This is the story of Stanley the I. told from his perspective. It's the story how he found "God's Thumb"

My name is Stanley Yelnats. I lived in New York for a long time. One day I started trading shares at the stock market. After a few years I had made a lot of money. I decided to move from New York to California. The trip to my new home went straight through the desert. I had bought a stagecoach because I had to take my whole things with me. The sun burnt down very hot. Luckily I had taken enough water with me.
It was the fifth day on the journey when the horses suddenly stopped. A
woman with a black cowboy hat and a gun stood in front of me and shouted: "Hands up! Otherwise I'm going to kill you!" Everything happened so fast. She pushed me out of the coach and escaped with it. She robbed all my things and my entire fortune. I stayed behind, stranded in the middle of the desert. After three days I was so thirsty that I almost got crazy. ................................................................
