When Piggy was lost in the forest at night, he found " a peculiar type of wood" that he described as "maleable when wet" "but hard as rock when dry" When he took refuge in the cave on the stormy night, he calmed his nerves by whittling the wood down to the stake that was used to pierce the pig's head.
