from The Adventures of Tom Sawyer
by Mark Twain

SATURDAY morning was come, and all the summer world was bright and fresh, and brimming with life. There was a song in every heart; and if the heart was young the music issued at the lips. There was cheer in every face and a spring in every step . . . Tom appeared on the sidewalk with a bucket of whitewash and a long-handled brush. He surveyed the fence, and all gladness left him and a deep melancholy settled down upon his spirit. . . .
He began to think of the fun he had planned for this day, and his sorrows multiplied. Soon the free boys would come tripping along on all sorts of delicious expeditions, and they would make a world of fun of him for having to work—the very thought of it burnt him like fire. . . . At this dark and hopeless moment an inspiration burst upon him! . . .
He took up his brush and went tranquilly to work. Ben Rogers hove in sight presently—the very boy, of all boys, whose ridicule he had been dreading. Ben's gait was the hop-skip-and-jump-proof enough that his heart was light and his anticipations high. He was eating an apple, and giving a long, melodious whoop, at intervals, followed by a deep-toned ding-dong-dong, ding-dong-dong, for he was personating a steamboat. . . .
Tom went on whitewashing—paid no attention to the steamboat. Ben stared a moment and then said: "Hi-Yi! You're up a stump, ain't you!"
No answer. Tom surveyed his last touch with the eye of an artist, then he gave his brush another gentle sweep and surveyed the result, as before. Ben ranged up alongside of him. Tom's mouth watered for the apple, but he stuck to his work. Ben said:
"Hello, old chap, you got to work, hey?"
Tom wheeled suddenly and said:
"Why, it's you, Ben! I [wasn't] noticing."
"Say—I'm going in a-swimming, I am. Don't you wish you could? But of course you'd [rather] work—wouldn't you? Course you would!"
Tom contemplated the boy a bit, and said:
"What do you call work?"
"Why, ain't that work?"
Tom resumed his whitewashing, and answered carelessly: "Well, maybe it is, and maybe it ain't. All I know, is, it suits Tom Sawyer."
"Oh come, now, you don't mean to let on that you like it?" The brush continued to move.
"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?" . . .
"Say, Tom, let me whitewash a little."
Tom considered, was about to consent; but he altered his mind:
"No—no—I reckon it wouldn't hardly do, Ben. You see, Aunt Polly's awful particular about this fence . . . it's got to be done very careful; I reckon there ain't one boy in a thousand, maybe two thousand, that can do it the way it's got to be done."
"No—is that so? Oh come, now—lemme just try. Only just a little—I'd let you, if you was me, Tom."
"Ben, I'd like to, honest…but Aunt Polly—well…[if] you was to tackle this fence and anything was to happen to it—"
"Oh, shucks, I'll be just as careful. Now lemme try. Say—I'll give you the core of my apple."
"Well, here—No, Ben, now don't. I'm afeard—"
"I'll give you all of it!"
Tom gave up the brush with reluctance in his face, but alacrity in his heart. And while the late steamer Big Missouri worked and sweated in the sun, the retired artist sat on a barrel in the shade close by, dangled his legs, munched his apple, and planned the slaughter of more innocents. There was no lack of material; boys happened along every little while; they came to jeer, but remained to whitewash.

Colleen was failing Spanish. Now the midterm test was only two weeks away, and if she didn't get at least a B, she would fail the class and lose her place on the lacrosse team.

But after a week of studying nonstop, Colleen still didn't understand the material. Finally, she asked Lucinda if she was still willing to tutor her. Lucinda agreed, and the two spent most of the next week studying together. Colleen received a B+ on the test and was able to pass the class and stay on the team. Colleen thanked her tutor profusely, but Lucinda just shook her head and smiled brightly, saying that's what friends are for.

Written like this “Someone’s mother has four sons North,West and South.What is the name of the fourth son. I see here it says the answer is Someone but “what is the name of the son.” Is a statement it has a period not a question mark and as far as the “someone’s mother has four sons” you could say Sherry is someone’s mother without the child’s name being someone so some people think the answer as the it is written would be That the forth son’s name is What . Which makes sense to me so does the answer change depending on if it ends with a period or a question mark ❓
