Answer: Stanley is arrested, Stanley digs a hole, Stanley's grandfather is cursed, Stanley is proud of himself.
Explanation:
In Chapters 6 and 7 of <em>Holes</em> by <em>Louis Sachar</em>, Stanley was first arrested for ''stealing'' baseball player Clyde Livingston’s sneakers. Stanley is then told to dig a hole which he finds hard at first but continues anyway.
The story then goes to Stanley's great-great-grandfather, Elya Yelnats being cursed for breaking a promise to Madame Zeroni that he would carry her to the top of a mountain and sing to her.
Back to the present, Stanley is still digging and is bleeding from his blisters but keeps going till he finishes and was proud of digging the hole.
