    He trusts Stanley and believes him when he said he didn’t steal runners. His grandad survived because he stayed at the top of his thumb and it protected him

    1: Maybe zero thought he did not take them because he was trying to be a nice friend
    2. Stanlys great grandfather survided because of gods tumb. He took shelter there.

    1 I think he said that because he was nice to zero and he wanted to make Stanley feel better.2 He said gods thumb saved him and gave him refuge.

    1. Zero knows that Stanley took the blame for the sunflower seeds , Zero now thinks that Stanley didn’t steel the shoes he just took the blame.

    2.Stanleys great grand father found refuge from Gods thumb.

    **What does take refuge mean Wayne?

    Ans 1: Zero probably said that he didnt take the runners cause he knows that Stanley didnt take the sunflower seeds either and he is a good boy.
    Ans 2: Stanleys great grandfather survived in the desert because he went to the top of the mountain that looked like Gods thumb and took shelter there.

    1. Zero realised Stanley was a good person and because Stanley is a good person he would not steal.
    2. The first Stanley was saved by a rocks shadow in the shape of a thumb.

    1. I think that Zero said I know you didn’t take the shoes because Stanley took the blame about the sunflower seeds so that is probably why Zero said it.
    2. Staley’s great grandfather(not the pig stealer one) said to the 2 rattlesnake hunters that the God’s thumb.

    1- I think the reason Zero said,” I know you didn’t steal the shoes” was because Zero knew Stanly was good and wouldn’t steal anything.

    2- Stanly’s Great Grandad said that God’s thumb saved him in the desert.

    **They only sure way he knew Stanley didn’t steal them was if Zero stole them. Could I be right?
