Children were playing games and they played different roles. Tom gave up the brush with unwillingness on his face, but happiness in his heart. And while the "late ship Big Missouri" worked in the sun, the "retired artist" sat on a stone in the shade close by, shook his legs, ate his apple, and tried to fool the children. There were many such children; boys happened along every little while; they came to laugh, but remained to whitewash(粉刷) fences.
By the time Ben was tired out, Tom had traded the next chance with Billy Fisher for a kite. When he played out, Johnny Miller bought the chance with a dead rat and a line to swing it with—and so on, hour after hour. And when the middle of the afternoon came, from being a poor boy in the morning, Tom quickly became a rich boy. Besides the things mentioned before, he had twelve marbles(玻璃弹子), part of a Jew's harp, a piece of blue bottle glass to look through, a spool cannon, a key that wouldn't unlock anything, a box of chalk, a tin soldier, a couple of tadpoles, six firecrackers, a kitten with only one eye, a brass doorknob, a dog collar—but no dog, the handle of a knife, four pieces of orange peel, and an old window sash.
He had had a nice, good, free time all the while with a lot of friends, and the fence had been painted three times! If he hadn't run out of whitewash, he would have had everything that every boy in the village had.
Tom said to himself that it was not such an empty world. He had discovered a great law of the human action, without knowing it—namely, that in order to make a man or a boy want a thing, it is only necessary to make the thing difficult to get. If he had been a great and wise philosopher, like the writer of this book, he would now have understood that "work" means whatever a body has to do, and that "play" means whatever a body doesn't have to do. And this would help him to understand why constructing artificial flowers or performing on a treadmill is work, while playing soccer or climbing Mont Blanc is only amusement.
There are rich gentlemen in England who drive four-horse passenger coaches twenty or thirty miles on a daily line in summer, because it costs them a lot of money; but if they were offered money for the service, that would turn it into work and then they would resign.

The boy thought for a while over the change which had taken place around him, and then went to headquarters to report.
