Chapter Three - In this chapter, Tom first sees Becky Thatcher. To attract her attention, he begins a series of outlandish and absurd "show-offs" to little avail. At supper that night, when Aunt Polly is out of the room, Sid accidentally breaks the sugar bowl.
Chapter Four - Tom prepares for Sunday school with the help of his cousin Mary. As Tom struggles halfheartedly to learn his Bible verses, Mary encourages and entices him with the promise of “something ever so nice.” Tom then dresses for church, and he, Mary, and Sid hurry off to Sunday school, which Tom loathes.
