130 " Well let me tell you, something Caveman. You are here on the account of one person. If it wasn't for that person, you wouldn't be here digging holes in the hot sun. You know who that person is?" said Mr. Pendanski."My no-good-dirty-rotten-pig-stealing-great-great-grandfather. "
131 " I am not saying it's going to be easy. Nothing in life is easy. But that's no reason to give up. You'll be surprised with what you can accomplish if you set your mind to it. After all, you only have one life, so you should try to make the most of it. "

134 " He wiped the dirt off and realised it was an onion. He bit into it without peeling it. The hot, bitter juice burst into his mouth. He could feel it all the way up to his eyes. And when he swallowed, he felt its warmth move down his throat and into his stomach. He only ate half. He gave the other half to Zero."Here, eat this.""What is it?" Zero whispered."A hot-fudge sundae. "
135 " I wonder who she was," said Zero."Who?""Mary Lou," said Zero.Stanley smiled. "I guess she was once a real person on a real lake. It's hard to imagine.""I bet she was pretty," said Zero.

137 " In a few years, Camp Greenlake will be a girl scout camp. "
138 " A short while later, both boys fell asleep. Behind them, the sky had turned dark, and for the first time in over a hundred years, a drop of rain fell into the empty lake. "
139 " Three days after Sam's death, Miss Katherine shot the sheriff while he was sitting in his chair drinking a cup of coffee. Then she carefully applied a fresh coat of lipstick and gave him the kiss he had asked for. For the next twenty years, Kissin' Kate Barlow was one of the most feared outlaws in all the West. "
