He could think of no reason why Zero would dig his hole for him. Zero didn't even get any sunflower seeds.
“I guess he likes to dig holes,” Armpit had said. “He's a mole,” Zigzag had said.
“I think he eats dirt.” “Moles don't eat dirt,” X-Ray had pointed out. “Worms eat dirt.”

Stanley never even thanked him. But now he sat on his cot and waited for Zero to return from the shower room.
“Thanks,” he said as Zero entered through the tent flap.
Zero glanced at him, then went over to the crates, where he deposited his dirty clothes and towel.
“Why'd you help me?” Stanley asked. Zero turned around.
“You didn't steal the sunflower seeds,” he said. “So, neither did you,” said Stanley.

“You didn't steal the sneakers,” he said. Stanley said nothing. He watched Zero walk out of the tent.
