Holes summary
Three days after the incident with the Warden, Mr. Sir is still pouring Stanley's water onto the ground when he comes by with the water truck. Luckily, when Mr. Pendanski drives the truck, he feels sorry for Stanley so he gave him extra water for his canteen. That day, Mr. Sir comes by with the water truck and fills Stanley's canteen with water. But he takes his canteen into the truck for a minute where Stanley can't see what he's doing and brings it back. Stanley wonders what Mr. Sir might have put into his water. Trout Walker and his wife, the redhead Linda Miller, tie Kate up while she is sleeping. Trout has lost all his money and demands to know where Kate's outlaw loot is. Trout and Linda make Kate walk barefoot across the hot sand until Kate dies from the bite of a yellow-spotted lizard. There is thunder and lightning but no rain. During a flash of lightning Stanley thinks one of the mountains looks like a giant fist with a thumb sticking up. He thinks of how his stranded great- grandfather said he had found refuge on God's thumb. Stanley continues to worry about Zero Mr Sir comes with the truck to give them water, Stanley tries to drive the truck and crash to one of the holes and he gets out and ran away. Stanley walks towards the thumb mountain but is exhausted. He sees something in the dirt and finds that it is part of a boat named Mary Lou.
There is a hole under the boat and Zero is in it. Zero and Stanley wondered who is Mary Lou. Stanley digs in the hole and Zero sneaks into camp to get water and food. Zero finds frosted flakes, which he and Stanley both find revoltingly sweet after more than a week of eating only onions. Stanley and Zero finally dig up a suitcase and just as they are preparing to leave a light shines in their faces and they find the Warden standing in front of them.The Warden shines a flashlight on Zero, who is holding the suitcase until she sees that there is a deadly yellow-spotted lizard on the suitcase. Stanley realizes he is standing in a lizard's nest.
