Lord of the Flies
Piggy - to the 'littleuns.'
“Now, this story is about the place where I live, called Camberley. Now, Camberley is quite an old place, but it hasn't been called Camberley all the time. It used to be called Cambridgetown. And they used to get mixed up with the letters... between Cambridge or Cambridgetown. So letters that were to a person in Cambridgetown... used to go to a person in Cambridge. So they got a bit mixed up. So they thought they'd change... the name at the post office, because it was a post office... that had all the trouble of sorting the letters. And they thought they'd leave the ''cam'' from Cambridgetown, and they-- ''ber'' is a river, and there are a lot of rivers around there. ''Camber.'' And then ''ley,'' because often the towns near there ended with ''ley.'' Their names ended with ''ley.'' So they called it Cam-ber-ley. Camberley. And that's the true story of Camberley.”
