The adventures of tom Sawyer
In Church.



Read the following text then find and  correct the mistakes.

THE BELL OF THE SMALL CHURCH BEGAN TO RING.
THE PEOPLE BEGAN to gather to hear Mr. Sprague speak to them. Mr. Sprague spoke to them in church every Sunday, and prayed with them. The Sunday school children now sat with their fathers and mothers, who would try to keep them quiet. Aunt Polly came, and Tom and Sid and Mary sat with her. Tom was placed as far as possible from the open window and the interesting summer scenes outside.
Other people came in and went to their seats. There were the old and poor. There were the middle aged. There were the pretty girls in bright summer clothes, and the young men, with their eyes following the girls.
 There was Mrs. Douglas, whose husband died. She was rich and good hearted, and she lived in the big house on Cardiff Hill. There was Mufferson, the “Good Boy” of the village. He came to church with his mother. All the other mothers talked of his goodness. All the other boys did not like him.
Now the bell was heard again, and then the church became very quiet. They were ready to begin.
They began with a song. After the song, Mr. Sprague read a very long list of meetings to come in the following week. Then he prayed.
He prayed for many things and for many people. He prayed for the church, and for the little children of the church, and for the other churches of the village, and for the village, and then for the whole coun­try, and for the Government, and then for people of far countries.
Tom did not enjoy hearing Mr. Sprague pray, but he knew he must remain quiet.

While Mr. Sprague prayed, a flying bug stopped on the back of the seat in front of Tom. It moved its front legs together, one over the other.
It put them around its head, and seemed to pull until Tom thought that the head would separate from the body. It used its back legs to clean its wings. And it did all this slowly, as if knowing that it was safe. And indeed it was safe. Tom did not dare to reach for it. He believed that his soul would be destroyed suddenly if he did such a thing while Mr. Sprague was praying.

Fourth chapter.

·       It organizes the paragraphs

·       It was the surprise of the year. The teacher knew that it was strange. He could not understand how it had happened. He did not believe that Tom had learned two thousand verses. He did not believe that Tom had learned twelve verses.

·       The gentlemen and the lady went to the front of the church and sat down there. Then the teacher told who they were. One gentleman was Mr. Thatcher, who lived in the village. All knew him. But one was his brother, the great Judge Thatcher. He had traveled, he had seen the world, he came from a large town twelve miles away.

·       The teacher wished that on this day he could give some boy or girl a Bible. He would have been proud to do that. The famous Judge Thatcher would know, then, that this was a fine Sunday school. But no child had enough yellow tickets.
At this moment, when hope was dead, Tom Sawyer came forward.
He had nine yellow tickets, nine red tickets, and ten blue tickets. It was like a storm coming from a clear sky. The teacher had not expected Tom to gather so many tickets in ten years, but here were the tickets.

·       “Now, children,” the teacher said, “sit up as straight as possible, and listen. That is what good little boys and girls should do.”While the teacher was talking, three gentlemen and a lady entered the church. The lady was leading a child. When Tom saw this small girl, waves of happiness went over him. He began hitting other boys, pulling their hair, doing everything to force the new girl to look at him and smile. He was quickly forgetting the water the woman threw from her window the night before.

·       These tickets were given for learning the Bible verses. A blue ticket was given for two verses. A red ticket was equal to ten blue tickets. A yellow ticket was equal to ten red tickets. And for ten yellow tickets, for learning two thousand verses, the Sunday school teacher gave the student a Bible.

·       It was a wonderful day when a boy or a girl received one of these Bibles. Perhaps Tom did not want the Bible. But he did want the wonderful experience of receiving it.

Third  chapter.


1. What was Tom given for doing his work?

2. What's Amy Lawrence look like?

3. Who is Tom in love whit?

4. What prank did Sid do?

5. What do Tom do when he stopped to hear voices on Thatcher's house?


·       As he passed Jeff Thatcher’s house, he saw a new girl in the gar­
den. She had blue eyes and yellow hair. She was beautiful. Tom had 
loved a girl named Amy Lawrence. A week ago she had said that she 
loved him. He had been happy and proud. But now in a moment she 
was gone from his heart.
He watched the new girl until she discovered him. Then he looked 
at other places, as if he had not seen her. And he began to jump, and 
dance, and walk on his hands, so that she would continue to watch 
him.

·       Later that evening his brother Sid was a bad boy. He took some 
sweets. But his aunt did not believe that Sid could be bad. She gave 
Tom the blow that she should have given to Sid. She learned the truth 
later, and was sorry. But she said nothing to Tom.

·       She went to see, and her surprise was very great. “You can work when you want to, Tom. But you do not often want to. Go and play. 
But remember to come home again.” And she gave him a large apple. She did not see him take a piece of cake as he passed through the Kitchen

·       He stopped near the Thatcher house. There was a light in one window. Was that the new girl’s room? He lay down on the ground below the window, with her flower in his hands. He would lie there and die in the cold. In the morning, she would look out the window, and see him.
The window opened suddenly. He heard the voice of a woman who worked for the Thatchers. She threw water out of the window, and it fell on him.
Tom jumped up and ran.

Second chapter.

Read the following text.

 (…) At the church door Tom stopped to speak to a friend. “Billy, do you have a yellow ticket?”
“Yes.”
“Will you sell it to me?”
“What will you pay for it?”
Tom offered enough, and received the ticket. Then Tom stopped other boys, and bought more tickets, some red and some blue. He was busy with this buying for about ten minutes. Then he went into the church.
These tickets were given for learning the Bible verses. A blue tick­et was given for two verses. A red ticket was equal to ten blue tickets. A yellow ticket was equal to ten red tickets. And for ten yellow tickets, for learning two thousand verses, the Sunday school teacher gave the student a Bible.

First chapter.

Read the following part of Tom Sawyer
Tom walked along the street, whistling like a bird. Then he stopped whistling. He had met a stranger, a boy a little larger than he was.
The boy’s clothes were new and good, and he was wearing shoes.
Tom would wear shoes and good clothes like these only to church on
Sunday. Tom looked and looked. The boy’s clothes seemed to become better and better, and his own clothes seemed to grow poorer.
Neither boy spoke. If one moved, then the other moved. But they
moved only to the side, in a circle. They remained face to face and eye
to eye. Then Tom said:
“I can beat you!”
“Try.”
“I can.”
“No, you can’t.”
“Yes, I can.”
“No, you can’t.”
“I can.”
“You can’t.”
“Can!”
“Can’t!”
A moment of quiet. Then Tom said:
“I could beat you with one hand.”
Do it. You say you can do it.”
“That hat!”
“Hit it off my head if you can.”
“I will.”
“You are afraid.”
“I am not afraid.”
“You are.”
“I am not.”
“You are.”
More moving in a circle. Now they were shoulder to shoulder, each trying to make the other fall back. And then suddenly they were both rolling in the dust. Each pulled at the other’s hair, and each hit the other’s nose.
