He kept digging holes the past few days, and after a while, he actually found something. It was a small golden tube with initials written on it. He tried hiding it from X-ray but suddenly Zigzag saw that he had found something, and it was too late. Stanley felt like he had no choice but giving it to X-ray, so that's what he did. X-ray decided to pretend he found it the day after so he would get a whole day off. The next morning, when X-ray told mr Pendanski he found the tube, the Warden showed up for the first time and gave him the rest of the day off.
The next week and a half all the boys had to dig where X-ray said he found the gold tube, but neither of them found anything, since it wasn't the actual place where the tube was found. But Stanley still didn't say anything, he still avoided getting into trouble with the boys.
One day when they were digging, Magnet stole a sack of flower seeds from mr Sir's truck. They passed the bag around, and when the bag came to Stanley, something suddenly happened. The sack somehow fell into Stanley's hole, and all the seeds fell out. At the same time, mr Sir came back with this truck. Stanley desperately tried to cover it up, but when me Sir looked into his hole, he noticed that something was in the hole. When he saw the sack he asked Stanley how it got there, and he just told Mr Sir that he stole it and ate them all by himself. Mr Sir drove Stanley to the Warden's house to tell her what had happened. But when Stanley told the Warden about the seeds Mr Sir said he didn't think Stanley did it. The Warden told Mr Sir that she really re and got really mad. She took her nail polish which she claimed contained rattlesnake venom, and scratched Mr Sir in the face, and he collapsed.
