people called the guy 'zero' because they said he wasn't smart.
But when Stanley started teaching him how to read and write he was very smart and a fast learner too! :)
Zero strangles Zigzag because he was attacking Stanley. If this helps as well, this action shows how protective Zero is to Stanley.
They split the money. Stanley bought his family a house, and Zero found his mom.
Stanley finds Zero taking shelter under a boat called the "Mary Lou" in the dried-up lake.
Zero/Hector did, they landed on Stanley, and then the police thought Stanley stole the shoes, althought Zero did.
His warning is that he isn't a very good teacher.

Zero originally stole Clyde Livingstone's shoes, for which Stanley was blamed.
Because of how close Zero (Hector) and Stanley were. They would risk their lives for each other because of their close friendship.

Zero ends up trying to save Stanley using his shovel as soon as they get to God's Thumb. But, when Zero saves Stanley, the shovel gives him a huge gash on his hand.
Zero couldn't read at first, so the main character, Stanley, taught him how to. He was never actually reading a specific book per say.
Stanley's relationship with zero is important because his great-great grandfather was a friend of zero's great-great-great grandmother.it is in the book holes because that's where zero and stanely first met
