He's too clever for me! Can't I ever earn? He's always playing tricks on me, and every time the trick is different! I ought to be ready and more carefull. Anyway, I hate beating him, my poor dead sister's boy! At the same time, if I didn't beat him, he wouldn't grow up to be a good man, He's very naughty and hates school. He may not go to school today; if he doesn't, I have to punish him severely. I'll punish him by making him work hard tomorrow. I've got to punish him in one way or another, although this breaks my heart», Tom did miss school that day. Moreover, be enjoyed his afternoon so much that he came home late.
