THE ADVENTURE OF A LIFE-TIME
CHAPTER ONE
THE HUNTING TRICK
"Good morning Frodo my lad." Said Bilbo. "Good morning uncle," said 14 year old Frodo Baggins with a yawn." Would you like eggs for breakfast," asked Bilbo. "Yes please," said Frodo with a smile. As Frodo gobbled a rather large bite of egg he heard a knock at the big green door. As Fordo went to the door he saw through the window that it was 8 year old Sam.
"Hello Sam," he said as he opened the door. "Hello, Mr. Frodo," Sam said with his normal ear to ear smile. "Mr. Frodo, do you like journeys?" Asked Sam. "Well, yes, I suppose I do. Why?" said Frodo. "Well, my father and I have to go all the way to The Blue Mountains." Said Frodo. "Why aren't Halfred or Hamson going [no offense intended]?" said Frodo. "None taken," Sam said with a little chuckle.
"They are tired of going places that they can't sleep in there own beds so my father finally said I could take there place and he said I could take someone on the 8 day journey if anyone would want there child out that long." "If only I had a plan to get my uncle to let me go," said Frodo with an unsure look on his face.
The boys talked at the door steps for a long time until Bilbo told them to come in and talk in the living room while he worked in the study. The boys talked about anything and every thing that could possibly make his uncle want to let him go. "Boys it is time for 2nd breakfast," said Bilbo with a humorous smile. "Already," Sam said with a scared look on his face. "I got to get home," Sam said fiercely. "Now, now just wait a minute Sam-Wise," Bilbo said. "I talk to your mother and she said that it would be alright if you stayed for 2nd breakfast." "Really?" Sam said with a look of astonishment. "Really, I can stay for a meal without anyone else from my family." "Yes," Bilbo replied.
Frodo and Sam were relived when someone came to the door and asked for Bilbo to come into town and pick up a bag of seed he had ordered, so they could be alone and talk about their plan.
After about ½ hour they came up with a perfect plan. They got it completely organized right before Bilbo walked in the door. "Hello Uncle," Frodo said with a childish smile. "Hello my boy." Said Blibo. "Uncle I was wondering if we could go on a hunting trip this next week?" said Frodo. "Uh, hun-hun – hunting!!" ( Bilbo was very afraid of wild animals) "Mr. Bilbo, my father and I are going to the Blue Mountains to hunt. They have the finest deer so that's why where're going all the way there and I'm sure that my father wouldn't mind if Frodo came too, said Sam with a hopeful look. "Well, I'll talk to Hamfast about it, why don't you boys go fishing and I'll talk to your father and tell you the answer when you get back." "Sounds good," Frodo said with a happy grin. "I better go home and ask my mother first," Sam said with doubtful look.
"You just go fishing and I'll talk to your mother for you," Bilbo said. Great, Sam replied. Frodo went to get the fishing poles. "Let's go, Sam." "Alright, Mr. Frodo." Said Sam.
They came in 1 hour later and saw Bilbo and Hamfast in the kitchen drinking hot tea. "Hello Uncle," said Frodo. "Hello father," said Sam.
"Hello boys," they said together. "I've had a long talk with Hamfast and I've decided to let you go Frodo." "Really? Oh, boy, Mr. Frodo, you're coming with us!" said Sam.
