Aunt Polly: Tom! (нет ответа) Tom! (нет ответа) What’s gone with that boy, I wonder? You, Tom!
Aunt Polly: Well, if I get hold of you, I’ll …
Aunt Polly: I never did see the beast of that boy!
Aunt Polly: Y - o - u - u Tom!
Aunt Polly: There! I might have thought of that closet. What were you doing in there?
Tom: Nothing.
Aunt Polly: Nothing! Look at your hands. And look at your mouth. What IS that?
Tom: I don't know, aunt.
Aunt Polly: Well, I know. It's jam - that's what it is. Forty times I've said if you didn't let that jam alone I'd skin you. Give me that switch.
(skin – снимать шкуру, switch – прут, розга)
Tom: My! Look behind you, aunt!
Aunt Polly: What a boy! He has played so many tricks on me! I must make him work tomorrow, to punish him. It's hard to make him work Saturdays, when all the boys are having a holiday, but he deserves that!
Dance.

Tom: Jim, I'll bring the water if you whitewash some fence.
Jim: I can't, Master Tom. Old Missis, she told me I got to go and get the water and not stop fooling around with anybody.
Tom: Oh, that's the way she always talks. Give me the bucket. SHE won't ever know.
Jim: Oh, I can’t, Master Tom. Old Missis, she would take my head off me.
Tom: SHE! She talks awful, but doesn't hurt. Jim, I'll give you a stone. I’ll give you a white stone.
Tom: White stone, Jim!
Jim: My! That's a beautiful stone, I tell you! But Master Tom, I'm afraid of Old Missis…
Tom: And besides, if you agree, I'll show you my sore toe.
Aunt Polly: You, bad boys! You think you can pull me round your finger! Jim, rush to the well
Ben: Hi - hi! Here you are!
Ben: Hello, old chap, you got to work, hey?
Tom: Why, it's you, Ben! I didn't notice.
Ben: Say - I'm going swimming, I am. Don't you wish you could? But of course you'd rather WORK, wouldn't you? Of course you would!
Tom: What do you call work?
Ben: Why, isn't THAT work?
Tom: Well, maybe it is, and maybe it isn't. All I know, is it suits Tom Sawyer.
Ben: Oh come on, you don't want to say you LIKE it?
Tom: Like it? Well, I don't see why I mustn’t like it. Does a boy get a chance to whitewash a fence every day?
Ben: Say, Tom, let ME whitewash a little.
Tom: No - no - I think you can’t do it, Ben. You see, Aunt Polly's very serious about this fence - right here in the street, you know.
Ben: No - is that so? Oh come on, now – let me just try.
Tom: Ben, I'd like to, really; but Aunt Polly… What if you whitewash and anything happens?
Ben: Oh, I'll be very careful. Now let me try. Say - I'll give you the core of my apple.
Tom: Well… No, Ben, I'm afraid…
Ben: I'll give you ALL of it!
Billy: What are you doing on such a nice sunny day? Are you working?
Ben: Working? Ha - ha - ha! Does a boy have a chance to whitewash the fence every day?
Billy: Hmmm… Can I try?
Tom: I’m sorry, Billy. My Aunt Polly is very serious about her fence… I can’t let everyone whitewash it!
Billy: But what if I give you my kite?
Tom: Hmmm. Ok. Then you are after Ben. Ben, give him the brush.
Joseph: Mmm, Tom! Hello! Can I whitewash your fence?
Tom: Well, I don’t know…
Joseph: What if I give you a dead rat and this orange peel?
Tom: A dead rat? Not bad. Ben, it’s Joseph’s turn now.
Sid: Tom, I hear you let the boys whitewash the fence. May I try to? I will give a white marble.
Tom: A white marble? No, Sid, that isn’t enough.
Sid: And if I add a piece of blue bottle - glass?
Tom: That will do. You can take the brush.
Girl: Mmm, Tom! Hello! Can I whitewash your fence?
Tom: I’m sorry, girls are not allowed!
Girl: How many wonderful things you have, Tom! A dead rat, a piece of blue bottle - glass, a kite, a white marble, an apple, four pieces of orange - peel… Wow!
Tom: I’m sorry, Girl. I can’t talk to you any more. I must go to my Aunt Polly and show her the fence.

Little Sawyer had a pocket, E - I - E - I - O
And in that pocket was a kite, E - I - E - I - O
With a rat and kite, orange peels and glass,
White marbles, apples and different treasures
Little Sawyer had that wealth, E - I - E - I - O
