Ralph longed for several things, mostly concerned with personal hygiene. Most of all he wanted to cut his hair, short, right back to half an inch. He also wanted a bath, to wallow in soapy water and to clean his teeth. Ralph wanted clean clothes and a comfortable bed top sleep in. All of these things though were simply symptoms of an underlying need. What Ralph really wanted was to be rescued and to go home.
