Title: The Gaffer

It's not the reading, mind, that worries me. All my children can read, and did their time at Gammer Brockhouse's the same as yours, but Samwise, he went along to school already a-knowing enough to read a bit, and that was Mr. Bilbo's doing. And it's not the stories, except that bless the boy he'll listen to them all day long whether he's heard 'em before or no. All youngsters listen to stories. But Samwise, he listens harder. It's time he set Elves and Dragons aside. And how's he to do that when he's up at Bag End a-meeting Dwarves?
