"Hello," he said. "I'm Andy Dufresne." He offered his hand and I shook it. He wasn't a man to waste time being social; he got right to the point. "I understand that you're a man who knows how to get things. I agreed that I was able to locate certain items from time to time. "How do you do that?" Andy asked. "Sometimes," I said, "things just seem to come into my hand. I can't explain it. Unless it's because I'm Irish." He smiled a little at that. "I wonder if you could get me a rock-hammer."
The place called the prison is constructed by some big groups of prisoners. Naturally vertical society exists in that. Most people flatter a person of the top of the group. I thought of Andy Dufresne would have a lot to do with how his time went. He probably knew it, too, but he not kowtowing or sucking up to me, and I respected him for that.
I think it would be fair to say I liked Andy from the first. Therefore I prepared rock-hammer, his according to demand. If it is usual, cost plus ten per cent is my going rate, but I have to go up some on a dangerous item. For something like the gadget you're talking about, it takes a little more goose-grease to get the wheels turning. I did not know it then, a long time after, I discovered that he had better than five hundred. He had brought it in with him.
After that, I watched him curiously. He walked a few step, saw something in the dirt, bent over, and picked it up. It was a small rock. Prison fatigues, except for those worn by mechanics when they're on the job, have no pockets. But there are ways to get around that. The little pebble disappeared up Andy's mired him. In spite of the problems he was having, he was going on with his life. There are thousands who don't or won't or can't , and plenty of them aren't in prison, either. And I noticed that, although his face looked as if a twister had happened to it, his hands were still neat and clean, the nails well-kept. But I did not see much of him, over the next six months; Andy spent a lot of that time in solitary.

Andy first came to me!!
In the court, a detective explained the modus operandi of the case that Andy caused one after another. Andy Dufresne took the stand in his own defense and told his story calmly, coolly, and dispassionately. During the trial, he was calm from beginning to end.
Getting a pass out of Shawshank when you've got murder stamped on your admittance-slip is slow work, as slow as a river eroding a rock. Seven men sit on the board, two more than at most state prisons, and every one of those seven has an ass as hard as the water drawn up from a mineral- spring well. You can't buy guys, you can't sweet-talk them, you can't cry for them. As far as the board in here is concerned, money do not talk, and nobody walks. There were other reasons in Andy's case as well... but that belongs a little further along in my story.
I remember the first time Andy Dufresne goy in touch with me for something; I remember like it was yesterday. In the summer of 1948 he came around for something else. The truck loading-bays are on the south side of the yard.There are five of them. Shawshank is busy place during the work-week--deliveries in, deliveries out.
It was on a Sunday that Andy first came to me. I had just finished talking to Elmore Armitage, a fellow who often came in handy to me, about radio when Andy walked up. I knew who he was, of course; he had a requtation foe being a snob and a cool fish. One of the people saying so was Bogs Diamond, a bad man to have on your case. Andy had no cellmate, and I'd heard that just the way he wanted it, although people were already saying he thought his shit smelled sweeter than the ordinary. But I do not have to listen to rumors about a man when I can judge him hor myself.

Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption
I work as a bagman in federal prison. I am the guy who can get it for you. Tailor-made cigarettes, abag of reefer if you are partial, or almost anything else... I came to Shawshank when I was just twenty. I committerd murder. At first, I intended to murder my wife alone to get the insurance. However, various incidents occurred at the same time, as a result, I have caused the great event that involved fifty people or better. After a long trial, the judge called what I had done "a hideous, heinous crime." Thereafter I am behind bars, but I do not yet understand the meaning called the rebirth.
Anyway it is not me I want to tell you about; I want to tell you about a guy named Andy Dufresne. But before I can tell you about Andy, I have to explain a few other things about myself. It won't take long.
As I said, I have been the guy who can get it for you here at Shawshank for damn near forty years.
I sent various things to various people. And,I do not get all those things gratis, and for some items the price comes high.I was a bagman of the reputation. However,the only two things I refuse to handle are guns and heavy drugs. I won't help anyone kill himself or anyone else. I have enough killing on my mind to last me a lifetime. So when Andy Dufresne came to me in 1949 and asked if I could smuggle Rita Hayworth into the prison for him, I said it would be no problem at all.
When Andy came to Shawshank in 1948, he was thirty years old. He was a short, weat little man with sandy hair and small clever hands. He wore gold-rimmed spectacles. His fingernails were always clipped, and they were always clean. On the outside he had been a vice-president in the trust department of a large Portland bank. Andy was in for murdering his wife and her lover.
In all my years at Shawshank, There were how many men who insisted themselves innocent. Andy Dufresne was one of them, although I only became comvinced of his innocence over a period of years.
It was said that Andy knew the immorality of the wife, and he was enraged and had murdered his wife and the lover. And they took four bullets each other. In other words he would repack some bullet to his gun. This became the important issue at the trial, and he was found guilty,be put behind bars for life.

