22、ve got to dig deeper. A reader myself, I have noticed 4 importanttraits of Tom that I believe has contributed to his magic.Firstly, Tom knows far too well how people think. Remember how Tom got Rodgers Ben paint the fence for him?When Ben teasedHi-yi! You re up a stump, aint you?, Tom gave no answer
