Holes sentences 16-20
The other bodies in the room were little more than bags of flesh and bones, dumped across broken chairs and couches.
Stanley made his way across the room. "Hey, slide on over, Squid,"
Stanley crashed on the couch.
He had looked for a hidden camera in the shower. He hadn't seen anything, and he hoped the Warden hadn't either.
"Hey, keep it down, will you," groaned Zigzag. "I'm trying to watch TV."
Stanley glanced uncertainly at Zigzag, who was staring very intently at the busted television screen.
Four dug in the holes, and three tended to the wheelbarrows.
"We need your sharp eyes."
He carted away the excess dirt and dumped it into previously dug holes.
He could still see the tube in his mind. It seemed so familiar, but he just couldn't place it.
lose her patience
Later, as Stanley sat sprawled across an understuffed chair, he tried to think of a way to tell the Warden where the tube was really found, without getting himself or X-Ray into trouble. It didn't seem possible. He even thought about sneaking out at night and digging in that hole by himself.
"Aren't you going to read it to us?" asked Armpit. "Give him some space," said X-Ray.
Who knows? Maybe something good will come of this.
Your father thinks he is real close to a breakthrough on his sneaker project.
The landlord is threatening to evict us because of the odor. I feel sorry for the little old lady who lived in a shoe. It must have smelled awful! Love from both of us,
"What's so funny?" Zero asked. It startled him. He thought Zero had gone to dinner with the others.
Zero stared blankly at him.
"You've heard the nursery rhyme about the little old lady who lived in a shoe?" "No." Stanley was amazed. "How does it go?" asked Zero. "Didn't you ever watch Sesame Street?" Stanley asked. Zero stared blankly.
Stanley headed on to dinner. He would have felt pretty silly reciting nursery rhymes at Camp Green Lake.
As the days wore on, the Warden became less and less patient.
Meanwhile, the boys continued to dig later and later.
"What have you been doing down there?"
The Warden jabbed at Armpit with her pitchfork, knocking him backward into the big hole.
Stanley was down in the big hole, along with the other six boys.
He scooped up some dirt, and was raising it up to the surface when Zigzag's shovel caught him in the side of the head.
He collapsed. He wasn't sure if he passed out or not. He looked up to see Zigzag's wild head staring down at him. "I ain't digging that dirt up," Zigzag said. "That's your dirt." "Hey, Mom!" Magnet called. "Caveman's been hurt." Stanley brought his fingers up the side of his neck. He felt his wet blood and a pretty big gash just below his ear.
Mr. Sir made a bandage out of a piece of his sack of sunflower seeds and taped it over Stanley's wound.
Stanley felt a little dizzy. He could see a small pile of dirt. It took him a moment to realize that it was the dirt which had been on his shovel when he was hit.
five feet deep and five feet wide
If he jerked too quickly, he felt a throbbing pain just above his neck where Zigzag's shovel had hit him.
The remainder of his body hardly hurt at all. His muscles had strengthened, and his hands were tough and callused.
We've been running obstacle courses, and have to swim long distances on the lake.
Stanley turned, and felt his neck throb. "I don't like it when you read over my shoulder, okay?" Zero said nothing.
It builds character.
Zero stared at him with penetrating eyes.
He was hot, tired, and sore.
He needed to save his energy for the people who counted.
He barely had enough moisture in his mouth to seal and stamp the envelope. It seemed that no matter how much water he drank, he was always thirsty.
He was awakened one night by a strange noise. At first he thought it might have been some kind of animal, and it frightened him. But as the sleep cleared from his head, he realized that the noise was coming from the cot next to him.
Squid's head jerked around. He sniffed and caught his breath.
He didn't talk too much to any of the boys, afraid that he might say the wrong thing.
reddish brown color
He looked up from his hole to see the water truck and its trailing dust cloud.
His canteen was still almost a quarter full. He quickly drank it down, then took his place in line, behind Magnet and in front of Zero.
The air was thick with heat, dust, and exhaust fumes.
The truck pulled away.
Stanley was back in his hole, shovel in hand, when he heard Magnet call out. "Anybody want some sunflower seeds?"
a sack of seeds
He popped a handful into his mouth, chewed, and swallowed, shells and all.
The sack looked to be about half full.
He held both hands up, wiggled his fingers, and laughed.
"Coming your way, Caveman," said Zigzag.
He dug his shovel into his hole, and tried to turn over the dirt and bury the seeds.
What he should have done, he realized later, was knock one of his dirt piles back into his hole.
He kicked a dirt pile by Magnet's hole, then he moved toward Stanley.
As he tried to cover them up, he unearthed a corner of the sack.
"It's not anything," Stanley muttered. "Let me be the judge of that," said Mr. Sir. Stanley reached down and pulled up the empty burlap sack. He tried to hand it to Mr. Sir, but he wouldn't take it.
It felt good to sit inside the truck, out of the direct rays of the sun.
And as the truck bounced along the dirt, he was able to appreciate the air blowing through the open window onto his hot and sweaty face.
Stanley wondered if this was how a condemned man felt on his way to the electric chair
her gaze turned toward Stanley. He felt nothing but dread now. "Come in, I suppose," said the Warden. "You're letting the cold out." It was air-conditioned inside her cabin. The television was going. She picked up the remote and turned it off.
She was barefoot and wearing shorts. Her legs were as freckled as her face and arms.
"So what is it you have to tell me?"
Stanley took a breath to steady himself. "While Mr. Sir was filling the canteens, I snuck into the truck and stole his sack of sunflower seeds."
"Yes, but I think he's lying. I think someone else stole the sack, and Caveman is covering up for X-Ray or somebody. It was a twenty-pound sack, and he claims to have eaten them all by himself."
She unclasped the latch and opened the case.
It was a makeup case. Stanley's mother had one similar to it.
"Rattlesnake venom."
With a small paintbrush she began applying it to the nails on her left hand. "It's perfectly harmless . . . when it's dry." She finished her left hand. She waved it in the air for a few seconds, then began painting the nails on her right hand. "It's only toxic while it's wet." She finished painting her nails, then stood up.
He felt his skin tingle. The nail on her pinkie just barely touched the wound behind his ear. A sharp sting of pain caused him to jump back.
She stepped toward him and struck him across the face.
He had three long red marks slanting across the left side of his face.
Stanley didn't know if the redness was caused by her nail polish or his blood. It took a moment for the venom to sink in.
Suddenly, Mr. Sir screamed and clutched his face with both hands. He let himself fall over, rolling off the hearth and onto the rug.
"I liked it better when you smoked."
For a second, Mr. Sir's pain seemed to recede. He took several long, deep breaths. Then his head jerked violently, and he let out a shrill scream, worse than the one before.
Mr. Sir lay in the way. Stanley could see the muscles on his face jump and twitch. His body writhed in agony. Stanley stepped carefully over him.
Stanley was too frightened to speak.
"He's not going to die," the Warden said. "Unfortunately for you."
