his own shovel. The lake bed was full of holes. Mr. Pendanski tells them that
Mr. Sir will come later with a watertruck, and if they find anything interesting
they should give it to Mr. Sir or Pendanski and if the Warden likes it they get
the rest of the day off. The story of Elya Yelnats and his great love for a
pretty, but stupid, girl named Myra in Latvia. Another man called Igor also
loved her and brought his fattest pig to her father for Myra. Elya Yelnats got
advice from Madame Zeroni who told him to carry a piglet every day up to a
mountain to a certain stream, and sing a certain song to it. On Myras 15th
birthday, Elya was to carry Madame Zeroni up the mountain and sing to her,
while she drinks from the stream, or his family would be cursed for eternety.
Elya did it, except on the last day he bathed and brought the pig to Myra's
father, who said both pigs were the same.Myra couldn't decide between the
two men, so she had them pick a number. Elya gave the pig and went to
America as a deck hand. He never did carry Madame Zeroni up the
mountain, and remembered it later. Elya met and married a woman in
America, and they translated the song into English. Stanley finished his first

that he doesn't see very well, and can't find anything. He says it isn't fair that
a new boy should find things and get a day off. Stanley thought it was

decided that he was happy with his nickname, Caveman. As he dug more,
he imagined getting revenge on his old schools bully.

discussing their lives. Mr. Pendanski says that you can accomplish anything

something glisten in the dirt, it is a gold tube, engraved with an outline of
a heart and the letters KB on it. He tries to think of some way out of giving it
to X-Ray, but Zigzag saw him so he has to tell it to X-Ray. They thought it
