Tom appears to be enjoying the painting and this makes Ben become interested in painting.

Tom: “What do you call work?”

Ben: “Why ain’t that work?”

Tom: “Well, maybe it is, and maybe it ain't. All I know, is, it suits Tom

Sawyer.”

Ben: “Oh come, now, you don’t mean to let on that you like it?”

Tom: “Like it? Well, I don’t see why I oughtn’t to like it. Does a boy get a

chance to whitewash a fence every day?”

In the end, this leads Ben to change his mind about whitewashing the fence because Tom tricked him into believing that it was fun, the opportunity was limited, and that it was beyond his ability.

Explanation:

The above dialogue from the second chapter of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer speaks to the cunniness of the human and its gullibility. It also speaks to perspectives and how value derives from how we perceive things no how they actually are.

based on the biblical principle philippians 4: 13 "i can do everything through christ who strengthens me." i agree that it is through him that we are given the strength to cope with every situation.

and based on the biblical principle proverbs 16: 32 "better to get angry slowly than to be a hero. better to be even-tempered than to capture a city."   i agree with the author of the passage to the extent that the nobility of heart demonstrates the strength of a person. those who are contemptuous, get angry easily and show their anger toward others are really weak, but those who are noble and make sure to not hurt other people and their feelings are strong people.

you can infer that to folke dude was spying for allied nations
