She did not finish, for by this time she was bending down and punching under the bed with the broom, and so she needed breath to punctuate the punches with.
She went to the open door and stood in it and looked out among the tomato vines and "jimpson" weeds that constituted the garden.
"It's mighty hard to make him work Saturdays, when all the boys is having holiday, but he hates work more than he hates anything else, and I've got to do some of my duty by him, or I'll be the ruination of the child."
While Tom was eating his supper, and stealing sugar as opportunity offered, Aunt Polly asked him questions that were full of guile, and very deep—for she wanted to trap him into damaging revealments.

Trip to Sundarban

Class X A
The Educational trip to Sundarban on April 17th has been successfully completed. There were a total of hundred students accompanied by three teachers. A State Transport Bus was hired to take us to a place called Dhaniakhali and back. At Dhaniakhali we boarded a ferry that showed us around the creeks and mangrove forests of the great ecological site.
The learning experience from the trip was not much, though there was a lot of fun and entertainment. The selection of the time of the trip was ill suited. Most of the wild animals were deep inside the jungles and could not be sited.
It being the time of the Bengali New Year, there was a lot of crowd and this frightened even the crocodiles away. Usually one gets to sight the crocodiles most easily. Thus I don't think we really learned very much.
We met a lot of local people and interacted with them. We asked them about the animals and their habitat. The people we met were really helpful.
We had to do a lot of running around at Dhaniakhali . None of us were aware of the place. Booking a ferry, negotiating the charges, arranging lunch was really hectic. I wish we hadn't had to do so many things.
On the whole the trip was good value! We love the experience. Since I had just finished reading Amitabh Ghosh's 'The Hungry Tide' the previous week, I found the trip even more interesting.
I hope we learn from our experiences and in the next trip we implement the things we have learnt.
<span>I believe that the search for knowledge is vilified because it could be perceived as a lack of trust in people of power. In most cases, there is information that is not available to the public for various reasons. People in power may choose to keep some information classified for safety reasons or because revealing the information may have a negative impact. While the reason for keeping this information secret may be for our own good, it is difficult for members of the public to trust that our leaders are not keeping information from us out of greed, or other negative reasons.</span>
