Chapter Two

Goodbye to Sam

The end of the week was soon there and Frodo went down to number three Bag shot row to say good bye to Sam Wise Gamgee the only friend he had since moving to Bag End.

"Oh I hope they are home," thought Frodo to himself.

Frodo knocked on the small round yellow door and a small girl with strawberry blonde hair, and about five years old opened the door, her green eyes lit up when she saw that it was Frodo.

"Oh hello Mr. Frodo, are you here to see Sam?" she asked smiling at him.

"Hello May, yes is Sam home, I wanted to say goodbye to him before I leave." Said Frodo.

"Leave? Were you going sir," said a voice behind May.

"I'm going to see the elves with my Uncle and Gandalf, remember Sam?" said Frodo.

"Oh, right, when will you be back Mr. Frodo?" asked Sam hoping that it would not take very long.

Uncle Bilbo said about four months Sam," said Frodo he was seeing the tears weld up in Sam's eyes.

"Four months, that's a long time Mr. Frodo, who will play with me," said Sam as the first tear ran down his cheek.

"I'll be back before you know it Sam, and I'll tell you what when I get back, we'll spend a day fishing just you and me how does that sound?" said Frodo looking at Sam and wiping away the tears in his eyes.

"Alright Mr. Frodo, promise?" said Sam finally giving in to a little smile.

"I promise Sam, I know, maybe I can get something in Rivendell for you," said Frodo thinking he knew what Sam would want.

"Oh would you Mr. Frodo sir, I would love something elven," said Sam.

"I thought you would Sam, I thought you would." Said Frodo as he hugged him goodbye.
