Once upon a time there lived a hobbit named Bilbo Baggins, created by Mr. J.R.R. Tolkien. Bilbo is a quiet, homey rabbit. That is, untill Gandalf the wizard comes back! Gandalf spells T-R-O-U-B-L-E, at least for stay-at-home-in-my-nice-hobbit-hole-with-the-windows-on-all-the-nice-rooms-and-the-tons of-wardrobes-and- the-well-stocked-larder. Alas, poor Bilbo is rudely disturbed during his quiet tea by dwarves,Thorin Oakenshield,Fili and Kili, Oin and Gloin, Bofur,Bombur and Bifur, and others, who make up ‘Thorin and Company’, who are going on a quest for lost treasure! FLASHBACK.

Waaay before Bilbo is introduced, Thorin lived with his dad and grandad, in a big cave with lots of treasure. Unfortunately, sometimes too much gold isn’t a good thing. Example: A dragon named Smaug came out of the hills and killed all the dwarves in their treasure filled cave. Only Thorin, his brother Dori, and their dad and grandad survived. BACK TO THE PRESENT.

Gandalf has found a map that shows a secret entrance into the cave….. the dragon-inhabited cave!!I bet I know what you’re thinking. You know why? Because I’m thinking exact-uh-ly the same thing. ‘Gandalf, I know wizards are crazy, but seriously. YOU WANT TO JUST WALK INTO A DRAGON’S CAVE??!!! A WIZARD EATING DRAGON??!!’ But Gandalf, if he were here, would reply that, no he wasn’t going to the cave. He would say he has ‘pressing bussiness elsewhere’. And you know what? I’m not going to tell you what his ‘bussiness’ was….

Back to our homely hobbit! Poor Bilbo. He encounters trolls,elves, goblins,gollums,Wargs, and shape shifters…. sometimes all by himself! In all cases but one, the, shall I say, ‘interesting characters’ he meets want to eat/kill/force a confession out of him and/or steal a very nice ring…. or all of the afore mentioned ‘terrors’.* Now that I’ve scared you enough, I think I’ll leave you to wonder: What exactly does happen to Bilbo? What very nice ring? What is going to happen to that hobbit??!! Well, if you want to find out then click below! Mwahahaha!!





P.S. I wonder what hobbits taste like? Just kidding!
