  2. One hundred and ten years ago, Green Lake was a big lake full of water. There was a school teacher Katherine Barlow. She was so pretty that many young men went to her classes. One of the young men was Trout Walker, who was rich but stupid. No one dared to say “no” to Trout, except for Katherine, who declined his invitation to take a ride on his boat.
    ***************************
    Mr. Sir’s face swelled up after being scratched by the Warden. He got furious when a boy mentioned it, pushing his head into the oatmeal pot. After letting him go, Mr. Sir questioned him how he looked, and the boy said “fine” for fear of irritating him again.
    Later, Mr. Sir drove the water truck to the lake. Instead of filling Stanley’s canteen, he poured the water onto the ground in revenge for his swollen face.
    ***************************
    One hundred and ten years ago, there was an onion picker Sam in the town of Green Lake. He claimed that onions and the products made from onions could cure any kind of illness, and that his donkey Mary Lou lived a long life because of eating nothing but raw onions.
    One day, Katherine Barlow complained to Sam that the roof leaked in the schoolhouse. He agreed to help fix it. During the time when Sam worked on the roof, Katherine was surprised to find him interested in poetry, fascinated by him as they got along. Then, she asked Sam to fix other things in the schoolhouse as an excuse to have more time to be with him.
    Finally, nothing in the schoolhouse needed to be fix. Katherine told Sam that her heart was broken. Saying he could fix it, he kissed her. Unfortunately, Hattie Parker saw them, and everyone in Green Lake had heard them kissing by the end of the next day.
    Trout Walker led a mob destroying the schoolhouse, so Katherine ran to the sheriff office to ask for help. Nevertheless, the sheriff was drunk and kept asking her for a kiss. He told her that Sam, a Negro, was against the law to kiss a white woman. He would be hanged as punishment.
    Katherine rushed to Sam and asked him to get away from the town. Sam left his donkey Mary Lou with tears in his eyes. At last, Sam and Mary Lou were all shot. A long drought began in Green Lake from then on.
    Katherine shot the sheriff, applying red lipstick and kissed him. That’s why she became “outlaw Kissin’ Kate Barlow.”
    ************************
    Though in a difficult situation, Stanley received more water from Mr. Pendanski, which was a great help to him. Since he promised to teach Zero read and write, Zero dug some of the holes for him in return. The others boys were jealous of Stanley, saying something sarcastic to him.
    There was once Mr. Sir , to Stanley’s surprise, filled his canteen. Then he went into the water truck, doing something Stanley could not see. Knowing that Mr. Sir must had added something to his water, Stanley poured all the water onto the ground.
    After teaching Zero all twenty-six letters of the alphabet, Stanley taught him to write his name. Zero finally revealed his real name, Hector Zeroni.
