Answer: A magnificent and great inspiration came after he returned his "straitened means" to his pocket. An inspiration to get others to do the work for him while paying Tom for the pleasure of painting the fence.

Explanation:

As Tom was looking at his belongings and put them away he had an inspiration to get the work done but not by himself. He went to whitewash the fence for his aunt and did this as though he was painting a masterpiece as an famous artist would paint.

When the boys started coming up to Tom to make fun of him and tease him for working, Tom explained it wasn't work and he was enjoying whitewashing the fence and acted like he didn't need help. The other boys all ended up whitewashing the fence and paying Tom for the pleasure of doing it.

Tom ended up with a whole apple, a dead rat, a kite, and other things that only boys would love.

Vinvika [58]

"Getting involved in games" refers to the ability of some people to involve their entire daily life within the game, being totally unaware of situations in the real universe and exchanging reality for the game.

"Playing games" refers to the ability to play periodically, but not to involve your whole life in it. In this case, a person likes to play games, but is not absent from reality, nor does he substitute his real life for digital.

The author chose the phrase "engage games" to represent how games have taken the place of real life, and can leave a person completely involved and conditioned to it.
