The magical adventures of Mister Bilbo Bagins, the Hobbit
Through wild land, black forest, for misty mountains.
There and back again.
The fairy tale
of John Ronald Reuel Tolkien: "Hobbit"
Translation : N.Rachmanovoy
There once lived
In his hole in the ground
A Hobbit
Not in a damp dirty hole
This hole was for Hobbits
There are no magical things about Hobbits
There dress in bright clothing, and don't wear shoes, as they naturally grow warm furry soles on their feet
They have good natured faces, and they often laugh, especially after lunch
And they lunch twice a day, if they can afford the luxury
Our Hobbit, Bilbo Baggins, was certain that he would never encounter adventure in his life
And that he would not permit the unexpected to occur to him
But I will tell you a story on how he was pulled into these adventures, the very same ones he was trying to avoid
And to his great surprise, he was commiting the very same adventuerous acts that he was trying so hard to avoid
On a quiet, early morning
A long time ago, when the world was more rich and green
Bilbo Baggins, after breakfeast, sat on his doorstep and smoked his wooden pipe
Good morning
What are you trying to imply?
Do you wish me a good morning, or mean that it is a good morning whether I want not; or that you feel good this morning; or that it is morning to be good on?
The first, the second, and the third
And a very very morning to be outdoors and breath the fresh air
Please sit down and join me, we have nowhere to rush to, and the whole day is before us
>> Gandalf: Very pretty!
But I have no time today.
I am looking for someone to share in an adventure
that I am arranging, and it's very difficult to find anyone.
>> Bilbo Baggins: I should think so - in these parts!
We are Hobbits!
We are a simple, quiet and peaceful people, and we don't like adventures
From adventures come only nasty things, and only uneasiness
If you wish to find someone else to partake in your adventures
May I advise you to check over there by the lake, or over there over the hills
Good morning!
Oh, the many meanings one encounters upon hearing the phrase "Good Morning"
That only could that it is time for me to leave!
>> Bilbo Baggins: Not at all, not at all, my dear sir! Regrettably I do not even know your name
Oh but you do know if it, dear sir!
And I know yours, Mister Bilbo Baggins
And you do know my name,
though you don't remember that I belong to it.
I am Gandalf.
and Gandalf means me!
>>Bilbo Baggins: How? You are Gandalf?
Who would've known, eh?
Could it really be, that you are the very Gandalf the travelling magician
Who is credited to sending off countless young boys and girls on adventures, whom all dissapeared in locations unbeknownst to anyone?
Well... I am truly sorry
I did not consider that you may still be in buisness
And what else is there for me to do?
My mother, Belladona, she talked much of you and your adventures with Goblins, Giants, Princesses...
Well, I must say it is pleasant that you do in fact remember some details of me
This means that you are not completely useless
And for the sake of your mother, I'll grant you that which you have asked of me
Forgive me sir, but I have not asked you of any favours
No, this is already the second time you have asked for my departure
I'll be on my way
Ah, thank you
And go elsewhere
I will certainly send you on my little adventure
It will entertain me, and for you, it will be put you to good use
Thank you, Mister Gandalf
But I truly do not feel like going
I am sorry, but perhaps... another time
Don't misunderstand, you are of course welcome here at any time, say tomorrow
Drink a cup of tea
But regretfully not today, I am sorry
Bilbo darted for his hole, to ease himself from such a outlandish conversation
And immediately set on regaining his sanity with a few pastries and a glass of something warm
On another day, right as Bilbo was enjoying some tea
Someone disturbed his peace, loudly rining the doorbell
Dwalin, at your service, greetings
How do you do... Bilbo Baggins, at yours
I uh... was right about to drink my tea at this very moment, care to join my table?
