Answer 1

This question is from the Adventures of Tom Sawyer

Step-by-step explanation:

• Tom finds a new boy, Alfred who is well dressed and looks arrogant. He picks up a quarrel with him saying if he could lick him up. In the beginning it might seem humorous but it eventually leads to a fight between the boys.

• Tom win's the fight and Alfred walks home crying. Once when Tom's back is turned, Alfred throws stone on Tom. Tom chases the Alfred and waits outside his house.

• The fight is to be considered something serious because there was no point except showing once dominance over the other.
