Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Which of the following items is not something that Ben Rogers offers to Tom so he can help paint the fence?

Answer: A marble

Alfred Temple offers Tom the marble. Ben sings about the other items in "Smart Like That," when Tom tricks the boys into whitewashing the fence by telling them it isn't really that much work.

2. What does Tom like best about the Bible?

Answer: The lickin's

Tom then proceeds to sing about his favorite fights in "In the Bible." It sounds great to the church congregation...until he mentions Robin Hood and the Sheriff of Nottingham.

3. What song starts the second act when the children get out of school for the summer?

Answer: Ain't Life Fine

The song starts out with Mr. Dobbins saying "Ten seconds...five seconds...have a nice summer." The kids sing about how great summer is while their parents complain about the heat and all the work they have to get done.

4. Before Aunt Polly comes in to sing the Reprise of "This Time Tomorrow," what does Tom have a dream about?

Answer: Getting stabbed by Injun Joe

Tom's yelling is what makes Sid think that the house is on fire, and it also brings Aunt Polly into the scene to comfort him with her song.

5. What is the name of the treasure that Injun Joe is searching for?

Answer: Murrel's gold

Muff finds the map to the gold, but Injun Joe decides to find it for himself. The map says that it is buried in a place with 22 rooms and is under the cross.

6. When Tom pretends to not be able to walk, how does Sid trick him into moving?

Answer: He tells Tom that Becky Thatcher is coming up the path

Tom hops out of bed to go look out the window so he can see her, but he soon realizes that Sid tricked him when Sid tells him what a relief it is to him to see that his legs are working.

7. Before Aunt Polly and Judge Thatcher sing "Raising a Child by Yourself," what troublesome thing does Aunt Polly say Tom did?

Answer: Put her Sunday clothes on a dead pig

She says this after Judge Thatcher tells her that people say boys are easier to raise. But they don't know Tom...

8. Who gets killed in the graveyard?

Answer: Doc Robinson

Injun Joe gets mad at the Doc because he had him arrested five years earlier for asking for something to eat. Injun Joe frames Muff so no one will know who did it, but he doesn't know that Tom and Huck witnessed the whole thing.

9. What does Tom give to Becky as an "engagement" gift?

Answer: A doorknob

Tom sings to Becky about how much he loves to hear her say his name and she happily accepts the doorknob and promises never to love, or marry, anyone else. (The doorknob was one of the items Ben gave to Tom at the fence.)

10. When the boys are out playing Robin Hood, which three are called by their mothers to go to school?

Answer: Joe Harper, Benjamin Rogers, and Jim Hollis

Tom tells them "Just 'cause they're havin' school, don't mean we gotta go to school!" Ben replies that last time they tried that idea, his mother found out and his backside glowed in the dark.
