Study Guide. By Louis Sachar. Previous Next. Chapter 30 Finally a reason to celebrate: it's Zigzag's birthday. In honor of the occasion not really , Stanley tries to figure out how long he's been at Camp Green Lake. Zero, in another display of crazy math power, instantly says it's been forty-six days.
Later, as he digs his hole, Stanley thinks about how much he's changed since he came to the camp. For one thing, he's stronger and much better at digging.
Oh, and luckily, Mr. Sir is giving him water again, too. Zero is still helping him out with his hole-digging in exchange for reading lessons, as they had agreed. But the whole situation makes Stanley awkward, and the other boys are getting pretty angry about it. They tease Stanley big time, saying that he's doing Zero a favor by letting him dig his hole, and mockingly asking if he'll let them dig his hole, too.
Pendanski comes by with the water truck, and X-Ray makes Stanley go to the front of the line for water and lunch: you know, since "[h]e's better than all of us" Ugh, bullying.
After they get their lunches, Zigzag continues to harass Stanley, saying he'll trade his cookie for a chance to dig Stanley's hole. Stanley pushes the cookie away, and in a not-so-equal response, Zigzag pushes Stanley.
X-Ray is watching and says that Stanley should be able to take care of himself, since he's bigger than Zigzag. Stanley is relieved to see Mr. And, apparently, they cause excessive bouts of farting, too. And what cinched it all for them was that Stanley, lying in the stream, started singing the family mantra "If only if only, the woodpecker sighs When the two of them went back to Camp Green Lake to dig up what the Warden had been looking for, they found it the hole where Stanley dug up Kissin' Kate's lipstick tube, marked by the head-shaped white boulder.
When they pulled out the chest, it was covered in yellow-spotted lizards. The Warden, Mr. Sir, and Mr. Pendanski found them moments later trapped in the hole. While trapped there, Zero noticed Stanley's name on the chest and asked Stanley if his first name was his last name backwards. When they arrived, they saw the boys trapped in the hole. The two boys eventually got out of the hole and when the Warden tried to take the chest from Zero, claiming it as her property, Zero yelled that the chest was Stanley's and that Stanley's name was on it, when he really had wrote his name on it, everybody was surprised that Zero could read.
Pendanski had destroyed Hector's file so that no one would know that Zero was ever there. While at Stanley's house, they decided half of the items in that chest go to Hector. Hector then used this money to hire a team of Private Investigators to find his mother, then they found Hector's mom and he went home safely. He and Stanley also became next door neighbors and was seen hanging out at a party at Stanley's new home, where he got to meet his hero Clyde Livingston and told him that he stole the shoes and Stanley didn't.

They are surrounded by desert and the only water is at the camp. Zero and Stanley pack water in the bottles and onions in the sack and plan to return to Camp in an attempt to dig up treasure and then escape. When Stanley finally opens the suitcase, he is surprised to find stock certificates, deeds of trust, and promissory notes which make him and Zero rich.
His mother, Mrs Zeroni, accidentally left him at Laney Park, and he waited for weeks for her to come back. Mrs Zeroni was looking for Hector, but Hector did not know this. In fact, Hector did not know if she was alive or not. While in the hole, the lizards crawl over Stanley but do not bite him.
The reason that the lizards do not bite either Stanley or Zero is because both boys have been eating nothing but onions for the past few days. ZigZag had accidentally struck Stanley in the side of his head with the shovel causing him to collapse in the hole. He knew exactly how much he would be expected to dig each day and he no longer had to worry about other shovels swinging past his face.
Why did Zero avoid the homeless shelters?
