**************

Once upon a time, in the land of Whobits, otherwise known as the Tire, there was a young Whobit named Frolo Bagkins. He was the nephew of Bilo Bagkins, a known adventure-taker. Froho was sitting on a river bank, reading, when all of a sudden he heard a horse going by, with a wizard he knew, named Rudolf the Red singing. Frolo ran out by near where he had heard Rudolf singing, and yelled.....

"RUDOLF!! How wonderful it is to see you!!"

"Why, hello there Frolo, the young Whobit, why don't you jump in with me?" Rudolf asked.

"Sure!" Frolo jumped into the horse carriage gaily. They went along the road for quite a few minutes in silence. Soon they had arrived at Bilho's house. Rudolf got out of the horse carriage, and so did Frolo. Rudolf went up to the small door and banged it with his stick. Bilo opened the door.

"Hello there, Rudolf and Frolo! Come in, come in." He ushered them into the door. "I was just getting ready to have a spot of tea. Would you like some?"

"Sure." Frolo and Rudolf said in response. Bilo grabbed a nearby spork and put it in his mouth for a second, and all of a sudden, he disappeared! Popping it out of his mouth, Bilo grinned at them, while Rudolf looked concerned and red-nosed.

"AMAZING, isn't it?" Bilo looked at them excitedly.

"Let me see that, Bilo, old boy," Rudolf said, with a look of concern on his face.

"NO! It's mine! All mine! Just mine!! It's my..my..my precious..."

"BILO!" Rudolf shouted, showing his power, his voice escalating. "GIVE ME THE SPORK! YOU KNOW THAT USUALLY I DO NOT SHOW MY POWER, BUT I DO HAVE IT!!!"

"All..all..all right then," Bilo said, handing Rudolf the spork.

"I plan on leaving soon," Frolo said. "I have to meet Lambwise Gampee at one of the pubs tonight."

"Well, goodbye then," Rudolf and Bilo said at the same time.

"Come back later, Frolo. Here," Rudolf said.

"Ok, I'll be back." Frolo left for the pub, to meet Lambwise. Bilo took his chance and retrieved the spork from the spot that Rudolf had set it.

"You cannot keep this, Bilo," Rudolf told him sternly.

"Whyever not?"

"It is not healthy for you. I expect you will be leaving on your journey soon?"

"Yes, tonight in fact. Leave everything to Frolo. My bags are packed, and I really must be off."

"What about the spork? Will that go to him too?"

"Yes, yes of course. Well, I must be off." Bilo grabbed his bags and was getting ready to set off WHEN...

"You still have the spork, Bilo." Bilo stops, and stands still.

"Oh, yes." Bilo drops the spork on the floor with a clatter, and with that, he was off.
