Each one paid to be allowed to work. In the middle of the afternoon, Tom was very rich. He had many playthings, a small cat with one eye, a piece of broken blue glass, and much more.

And the other boys in the village would have owned nothing. TWAIN, Mark. The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. Connecticut: Hartford, 1876, p. 7.
