Chp.7-9-Daven Boykin In these chapters we learn a lot about Stanley’s no-good-dirty-rotten-pig-stealing-great-great-grandfather and a little of the things that are happening at Camp Green Lake. These chapters start out as Stanly on his first day on the job of digging a 5-foot deep and 5 foot wide hole, and as he is digging he thinks about his great great grandfather named Elya Yelnats who was born in Latvia. Elya was fifteen when he fell in love with a beautiful but empty headed girl named Myra Menke In two months Myra will be fifteen and her father thinks that that is a good time for Myra to get married. One day Elya went to Myra’s father to ask if he could marry her, but there is another man there named Igor barkov he was the pig farmer. After the boy and the man where at Myra’s house Myra’s father asked them what they have for him to marry his daughter. Igor said he’ll trade his fattest pig to marry Myra, but when Elya said that he has a heart full of love Myra’s father said he’d rather have the pig. Instead of going to play with the other boys wrestle in the mud Elya would go to Madame Zeroni. When he went up their Madame Zeroni saw that something was wrong so she asked him “ What’s wrong?” Elya answered back that he was in love with Myra Menke but Igor Barkov offered his fattest pig for her hand. Well Madame Zeroni said that she thought it was good because she thought that he was to young to get married, but when Elya retorts back and says he loves her Madame Zeroni says that Myra’s head is as empty as a flowerpot. Then when Elya retorts back again Madame Zeroni starts to ask questions like “Can she milk a goat? No!” “Can she push a plow? No!” After that Madame Zeroni said that Elya should go to America like her son, but Elya disagrees. Finally Madame Zeroni said she’d give him a pig that the mother pig wouldn’t let him get any milk and that it was going to die. After Madame Zeroni gave him the pig she told him to carry the pig to the top of the mountain and let it drink some of the water from the stream and when you are doing that you will sing a lullaby to him and every day you will get stronger because of caring the pig up the mountain and the pig will get fatter from drinking from the stream. Then on the day when it is time to go and try to get Myra’s hand you will carry the pig up the mountain one more time to drink from the stream and sing the lullaby. After that Madame Zeroni said all those directions she wanted one more thing from Elya and that was to carry her up the mountain let her drink from the stream and sing the lullaby to her and if he didn’t he and his family would be cursed for eternity. At this time in the chapters Stanley’s hole is three feet deep, but it was really at the center at the hole. Stanly could already feel the rays of heat on his neck even know the sun just came over the horizon. As Stanly went and picked up his water bottle with his blistered hands he noticed that every ones hole was bigger than his. Suddenly Stanly saw a dirt cloud and watched it come towered him and he noticed everyone else was watching it to. When the dirt cloud came closer he could make out a red pick up truck in it. When the red pickup truck got to them the boys went and got a refill of water from Mr. Sir. Meanwhile while Stanly was digging his hole again he daydreamed more of his great-great-Grandfather. Every day Elya took the pig up the mountain and did what Madame Zeroni told him to do. Every day the pig got fatter and Elya got stronger. Finally it was Myra’s birthday, but Elya didn’t take the pig up the mountain one more time like Madame Zeroni told him to because he didn’t want to smell like pig at Myra’s. So he took a bath instead. After that he took his pig to Myra’s. When he got there Igor Barkov was there to. After the pig weighing was done it was a tie. At this time Stanly had blisters everywhere on his hands he tried to block the pain of it by shoveling with his hat on them but the hat kept slipping up and down. Now we get back to Elya. If only Elya listened to Madame Zeroni and taken the pig up the mountain one more time then he would of won, but he didn’t finally Myra’s father let his daughter choose whom she wanted to marry (after Elya convinced him to). Alas Elya got mad and ran off because he thought Myra loved him, but she didn’t pick him. She did the 1-10 trick and whoever got to the closest to the number she is thinking of will win her hand. When the next water truck cam Mr. Pendanski was driving it. The truck also bought sack lunches for them Stanly got a baloney sandwich potato chips and a big cookie. Meanwhile after Elya ran away from the Myra’s house he wondered through town. As he walked through town Elya finally agreed with Madame Zeroni that Myra’s head was as empty as a flowerpot. As Elya was walking through town he saw some men working and a sighn saying, “Deck hands wanted. Free passage to America.” So Elya decided to get on the boat and go to America, but when the boat was set to sea Elya remembered that he broke the promise he made with Madame Zeroni. Meanwhile at Camp Green Lake Stanly noticed that Zero the smallest kid in group D had finished with his hole. When Zero got out of the hole he spit in it and headed back to camp. Stanley watched as one by one the boys left, spat in their hole, and go back to camp. At America Elya learned how to speak English. In America Elya fell in love with a girl named Sarah Miller and she could do all of the things Myra couldn’t do. Elya kept on looking for Madame Zeroni’s son in America, but he couldn’t find him. At last (after the barn was burnt down the third time) Elya told Sarah about his promise he broke with Madame Zeroni and that he was cursed forever. After that Sarah asked Elya to sing the pig-lullaby to her and he did. One year later their child was born the boy was named Stanly and Sarah decided to change the words of the pig-lullaby to sing to Stanly. When she was done it phrased to this //“If only If only” the woodpecker sighs,” The bark on the trees were as soft as the skies.” While the wolf waits below hungry and lonely, crying to the moo-oo-oon “If only, If only.”// Back at camp Stanlies hole was 5 feet deep, but not wide enough. So he chipped off some more pieces and finally he was done with his hole. Then he heard the water truck coming he was happy it was coming because he wanted to show whoever was driving the truck that he succeeded on his first hole, but there was a problem. He couldn’t get out of his hole it was to big. Then he heard Mr. Pendanskis voice call his name. Finally he got out by making two-foot holes in the dirt. After Mr. Pendanski saw Stanlies hole he got back in the truck and took off. After that Stanly spat in his hole and went back to camp. In the next chapter we learn a bit about Yellow Spotted Lizards. They have exactly eleven dots on their backs, they grow to about 6 to 10 inches long, they have red eyes, and it has black teeth with a milky white tongue. Oh and another thing if you do see the Yellow Spotted Lizard and see its spots your probably dead. After Stanly took a shower he got his box of stationary and went to the wreck room and it was really a wrecked room the TV was broken, the furniture, the pool table and more. When Stanly was walking towered the couch he tripped over a leg the orange lump started getting mad at him, but luckily X-Ray and Armpit came to back him up, but they were using a weird name as they protected him it was Caveman. When they finally got away from the lump they started talking about the holes and how on your first day it was kind of fun because every kid wants to dig a hole once in their life. When the boys left and stopped crowding around Stanly he started writing his letter when he noticed someone was watching him it was Zero. Stanly told Zero that his Mom would be worried if he doesn’t write to her, but Zero didn’t seem to be worried about that. Zero just asked if the shoes Stanly was thrown in here for had red Xs on them. Stanly said yes then he heard someone calling Caveman and asking if he wanted to come to dinner he looked back and apparently he was the guy named Caveman…
