Piggy and the twins collect armfuls of fruit in an attempt to cheer Ralph up and reassure him that they can manage by themselves. They did this because Ralph had become withdrawn and depressed when he realised how many of the group had deserted to join Jack's tribe.

In lord of the flies what does piggy mean when he keeps saying 'them fruit'?
This is an example of ambiguity he could mean that he was literally interested in the fruit on the island or some people believe he was referring to the fruits of the spirit because Golding often had Biblical ties in his literature.

What is taken short in the Lord of the Flies chapter 5?
Apparently "taken short" is a British term for having to use the bathroom when you don't have facilities around. Based on several searches I done, in Lord of the Flies, it refers to having diarrhea. (They told the Littluns not to pick fruit if they are "taken short" because it's dirty.) While some of the boys do apparently suffer from diarrhoea (from eating unripe fruit) "taken short" is just a generalised term for needing to urinate or defecate when you are unable to reach a toilet. I think that the reference to being taken short was to remind the littleuns not to urinate or defecate near the fruit trees or water source as it was "dirty."
