lazy-loading

It took me a long time but I finally got nHibernate's Hello World to work. It worked after I did "lazy loading." Honestly, I couldn't tell you why it all worked, but it did and now I am reading you don't need lazy loading. Is there a hello world that anyone has that is bare bones making nHibernate work? Do you have to have lazy loading? I ask because I would like to use nHibernate but I need to understand how things are working.

Thank you.

Do you know of a hello world that doesn't have so much overhead?

Is it better to use lazy loading?

EDIT: I am using asp.net 3.5. Web Application Project.