HOLES 49-50
In old days, there was not yellow-spotted lizard in the town of Green Lake. But the tounsfolk had heard about the "red-eyed monsters" living in the desert hills. When it already had completely shed the leaves, Sam was hailed by three people of Walter,Bo and Jesse, and it was asked to teach a method not to happen to meet red-eyed monsters. So Sam gave each man two bottles of pure onion juice. He told them to drink one bottle before going to bed that night, then a half bottle in the morning, and then a half bottle around lunchtime. The lizards do not like onion blood.
Stanley and Zero sat in the backseat of Ms.Morengo's BMW. They really smell bad. Ms.Morengo was helping Stanley's father with the new product he has invented. So she did a little investigating. In the process, she came to uncover the evidence that Stanley did not steal Clyde Livingston's sneakers. And it was decided that she did not hear confession of Zero. In addition, she talked to them about having succeeded in the development of the product that Stanley's father removed foot odor. A short while they slept. Behind them the sky had turned dark, and for the first time in over a hundred years, a drop of rain fell into the empty lake.
Stanley's mather did not believe a curse. However, Stanley's father invented his cure for foot odor the day after the great-great-grandson of Elya Yelnats carried the great-great-great-grandson of Madame Zeroni up the mountain.
The Attorney General closed Camp Green Lake. And in the future, Camp Green Lake will become a Girl Scout camp.
Stanley thought that the contents of the suitcase were jewels, and that they could become a billionaire. However, the value of the jewel in the suitcase was low, and it did not make big money that much. But not a lot less. It was enough for Stanley to buy his hamily a new house, and for Hector to hire a team of private investigating.
The Yelnats family held home party. Then they watched a commercial in which Clyde Livingston. he was said that he lost the foot odor, thanks to "Sploosh". His wife attended it, too. Very softly, she half sang, half hummed a song that her grandmother used to sing to her when she was a little girl.
If only, if only, the moon speaks no reply; ("If only, if only," the woodpecker sighs,)
Reflesting the sun and all that's gone by. ("The bark on the tree was just a little bit softer.)
Be strong my weary wolf, turn around boldly. (While the wolf waits below, hungry and lonely,)
Fly high, my baby bird, (He cried to the moo--oo--oon,)
My angel, my only. (If only, if only.)

HOLES 46-48
For a long time, Stanley and Zero and the Warden waited for lizards which clung to a suitcase leaving it. However, there is not the state to leave it at all. The Warden and Mr.Sir tried various methods, but ended in failure. Meanwhile, Mr.Pendanski suggested that he should spoil Stanley and Zero. They fell into a situation to be troubled with when they could live for two boys. On the other hand, Stanley did not hear such stories at all, and he thought about only the thing of a fun memory with mother to escape from fear.
It dawned, but the still dangerous situation continued. The Warden waited on for perseverance. However, the situation became just serious. Stanley made an effort to centralize consciousness in the memory, but it was difficult in now when a day had risen. In addition, Because they covered to the person who gave its name was a lawyer of Stanley, Stanley understood clearly the reason to dig the hole in Camp Green Lake was not for the rebirth of boys, but it found search of the Warden.
When Stanley and Zero crawled out somehow outside a hole, the Warden was going to take a suitcase away from them. However, Zero prevented it and said "It belongs to Stanley". Surprisingly, the evidence that was a thing of Stanley was left for the suitcase properly. There, in big black letters, was STANLEY YELNATS.
Ms.Morengo employed as a lawyer of Stanley quarrelled with Warden intensely. At last, Stanley will leave Camp Green Lake. However, Stanley thought that he could not leave leaving Zero and asked her for Zero so that it was appeared together. As a result, Zero will be released, too. At last they left Camp Green Lake while I was blessed by boys of group D.

HOLES 43-45
Zero has begun to talk about memory when he was young. Zero lived in the house, and there was mother. Zero's mother used to sang songs to him. And, surprisingly, one of the songs looked just like the song which reached the house of Stanley.
Before it still dawned while everybody fell fast asleep, Stanley and Zero arrived at Camp Green Lake and thought to dig the hole. Stanley thought that parents might worry about himself. In addition, they were to hear the report that himself died, he have imagined a figure parents grieved, and to grieve over. Even if he was going to lose a thought no matter how much, he was not able to wipe out the worry.
On the next day, Stanley and Zero went down the Big Thumb with much water and onions. And they have begun to walk towards Camp Green Lake. They advanced while being anxious about journey each other. In addition, Zero has begun to talk about his mother. On the other hand, he spoke nothing about his father. While they had various talks, they arrived at Camp Green Lake.
Stanley discovered the hole where he found the gold tube. Stanley and Zero waited until a person disappearing and have begun to dig the hole carefully not to attract attention. When they continued digging it, at last they found a suitcase. They have cried because of too much excitement. However, at a moment,the joy has been found in the Warden.
The Warden are going to take away the suitcase, but a lizard clings to the suitcase and cannot move it. In addition, the lizard clung to Stanley and Zero.

HOLES 40-42
Stanley ate the onion planted in Big Thumb gratefully. When he found an onion he did not think why there was an onion. But he couldn't help wonder about it when I thought slowly and carefully.
In a certain spring morning, Sam and Mary Low sold some onion in main street as usual. Then Mrs.Gladys Tennyson ran as night clothes. Mrs.Tennyson was a very polite woman who had not appeared in the public place without wearing fine clothes. So the people of Green Lake were quite surprised to see her. Thanks to the onion tonic made in Sam, Becca going to be all right. Mrs. Tennyson said thanks for Sam. At that time, she invoked Doc Hawthorn and applauded Sam. There was the woman who did not feel it good and said a sarcasm to Mrs.Tennyson. But without the mood that she minded adversely, she has issued a sharp rejoinder. Mrs.Tennyson was only glad to become all right Becca.
Stanley tried to make the hole deerer, but his efforts just seemed to strip mad and make the water dirtier. Stanley really wanted the shovel. On the other hand, Zero was sleeping. Zero was still sick and weak. But thanks to the onions, Zero's condition continues to improve. Zero began to confess some thing.
Stanley had lip stick on his mind. So he approached Zero on the suggestion.
"You want to dig one more hole?"
