| - Chapter One begins by introducing Ralph and Piggy, two boys who are stranded on an island. Piggy claims that he had been flying in an airplane, when he looked out the window, and saw that the plane was on fire; it is assumed that the plane was bombed down, since the book takes place during the dawn of World War II. Ralph is the first boy to climb out of the plane, and explore the jungle. But, shortly after this, he meets Piggy, another boy who's stranded on the island. Ralph doesn't pay much attention to Piggy, who rambles on about how the plane was on fire, and how he thinks they were attacked. Ralph is more interested in the fact that there are no grown-ups. He takes great pleasure in this, standing on his head, and grinning. It's obvious he takes great delight in the fact that there's no one to boss him around. Later, when Ralph is on the beach, he takes off all his clothing, and stands out, looking at the water. Piggy soon joins him. After a while, Piggy reveals the nickname he was given at his school, and Ralph laughs hysterically. Piggy tries to calm Ralph down, but Ralph can't stop laughing, and teasing the thoroughly embarrassed Piggy. After this, Ralph and Piggy find a conch shell buried deep in the sand. Piggy gets excited over the shell, blabbing on about how you can blow into it and make a loud, booming noise. Ralph becomes interested in this remark, and tries, unsucessfully, to blow into the shell. The shell makes a sort of farting noise, and makes both boys laugh. But then, Ralph concentrates really hard, and blows into the shell at the top of his lungs. A huge, booming noise shakes the island, sending birds flying into the air, and animals squealing into the underbrush. The noise attracts boys from all over the island. At first, only smaller children begin to appear, but soon, older children begin to arrive. All of them gather around Ralph, waiting for him to speak to them, as if he's their leader. Shortly after this, another group of boys appear on the horizon. When the boys arrive, they claim to be "the choir", and reveal their leader to be Jack, an authoritive, snobbish boy. There's a bit of discussion over who the leader is to be, but, after an intense vote, Ralph is chosen as the new leader, leaving Jack furious. Ralph, wanting to avoid an arguement, puts Jack in charge of the choirboys. Jack is pleased at this, and suggests they become hunters, and Ralph quickly agrees. After the situation is cleared, Ralph, Jack, and another choirboy, Simon, wander off into the forest, excited to explore the island,. They fight through the thicket, and reach a rocky peak on the island. They look out, and find that they are surrounded by ocean on all sides. On their way down, Jack spots a pig stuck in a tangle of vines. He pulls out his knife, and gets ready to kill it, but he hesitates, obviously overwhelmed at the thought of taking away the life of a living creature. His hesitation gives the pig enough time to scramble away, and run off into the forest. Jack is embarrassed at his hesitation, and claims that he was looking for a place in which to stab the pig, but the other boys know the real reason he didn't kill it.

- This section of the Fantasy Life walkthrough is about Chapter One of the main story.
- They lay, waiting under a cluster of sparsely leafed trees about large flat boulders. It was mid-day and the shade offered by the foliage did very little to lessen the searing heat. Unlike the lust and green savannah back home with herds of wildebeests and other grazers the land here was empty, dusty with patches of dry yellow grass. It was nothing but a desert wasteland. With an irritable growl the lioness turned her head away from the land which lay before her paws. Her annoyed amber glaze softened when she looked over behind her to the sleeping forms of her pride mates. Despite the antelope buck carcass she had found several nights ago along with smaller prey she had managed to scare up; they still looked starved and weak especially the cubs. The prey was hard to come by; the odd antelope was seen wandering here and there but no large herds. Water was also scarce. A dark tawny lioness some years older with a large scar running down her right shoulder awoke and raised her head. Her wise amber eyes the same shade as the younger female stared at her questioningly before speaking. "They haven't shown yet, Akime?" With an angry shake of her head Akime replied. "No. Not even a scent of them." "They'll come we just have to have patience." Akime let out a low rumble in her throat and slowly sat up, not to disturb the cubs that slept with their heads resting on her flank. In a bitter voice she said. "I don't think they'll come, Samsami. They have forgotten us. They don't want us." Samsami leaned forward and gave a comforting lick to her pride mate and niece with her rough tongue. "Come now, Akime. Don't say such things. We have traveled many miles, suffered many hardships and losses and with the drought in full force the pride knows they'll need us. They need hunters and who is a better hunter then you?" "Beside their leader seems to be a reasonable male unlike that yellow female who was with him. She has a fierce and reserved temper. The pride is large with sixteen members; two of them are young grown handsome males. " Samsami added it with a slight purr and Akime turned away with a quick snort. "Why on earth would you tell me that for? I have cubs, already. I don't need anymore." Her aunt chuckled. Suddenly a bellowing roar broke the still hot air; both females, startled turned to look for the source, ears pricked up. “What in the −” Samsami began but stopped. In the distance, walking towards them from the direction which Akime had been looking moments before were five lions. In the front was a large dark mane male that every now and then would let out a loud roaring bellow. Not far behind him was a yellowy colored female who in turn was followed by two other females while another male brought up the rear. Both Akime and Samsami got up quickly but it was the elder who stepped forward, moving towards the strangers. "Akime, awake the others and get them ready." She ordered. Without a word Akime moved to do her duty, nudged and pawed in hushed tones until the pride stood, alert and tensed. They were a small group with only four grown females and five cubs, three of them, females, belonged to Akime while the remaining two which were males were Samsami’s. Before coming to this unknown land; Akime’s pride had ruled a vast territory in the north east and with 30 members no one dare tried to challenge them. But some did and very few had lived to regret it. The cubs gathered together in a bunch behind the lioness, anxious about what was happening and a couple of them begin to mew. Akime gave them a quick reassuring lick then led the pride over towards Samsami who stood waiting a couple paces from the tree cover. She sat down a couple tail lengths away to watch and wait. If