Jack-"Okay. Since I'm the Chief, I say we find a way to save ourselves, but first we need to make sure that this is an island. Jack, you and-"
Ralph looked around the platform to find himself staring straight at-
"Simon. You two come with me, we'll explore to know for sure if we are stranded or not."
Piggy yelped, "I want to go, too!"
I couldn't help but tell him that he'd slow us down. And of course Ralph felt bad, but hey, it was true.
"Jack's right, Piggy. Just the three of us."
He had a grim look on his face, but Ralph, Simon, and I moved on.
"We need to find the highest part of this place."
"Like a mountain?"
Simon made everything obvious. The three of us went as high as we could until finally we found it. The mountain wasn't small at all, but it wasn't too big either. From there, you could see the ocean, and that's exactly what Ralph wanted.
We hiked back down to the platform, and the next day we had told them that this was definitely an island and that there are pigs to kill for food.
"Well, now to save ourselves from this dead-beat place."
Ralph says that, but I don't mind that I'm stuck here on this uncharted island.
"How do you suggest we do that?"
"Well, we could make a signal fire, that way when a ship goes by, hopefully they'll see the smoke."
It wasn't stupid, so I thought that It might actually work. I felt like there was some reason to take charge of this 'signal fire.'
"Come on you guys, follow me!"
We all raced up the mountain, that was the highest place, and my choir and I started to pile wood on top of wood until we figured, "We don't have anything to start the fire." We stopped and found that Ralph was trying to help.
"You don't have anything that will start it do you?"
A Littlun shouted, "I know how! You rub two sticks together!"
Another, "No, you use a bow, a stick, and a flat piece of wood."
Ralph, asking stupidly, "Does anyone have a match?"
Looking up, he sees the glare in Piggy's specs and blurts, "Piggy, give me your specs."
"No! Not my specs, I need those! Give them here!"
Using the sun's glare and Piggy's glasses, Ralph lit the fire as if it were magic.
Piggy was furious as we took his glasses and as we gave them back. Sarcastically Piggy responds, "Hooray! You made a fire. Before the fire was made there was a Littlun with a Mulberry birthmark on one side of his face that came up and spoke of a snake-like 'Beastie.' Remember him? Do you see him anywhere?"
We looked around and saw no sign of him.
"Look at your fire. It's not making any smoke; and look at the island half of it's burning."
Piggy was right, there wasn't anyone that noticed the boy with the mulberry birthmark walk away or anything.
"Let the fire burn out. It's almost nightfall and you can make your fire in the morning when ship can possibly see the smoke."
I thought that The fire was one of the best ideas far, and yet, it wasn't.
