In the book Holes, Sam the onion man's donkey's name was Mary Lou.
In the book "Holes" by Louis Sachar, the character Kissin' Kate Barlow is the one who kisses the onion man, Sam. Their relationship is a significant part of the story and plays a role in the history of Green Lake.
Kate Barlow fell in love with Sam the onion man. However, this was an interracial relationship in a time when people did not accept a black man dating a white woman.
The flashbacks retell the story of Stanley's great-great-grandfather as well as the history of Camp Green Lake, with Kissin' Kate Barlow and Sam the onion man.
Sam the Onion Man as it was considered illegal for a Negro man to kiss a white woman.
*Spoiler alert* (Book is Holes by Louis Sachar) The *sploosh that Zero found in the boat Mary Lou was actually jars of Katherine Barlow's prized spiced peaches. They were Sam the onion man's after Katherine Barlow exchanged her spices peaches for Sam's service in repairing the school for her.
He was the man with Stanley's lawyer
It doesn't state exactly how tall Katherine is, but she must've been a normal hight because she was able to hug Mary Lou's head and kiss Sam the Onion Man. Hope this helps :)
It was there because when Sam the Onion Man was shot, his boat got smashed and it sunk into the lake and the lake dried up while the boat was still there. That is how it got there
