Chapter 44.Stanley is trying to sleep but he could hear the wreck room, showers and the sound of dinner
Zero whispering for him to wake up. He didn't think he'd fallen asleep. If he had, he thought it must have just been for the last five minutes. Although, when he opened his eyes, he was surprised how dark it was.
Stanley stuck the shovel into the dirt at the bottom of the hole and stepped on the back of the blade. He felt it sink beneath his weight. He scooped out some dirt and tossed it off to the side. Then he brought the shovel back down.Zero watched for a while. "I'm going to try to refill the water jars," he said.
Thank you boys you've been a big help
Stanley jumped at the sound of Zero's voice. He hadn't heard him approach.Zero handed down a box of cereal. Stanley carefully poured some cereal into his mouth. He didn't want to put his dirty hands inside the box. He nearly gagged on the ultra-sweet taste.
“I think I might have found the treasure chest," he said. His voice was filled more with astonishment than with excitement."Really?" asked Zero."I think so," Stanley said.”
“He gathered his remaining strength, and tried to pull himself up out of the hole. Suddenly, a bright light was shining in his face."Thank you," said the Warden. "You boys have been a big help.”
