Read this excerpt from Holes. Sarah changed the words of the pig lullaby so that they rhymed, and every night she sang it to little Stanley.

“If only, if only,” the woodpecker sighs,
“The bark on the tree was as soft as the skies.”
While the wolf waits below, hungry and lonely,
Crying to the moo–oo–oon,
“if only, if only.”
How do the words “if only, if only” parallel Stanley’s predicament?

They parallel the fact that Stanley can go home only after he has completed his time at the camp.
They parallel Stanley’s homesickness and longing to be with his parents.
They parallel how lonely Stanley feels most of the time at school and at the camp.
They parallel Stanley’s wish that things had turned out differently for him.
