“Another fossil?” “No, I'm not sure what it is.” “Let me see,” said Zigzag.
Instead of showing it to Zigzag, Stanley brought it to X-Ray. Zigzag followed.
X-Ray looked at the tube, then rubbed his dirty glasses on his dirty shirt and looked at the tube again.
One by one, the other boys dropped their shovels and came to look.
“It looks like an old shotgun shell,” said Squid. “Yeah, that's probably what it is,” said Stanley.
He decided not to mention the engraved design. Maybe nobody would notice it. He doubted X-Ray could see it.
“No, it's too long and thin to be a shotgun shell,” said Magnet.
“It's prob'ly just a piece of junk,” said Stanley. “Well, I'll show it to Mom,” said X-Ray.
“See what he thinks. Who knows? Maybe I'll get the day off.”
“Your hole's almost finished,” said Stanley. “Yeah, so?” Stanley raised and lowered his shoulder.
“So, why don't you wait until tomorrow to show it to Mom?” he suggested.
“You can pretend you found it first thing in the morning. Then you can get the whole day off, instead of just an hour or so this afternoon.”
