Making food
Disclaimer: I don't own these awesome Characters, they belong to Tolkien only.
This is a short story about the members of the Fellowship as they prepare food during the trip.
Chapter 1- Merry and Pippins turn to make supper.
"Are you sure?", asked Merry.
"Yes, of course", replied Pippin and threw a bunch herbs into the pot.
Merry looked thoughtfully into the pot: "I do not think you can put stones are in a soup…"
"That will be delicious, trust me", answered Pippin and stirred the soup with large spoon.
"Give me the bread please", Merry called.
Pippin went to his backpack and threw the bread to Merry.
"Sam did this once", Merry said and began to crumble the bread into the pot.
"There's something missing", thought Pippin and rummaged in his backpack.
"Maybe some carrots?", suggested Merry.
"Good idea", Pippin murmured and began to cut the carrots.
"I got it!", cried Merry: "How about a little bit rabbit meat? Aragorn had caught two this morning."
Merry took the rabbit meat and helped Pippin to stir the soup.
Meanwhile
The Fellowship, except for Merry and Pippin who were busy preparing the food, sat around the campfire and talked to each other.
Gimli had just finished his story about the reclaiming of Erebor as Legolas cried out.
"What in all of Arda? Legolas everything alright?", Aragorn asked in surprise.
Instead of answering the elf only pointed forward to the ground.
Aragorn went to Legolas to see what scared him so much. Directly in front of his feet was a small spider. The ranger had to laugh.
Legolas glared at him. "That's not funny! You were in Mirkwood and you have seen the giant spiders there!"
"I'm sorry, ok?", said Aragorn.
"What's wrong with him?", Boromir asked curiously.
"Where I come from, there are spiders much larger than this. They attack our guards and had killed many of my people. Their poison is very strong and works quickly. It's not easy to kill them", Legolas replied.
"Food is ready", called Pippin.
Everyone jumped up and went to the campfire where it already smelled wonderful.
Merry gave each one of them a bowl of soup. Then he took himself a little and sat down also. They all ate as Boromir suddenly spat out his soup.
"What's this?" he asked in surprise and looked into his bowl. "Are these stones?!"
Merry and Pippin had to grin.
"I told you that can't put stones into a soup.", said Merry.
Thanks for reading. Hope you liked it. The next Chapter is about Aragorn and Legolas making Food.
