The Hobbit – Chapter One

 Bilbo Baggins, the Hobbit, met Gandalf outside his step while enjoying a pipe of tobacco. They made plans to have tea on Wednesday.  On Wednesday, Bilbo was setting up some tea for himself when a ring from his doorbell reminded him that he had company today.  When he went to open the door, he jumped because it was not Gandalf at the door it was a dwarf.

 The dwarf walked in and said “Is there anyone else here yet?”

 Bilbo repeated “Anyone else, why what are you talking about?”.

 The dwarf replied “Any of the others, there was a meeting planned here and we were promised food”.

 Bilbo stuttered, “Meeting? Food?” so Bilbo went to the kitchen and grabbed some more bread.  He asked the dwarf if he wanted tea, he replied “No, I’ll be fine with some beer”.

 Sure enough, by the end of the night his house was full of dwarfs. They ate all his food, sang many songs and finally Gandalf arrived with Thorin the most important dwarf of all.  Bilbo was surprised because as soon as Thorin saw him Gandalf said “Isn’t he perfect?”  Thorin needed a 14^th member for his adventure and that person was Bilbo Baggins of Bag-End.
