One day in The Shire, Bilbo and Frodo Baggins sat in Bag End talking of the
activities of the night before. Last night Bilbo had his 111th birthday
party. He planed to leave that night for a new life with the Elves. Frodo
had no idea his uncle was going to leave and he was going to be given a
surprise that would change his life forever.
"Frodo, my nephew, I have something very important to tell you. Tonight, I plan to go to the Elves. I have something to give you. You must keep it secret and hidden" Bilbo told him.
"Oh, of course Uncle Bilbo."
"You don't understand Frodo. This is the most important thing you will do in your whole life You must this…" Bilbo pulls out a ring. "this is the one ring of power. I found it in the Misty Mountains 60 years ago. You must tell no one that you have it or that it is at The Shire. Only you, me, Gandalf the Gray, and Gullom know that I have it here."
"Why couldn't you give it to Gandalf? I am sure he would take care of it." Frodo said.
"I can't take it." Gandalf said as he entered the room. "I see that you finally decided to tell him. It took you long enough to tell him and you waited until you were leaving. Bilbo, my dear friend, how have you been?"
"Good, good. How have your travels been?" Bilbo asked.
"Good, good." Gandalf answered.
"Well, it's time for me to go." Bilbo said.
"Bilbo, what I am supposed to do? I am just a quite Hobbit." Frodo asked.
"You will live here, I am giving you Bag End. You will get everything that I own… Here, take the ring and keep it safe and hidden."
"Okay, but will I ever see you again?" questioned Frodo.
"I don't think so. The ring was given me a longer life, but when I give it to you, my age will catch up to me." Bilbo responded.
Frodo ran over and hugged his uncle.
"I am going to miss you, too." Bilbo said.
That night just after dinner, Bilbo gathered his bags. He put the key to the house in a small pouch and gave it to Frodo.
"Take care of Frodo. He will need your guidance in the future." Bilbo said to Gandalf.
To Frodo he said, "Take care, keep safe, and remember what I told you to do with the ring."
After he said this, he left for his long journey to Rivendell, the home of the Elves. Frodo and Bilbo had a short farewell.
The next day, Frodo and Gandalf wanted to know more about the ring. So Gandalf said that he would go to the library.
"Keep the ring hidden and safe and tell NO ONE. I will be back as soon as I can." Gandalf said.
That night Gandalf rode his horse off. Frodo stayed home and hid the ring.
