During the meeting, when the littlun with the mulberry coloured birthmark on his face first mentioned the snake-thing or beastie, Ralph declared, "But there isn't a beastie!" Jack then said "Ralph's right of course. There isn't a snake-thing." Unfortunately he then contradicted the impact of this statement by adding "But if there was a snake we'd hunt it and kill it... And we'll look for the snake too---" Ralph protested again, "But there isn't a snake!" To which Jack replied, "We'll make sure when we go hunting." So in effect Jack gave credence to the littlun's story instead of just dismissing it as Ralph had done.
