The village boys collect rocks and store them in different corners of the square. This foreshadows the stoning of the lottery winner.

can you give me cite of the textual evidence.

Please help me

The actions of the village boys affect the development of the plot over the course of the text. The text states, “—eventually made a great pile of stones in one corner of the square and guarded it against the raids of the other boys. The girls stood aside, talking among themselves, looking over their shoulders at the boys, and the very small children rolled in the dust or clung to the hands of their older brothers or sisters.” This excerpt tells the reader that the village boys collected rocks and stored them in the different corners of the square. This foreshadows the stoning of the lottery winner. This is how the actions of the village boys affect the development of the plot over the course of the text.