it came to a fight they stood no chance against the ruling pride, only the cubs had a slim chance of get away if the lionesses could hold them off long enough. However, they lack the skills to live on their own and would die days or weeks later from lack of food. Akime felt her neck fur raise and her body rigid as the pride closed in on them. She remembered the male and the yellow female from a pervious but brief meeting but the others were strangers. It's Kerr and that spitfire of a female. What's her name again? Yetu, that's it. She thought to herself; once she met someone Akime could never forgot them. Her amber eyes scanned the pride until they rested on the male who brought up the rear. He was a mature male with brown tawny coat with a dark brown mane almost black with light brown undertones and orange eyes. A couple months older then her but not much and he was good looking Akime had to admit to herself but the harshness of drought could be seen on him and his pride. Their coats were thin and dull and hung somewhat loosely on their bodies but they looked to be a far better condition then Akime and her own pride. Kerr halted his pride just paw steps away from theirs and as she watched he stepped forward to rubbed heads in greeting with Samsami. Yetu came up next and the greeting was repeated and repeated until each lion had rubbed heads with each other. Kerr who had moved aside to allow the greetings now stepped forward again; his orange eyes were thoughtful as he spoke in a deep, strong yet gentle voice. "Samsami, as matriarch of your pride it's your right to address myself and my pride with yours' or your pride's requests." Akime turned away from the male to look at Samsami. While the male who only then noticed that he had being studied by a rather attractive lioness gave a small smile. Samsami, who stood before Kerr with her head bowed in respect, replied. "My Lord, we are nothing more then a humble family with young from the lands to the north east who have falling on hard times. Our home along with our families are no more, they have been ravaged by those we call Man and it's our only wish that you would allow us to join yours. We are strong despite our looks, excellent hunters and good parents who are ready to serve." At her words Akime and the lionesses bowed their heads while the cubs uncertain about what to do pressed around their flanks. Their light amber eyes stared at the strangers, curiously. As she stared at her paws Akime felt as if someone was looking at her, nerved by it she glanced up to see that it was young male who was staring intently. Yetu noticing her movement followed her glaze and raised her lip, growled at the male who quickly ducked his head down. She turned back to Akime clearly displeased. Akime wanted to move away and hid from her piercing glaze but to leave during such an important meeting could raise a wrath and put everyone in danger. She lowered her eyes hoping Yetu would leave her alone once she was submissive. Kerr swished his tail along the ground, catching Yetu's attention. Akime relaxed, grateful for it. He then turned and looked over the group before him. They might be half-starved but it was nothing which good food couldn’t fix. They were well built females even the cubs. They looked to be strong hunters especially the light tawny lioness with her amber eyes. She had the hunter’s built and also looked to be quite intelligent and not to mention pretty, all which were good traits to look for in a future Queen. However another lioness, lighter and more gold in color with a more slender body with blue eyes, showed the same traits some which were finer. She would be the perfect match for his son. But something told him deep inside that the first would be the far better choice in the long run. The cubs that had remained silent throughout the whole process were being to get restless. One of them, a female crawled up behind Akime and gently started to paw at her tail. She was obviously trying to get her attention. But when Akime ignored her she carefully and gently gripped the tail in her paws and then after a few moments dug her tiny yet sharp claws into it. Akime whirled about, growling in pain and surprise and cuffed the cub hard across the head. “Uimi!” She hissed loudly then realizing that she was out of order Akime glanced back over her shoulder, apprehensively. Everyone was staring at her, surprised and amused expect Yetu she looked clearly offended. The male gave a toothy grin. Akime glared down at Uimi who looked up at her with a hurtful expression. Kerr smiled and let out a deep rumble which to Akime must have been a purr. He stood up, looked at both prides in turn and said. “Since the cubs are getting rather restless I’ll make this short.” Everyone had their ears pricked up. "After much thought about this matter before hand and now. I have made my decision. Samsami, it's a great honor for me to tell you that your pride’s journey is now over, welcome home."
- |In Part One of this book, it is my intention to cover what I would like to call the fundamentals of Buddhism, that is, the basic teaching of Buddhism. This survey will include the Life of the Buddha, the Four Noble Truths, the Noble Eightfold Path, karma, rebirth, interdependent origination, the three universal characteristics, and the teaching of the five aggregates. Before the actual treatment of these basic topics, I would like to deal first with the notion of Buddhism in perspective, and that a modern perspective. There are many ways in which people of different times and different cultures have approached Buddhism, but I believe it may be especially useful to contrast the modern attitude toward Buddhism with the traditional attitude toward it. This kind of comparative consideration may prove useful because understanding how people of different times and cultures view a particular phenomenon can begin to show us the limitations of our own particular perspective. |Первая часть этой книги посвящается тем понятиям которые, по моему, являются фундаментальными принципами Буддизма - его основным учением. В этот обзор войдут Жизнь Будды, Четыре Благородные Истин, Благородный Восьмеричный Путь, карма, возрождение, взаимозависимого происхождения, трех всеобщих особенностей{характеристик}, и учения пяти совокупностей. Перед фактической обработкой этих основных{элементарных} тем, я хотел бы иметь дело сначала с понятием Буддизма в перспективе, и что современная перспектива. Есть много путей, которыми люди различных{других} времен и различных{других} культур приблизились к Буддизму, но я полагаю, что может быть особенно полезным противопоставить современное отношение к Буддизму с традиционным отношением к этому. Этот вид сравнительного рассмотрения{соображения} может оказаться полезным, потому что понимание, как люди различных{других} времен и культур рассматривают специфическое явление, может начать показывать нам ограничения нашей собственной специфической перспективы.|
