"Mungkin, katanya ragu-ragu, mungkin ada binatang buas. Perakitan berteriak dengan kejam dan Ralph berdiri dengan takjub. Kamu, Simon? Anda percaya ini? Saya tidak tahu, kata Simon. Detak jantungnya mencekiknya. [...] Ralph berteriak. Dengarkan dia! Dia punya Keong! Yang saya maksud . . . mungkin hanya kita. Gila! Itu dari Piggy, kaget karena kesopanan."

Versi Bahasa Inggris

Maybe, he said hesitantly, maybe there is a beast. The assembly cried out savagely and Ralph stood up in amazement. You, Simon? You believe in this? I don't know, said Simon. His heartbeats were choking him. [...] Ralph shouted. Hear him! He's got the conch! What I mean is . . . maybe it's only us. Nuts! That was from Piggy, shocked out of decorum.
