BOY FINDS SMALL FORTUNE IN WORK CAMP
Young boy, Stanley Yelnats, finds a small fortune at Camp Green Lake Detention Center on July 20th, 2000. Hector "Zero" Zeroini had fled the camp after a fight with a fellow camper. Stanley ran also after stealing the camp's water truck, and subsequently driving it into a 5'-by-5' hole. He followed a path to a mountain known as the "Big Thumb" but detoured to an overturned boat and found Hector. There Hector had found jarred peaches and they were eaten by the boys. Afterwards they gathered up the empty jars and traveled towards the Big Thumb. Along the way Hector fainted and Stanley carried him up the mountain. When they got there Stanley found mud, which led to fresh water. As he was digging for water, he found an onion. Then he realized there were more and he gave some to Hector. They had carried a shovel and bag filled with empty jars, but had dropped them when Hector fainted. Then Stanley went back to the hill and found the bag and shovel and carried them back up. Stanley made the water hole larger. Using the empty jars and Stanley's canteen, they carried water and placed onions in the bag. Afterwards they traveled back to the boat and rested away from the hot noon sun. After taking a wrong turn, they went back to the detention camp. Once they got there they hid and old hole. Once the sun went down they dug into the wall for the treasure. Upon finding the treasure, the warden showed up and demanded they gave her the chest. Then Hector, Stanley, the warden, Mr. Sir, and Mr. Pendenski realized there was a yellow spotted lizard nest in the hole. Then the AG and Stanley's lawyer showed up. The next morning before Stanley and Hector left, the group came out to say goodbye, the warden, Mr. Sir, and Mr. Pendenski were arrested and it finally rained at Camp Green Lake. The Zeroni curse that was caused by Stanley's no-good-dirty-rotten-pig-stealing-great-great-grandfather was finally lifted. Hector found his mom and reunited. Stanley and Hector became rich and no more foot odor for Clyde 'Sweet feet' Livingston thanks to a product called Sploosh made by Stanley's father, Stanley Yelnats III.
