Best Answer

Too quote directly from the book...

Here they paused and examined the bushes around them curiously. Simon spoke first. "Like candles. Candle bushes. Candle buds." Ralph and Jack dismiss the bushes and Ralph actually says, "You couldn't light them... They just look like candles." This entire episode is an allusion to a passage from the book "The Coral Island." In that book the boys named Jack, Ralph (Golding reused those names deliberately) and Peterkin also find "Candle buds." The difference being that the boy called Jack, in The Coral island, is a well read boy who informs his companions that the nuts from this bush can be dried out and threaded onto a sting where they will burn when lit, just like real candles.
