Stanley Yelnats was given a choice．The judge said，“You may go to prison，or you may go

The trouble started when Stanley was accused of stealing a pair of shoes donated by basketball great Clyde“Sweetfeet”Livingston to a celebrity auction(名流拍卖会)．In court，the

judge doesn’t believe Stanley’S explanation that the shoes fell from the sky onto his head．And

to realize there’s more than character improvement going on at Camp Green Lake．The boys are

digging holes because the warden is searching for something，and before long
