One fine sunny day in the Shire,Gandalf came to visit.He rode his horse up to Bag End,the home of his dear friend Bilbo Baggins.He knocked on the door and waited.
Bilbo opened the door,squinted at the wizard and said "So YOU'VE come back again."
After saying this he turned around and went into the house,leaving the door open with the astonished Gandalf standing on the doorstep.Gandalf finally got over his shock and came into the house.
"Don't knock your head on my lamp!It's been taking a terrible beating from you for years!" said Bilbo.
Gandalf didn't comment on this.Instead he seated himself at the table and waited for Bilbo to offer him something.
"Oh,I guess you'll be wanting something to eat?" said Bilbo,in an aggravated tone.
Gandalf stared.What had happened to the polite Mr. Baggins?Bilbo sat down on the chair next to him and belched loudly.Gandalf nearly jumped out of his skin.
A few minutes later,a very sleepy Frodo emerged from his bedroom.He passed right by Gandalf without acknowledging him.He grabbed some bread from one of the cupboards and passed by Gandalf again.He knocked the hat right off Gandalf's head without apologizing.
Gandalf was appalled.What was wrong with these hobbits?Usually they practically worshiped him,trying to make him eat third helpings at each meal,always asking if he was comfortable,delighted that he had come to visit.
Suddenly Merry,Pippin,and Sam came in.Pippin was the only one who said anything to him.
"Hello Gandalf,old friend!How are you?" said Pippin,cheerfully,whacking Gandalf on the back.
Gandalf thought this was ironic.Usually this young Took was the bane of his existance.Today,Gandalf was very happy to see him.He answered him eagerly and told Pippin to sit down next to him.Sam and Merry grunted to show that they knew that Gandalf existed.
Gandalf leaned close to Pippin. "How long have they been like this?"
"Like what?Oh,impolite grunting pigs? A few months,perhaps.Bilbo's the worst,you know.He's not like the others.He doesn't ignore you,he acts like you're a huge burden." said Pippin,with a sigh.He brightened,though,when he realized that Gandalf,for once,was interested in talking to him.
"Pippin,we must do something about this." said Gandalf earnestly.
