In "The Lord of Flies", Simon finds the body of the dead paratrooper and becomes sick at the smell of the rotting corpse. He frees the parachute line and runs to tell the others about the body, but they mistake him for the beast and beat him to death.
Why are sam 'n Eric so terrified?

What three boys go on top of the mountain searching for the beast?
When Ralph, Simon and Jack first climb the mountain they see a dip in the ground filled with blue flowers. The view from the mountain top reveals that they definitely are on an island. The island is roughly boat shaped with the mountain at the blunt end. The island slopes down through jungle to its pointed end, where it terminates in a rocky outcrop connected to the main island by a narrow causeway. Ralph points out that he can't see any smoke or boats and they assume from this that the island has no other inhabitants. On their way back to the beach the boys discover that there are pigs on the island.Later in the book Ralph, Roger and Jack climb the mountain looking for the beast, which Samneric claimed that they saw there. In the darkness they see the body of the dead parachutist and mistaken believe that it is the beast.
What did the boys see on the mountain top?
When Ralph, Roger and Jack climb the mountain they see the dead body of the pilot. The parachute lines have become tangled in the rocks making the body move when the wind blows. This creates the illusion that the movements are being made by something which is alive. In the darkness the boys assume that the indirect shape which they see moving must be "the beast." Sam and Eric also came to the same conclusion when they earlier saw the dead pilot's body.
