Alright, I apologize for any confusion.

In The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, author Mark Twain created the quick-witted and incorrigible character of Tom Sawyer. Whatever his Aunt Polly tells Tom to do, Tom wants to do the opposite. One fine Saturday, Aunt Polly orders Tom to paint their front fence with whitewash. Tom is desperate to get out of the chore and quickly figures out how to bamboozle the neighborhood boys into doing it for him. By acting absorbed in his task and feigning reluctance to let anyone else take the paintbrush from him, Tom makes the job appear quite desirable. Before long, the other boys have fallen for the deceit and are begging to do Tom's chore.
