Well,here it is, the long awaited chapter 4. Hope you like it.
Just a reminder, that there are some lines in that chapter that are from the FOTR EE, so if you haven't seen it, then sorry, but I couldn't think of anything else. These incredible lines don't belong to me however, but to the writers of LOTR.
Chapter 4- Concerning Hobbits
Sam led them into the kitchen and told them to sit if they would like. Peter and Susan refused and sat on the cold, hard kitchen floor instead. Sam put a small kettle on and began to tell them more about hobbits.
'' Hobbits have been living and farming in the four farthings of the Shire for many hundreds of years quite content to ignore and be ignored by the world of the big folk.'' Sam began. Peter and Susan looked at each other, realizing that they were probably called ''Big Folk'' in the Shire. ''Middle-Earth, being, after all, full of strange creatures beyond count, hobbits must seem of little importance- being neither renowned as great warriors nor counted among the very wise.'' Sam continued. ''In fact, it has been remarked by some that hobbits only real passion is for food. A rather unfair observation as we have also developed a keen interest in the brewing of ales, and the smoking of pipe weed. But where our hearts truly lie is in peace, and quiet, and good-tilled earth. For all hobbits share a love of things that grow. And yes, no doubt to others, our ways seem quaint. But today, of all days, it is brought home to me,it is not bad thing to celebrate a simple life.'' Sam ended. Peter and Susan stared at the hobbit lad, enthralled by his description on hobbits. Sam voice broke through their thoughts. '' In fact, Mr. Bilbo Baggins is turning 111 years old soon. ''
Peter and Susan looked at him in shock. '' 111 years old, he must be a well-perserved hobbit then.'' Peter said,shaking his head. Susan nodded in agreement. '' Well, since it seems like you don't have a home to stay in, your welcome to stay here in the guest rooms for a while, if you'd wish.'' Sam said. ''That's very kind of you Sam.'' Susan said. '' Well then, no sense just sitting here, follow me.'' Sam said, leading Peter and Susan to their rooms.
It's a short chapter, but expect longer chapters during spring break, if I can find the time to write.
