"Holes" - Stanley Yelnats III

 

 A introduction of Stanley's father. About his life and his family.

..............................................................................................................................................

My Name is Stanley Yelnats the III.
I'm an inventor and I have a son, who is called Stanley Yelnats the
IV.
He is now in Camp Green Lake because he stole a pair of sneakers. Only for me, because I make an experiment to find out a way to recycle sneakers. My wife tells me everyday that the apartment now smells like old shoes. Everybody says that I'm smart and full of perseverance, but I don't know if that's true. My grandpa was kissed by Kissin' Kate Barlow but he survived the robbery in the desert because he found  Big Thumb.
He was called Stanley Yelnats the I., the II. was just a boring man. My great-grandpa stole a pig from an old Gipsy woman so a curse lies on our family, that's why I always say : " I learn from failure!"
