What information does the flashback provide about Stanley? A, The place he is going to is in the middle of nowhere.
B, He enjoys listening to woodpeckers.
C, He has a good relationship with his father.
D, The lullaby his father sings is his favorite song.

He looked out the window at the vast emptiness. He watched the rise and fall of a telephone wire. In his mind he could hear his father's gruff voice softly singing to him.

"If only, if only," the woodpecker sighs,
"The bark on the tree was just a little bit softer.
"While the wolf waits below, hungry and lonely,
He cries to the moo--oo--oon,"
If only, if only."

It was a song his father used to sing to him. The melody was sweet and sad, but Stanley's favorite part was when his father would howl the word "moon."

The bus hit a small bump and the guard sat up, instantly alert.
