The picnic is bountiful and consisted of grilled chicken, rolls, salad, corn on the cobb - things Doug was not accustomed to. Doug and his brother treasure the watches they receive because they had never owned watches before. He does not go swimming because he would need to remove his shirt and show his tattoo. Doug's partner is Mr. Ballard, but he does not know it. 4. Doug's father has kept the prizes and lied to Doug. Doug tells Mr. Ballard that the Yellow Shank belongs back in the book to which it belongs. Mr. Ballard in turn gives the plate to Doug to return to the book. This act inspires Doug to start drawing again. 5. "Even if you're a jerk, you still got guts" (181).
