Where is simple.el?

I'd like to read simple.el... but I just can't find it :-D Where
should I look for simple.el?

C-h f next-line RET

Then follow the link to the `simple.el' file.

Or, in the more recent emacsen (not sure when it was introduced):

M-x find-library RET simple RET

It may be the case that you don't have the lisp sources but rather
only the byte-compiled libraries because your distributor has made
the lisp sources an optional package.

It looks like you are on Debian.  You can find out which packages
provide a particular file on Debian systems using their website:

http://packages.debian.org/file:simple.el&mode=exactfilename

Yes, I tried find-library and I tried clicking on simple.el link, but
library can't be found. So it is probably compiled.

I'm on ubuntu 7.04 in fact. The link didn't help much, I looked into
/usr/share/emacs already and couldn't find anything there. So, is there
a place where I can download simple.el?

I think you will find that the package name emacs21-el mentioned on
page that I linked to is used for the Ubuntu package too.
