Which event is the first chronological event of this
passage?
The shovel felt heavy in Stanley's soft, fleshy hands.
He tried to jam it into the earth, but the blade banged
against the ground and bounced off without making a
dent. The vibrations ran up the shaft of the shovel and
into Stanley's wrists, making his bones rattle.
It was still dark. The only light came from the moon
and the stars, more stars than Stanley had ever seen
before. It seemed he had only just gotten to sleep
when Mr. Pendanski came in and woke everyone up.
Mr. Pendanski wakes everyone up.
Stanley sees the moon and the stars.
O Stanley's hands feel the sting of the blow.
The shovel feels heavy in Stanley's hands.
Using all his might, he brought the shovel back down
onto the dry lake bed. The force stung his hands but
made no impression on the earth. He wondered if he
had a defective shovel. He glanced at Zero, about
fifteen feet away, who scooped out a shovelful of dirt
and dumped it on a pile that was already almost a foot
tall.
