When Ralph says "Be sucking my thumb next" in Chapter 7 of "Lord of the Flies," he is expressing his frustration with the other boys for focusing on trivial matters instead of addressing the critical issue at hand. It is a sarcastic way of saying that they are behaving like infants, rather than taking responsibility for their survival on the island.

What strange thing does Ralph notice as the boys are playing around the rocks?

I am guessing that you are referring to the passage about the rock in the sea when Ralph, Jack and Simon set out to climb the mounttain, in chapter one, to determine whether they are on an island or not. To quote from the book... There was a jumble of the usual squareness, with one great block sitting out in the lagoon. Sea birds were nesting there. "Like icing," said Ralph, "on a pink cake." <---wrong he means chapter 6
