1. What happened when Tom saw little Jim?
Tom greeted Jim on seeing him. Jim had a pail in his hand to fetch water from the pump. Tom tried to escape whitewashing the fence by tricking little Jim into whitewashing it and himself going to fetch water, but he had to return to work after Aunt Polly whacked Jim.
2. What was Tom's brilliant idea?
He made the whitewashing work look the most tempting by pretending to be extremely enjoying and absorbed into it like an artist. His ideas was to trick other boys into it and get himself free.
Finally, all his friends joined in and finished the whitewashing of the fence.
3. Why was Aunt Polly too surprised to speak?
Aunt Polly was too surprised to speak as she could not believe that Tom has whitewashed the fence so perfectly with 2 additional coats.
4. Make a list of the treasure that Tom collected?
Tom's treasure was far much than ever before. He had:
- a couple of tadpoles
- a one-eyed kitten
- a brass door knob
- a knife handle
Not only this, he had a lovely lazy time, chatting with his friends.
