]She scolds,but talking doesn't hurt--unless she cries.
[04:27.73]Jim,I'll give you a pretty marble."
[04:31.88] Jim thought about the deal.
[04:35.54]The marble was not all that Tom offered.
[04:40.69] "If you do," Tom continued,"I'll show you my hurt toe."
[04:46.33]Jim was only human--this offer he couldn't refuse.
[04:52.26]he put down his bucket,took the marble,
[04:56.93]and looked at Tom's toe with great interest.
[05:02.21]Suddenly Aunt Polly appeared.
[05:06.47]In the next moment,Jim began to cry.
[05:11.61]Then he was flying down the street with his bucket.
[05:15.98]Aunt Polly stood by the fence with a slipper in her hand.
[05:21.41]Now there was a big smile on her face.
[05:30.45]Lesson 47
[05:34.58]Read Tom Sawyer (Part 2)
[05:39.64]Tom laughed at Jim but only for a short while.
[05:45.50]He thought about the fun he had planned for this day.
[05:50.56]Soon the other boys would run by on all kinds of adventures.
[05:56.52]They would make fun of him for having ot work.
[06:01.25]The very thought of it burned him like fire.
[06:05.98]From his pockets,he got out his bits of toys,marbles and rubbish.
[06:13.84]Perhaps he could give these things to some of the other boys
[06:19.12]and they would do some of his work.
[06:23.06]Then he thought:No,these things would give him little playtime.
[06:30.01]He felt sad and lost all hope again.
[06:34.87]Suddenly,he got a great idea!
