I am Saruman

Saraman

Gandalf had just appeared to Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli in Fangorn Forest, and after neutralizing their weapons, he said: "You are tracking the footsteps of two young Hobbits."

"Where are they?" asked Aragorn harshly.

"They passed this way," continued Inspector Gandalf, "the day before yesterday. They met someone they did not expect. Does that comfort you?"

"Who are you?" asked Aragorn. "Show yourself!" Inspector Gandalf came out of the light and revealed who he really was.

"Gandalf!" said Aragorn, wide-eyed.

"Forgive me," said Legolas, bowing. "I mistook you for Saruman."

"I am Saruman..." said Gandalf. That was an unfortunate thing to say, for at that moment, Gimli threw his axe, Legolas shot three arrows, and Aragorn hurled his sword...all at Gandalf!

"Uh," said Legolas. "Maybe we should have let him finish what he was going to say."

"Nonsense," said Gimli. "He said he was Saruman." They were quite startled when Inspector Gandalf, who now looked like a pin-cussion, got up and spoke.

"You could have let me finish my sentence! I meant to say, '...Saruman as he should have been.'" The others were so frightened, they turned tail and ran as fast as they could out of Fangorn, leaving Inspector Gandalf standing there alone. I knew I shouldn't of said that line about 'I am Saruman', he thought as he pulled the arrows and ax and sword out of his face.
