-There Or back again , Or Hobbit Holidays...
-No, thank you! Enough wishes, visitors, and distant relatives!
-What about old friends?
-Gandalf?
- Hello, friend.
-Gandalf ! It's nice to see you again! Come in, please, I thought you will never arrive!
-I couldn't miss your birthday! Bilbo Baggins! 111 years and you haven't aged at all.
- Your garden looks beautiful
Therefore I like it a lot, just like I love the rest of the lovely Shire. Even though, I think I need a holiday, very long holiday, I don't expect to come back from it.
- So you still persist in your intention?
-Yes. I've promised myself a few months ago to go and see the mountains again, Gandalf, and finish my book by the way. There and Back Again
-Fine. If so, there's nothing to talk about. Follow your plan... but remember: Follow it till the very end!... I hope both you and the rest of us will benefit from it.
-I expect it, too. And in any case, I want to have fun on Thursday and trick everyone.
-I wonder who will laugh
-We will see, and now listen to this and tell me if you like it.
-There was a hobbit who lived in a hole. It wasn't an ugly, moist or dirty hole, stinky and full of vermin, nor dry, empty, sandy hole, with no place to sit down or have a snack.
-It was a hobbit hole and that means all the luxuries.
-It had green, perfectly... well, almost perfectly round door. Every morning the light of the rising sun was creeping lazily through the almost round, deeply embedded windows.Inside the Hill
-as local people called this place
-there were many rooms, including a bunch of pantries (hobbits just loved to eat), and a few bedrooms, storage rooms, bathrooms, wardrobes, etc In that cozy hole livedBilbo,, Baggins.
-Ahh, what a wonderful day! (60 years earlier)
-Hobbit: Or There and Back Again
-Yym , Good Morning
-What do you mean?... Are you wishing me a good day or are you expecting a good day no matter what my desires are? Or maybe you are feeling good today, or you're looking forward to something particularly good for you?
-Probably a bit of everything. I also think that this is a perfect morning for a cup of hot tea. Please, sit on the bench by the door.
-Thank you kindly, but I don't have time to relax and drink tea.
-Im looking for someone to share an adventure.
-and it's not easy to find someone like that.
-I think! Here? People here are calm and simple; no-one needs adventures. They are so horribly unpleasant. And uncomfortable.
-You can even be late for dinner because of things like that. I have no idea what's so appealig about them.
-Good morning! We don't need any adventures here, thank you very much. Try by the Water or behind the Hill.
-How many different things can "Good morning" mean in your mouth! Now you want to say that you want to get rid of me and that you won't really have a good morning until I leave!
-What again? No, not at all, kind Sir. I don't think I know your surname?
-Why yes, sir, just like that: there's no point in denying. As for the surnames, I know yours, honorable Bilbo Baggins. You however have surely heard my name, though you didn't know it was me. I'm Gandalf. Yes, Gandalf is me!
And to think that I've lived to the time when Belladonna Tuk's son dismisses me from the door with his "Good morning" like an importunate peddler who sells buttons!
-Gandalf? Gandalf! I'll be damned! It can't be the wandering wizard who gave my father magical diamond cufflinks, which themselves were closing and unbuckling on cue?
That Gandalf, who on parties was telling wonderful stories about dragons and goblins, giants, saved princesses and unexpected luck of the widows' sons? That, who was known for the greatests fireworks? Oh, forgive me for treating you like that!
I didn't know that you're still doing this.
-What else could I do?
I'm glad that you remember anything. You kindly recall my fireworks, and that's always a start. So for the sake of your old grandfather Took and poor Belladonna I will fulfill your request.
-Forgive me, but I didn't request anything
Of course You did, twice. You requested forgiveness. In fact, I'll do more than that: I'll send you to meet that adventure.
It'll provide me with great entertainment and you'll benefit from it. And it will be very profitable if everything will go as it should.
-I'm sorry, but I don't want any adventures, thank you very much. Not today. Have a good day!
-But please, come and have tea with me whenever you want!Maybe tomorrow? Yes, come tomorrow! Have a Good Day!
-Oh my! It's this time already?!
-I'm sorry you had to wa..it..
-Dwalin , at your service.
-Bilbo Baggins , you also.
-I was just about to eat my tea. Deign to keep me company.
Op, sorry for a moment...
Well, finally you arri...ved..
-Balin, at your service.
-Yym , Thank you , come in, please, and help yourself some tea!
- I'd prefer a splash of beer, if it's not too much a trouble. I wouldn't refuse a piece of cake either... preferably lemon with cumin. Do you maybe have it?
-I think that I might find something
-Dwalin !!!
-Brother !!!
How was your journey?
-Balin... It's good to see you.
- Well, so this little one has to help us?
- I don't know, he's somewhat weird, a bit...frightened
- Well, let's wait for the rest... I've heard that we're going to find a decent feast here.
-The rest? What rest...?
Well, I hope that's Gandalf
-Kili

(Fili)- I see that Balin andDwalin are here already. Let's join the company then!
- Company!? Wait , wait , wait ,which company!?

-Hmm? Oh , yes , door...
-Oh my god
-Dori , Nori , Ori , Oin , Gloin

-He knows the contents of my pantry better than me!
May you be damned, stupid dwarves! WHy won't any of you come and help me with this?!
Break the cups in a few moments, cause when the knives are getting dull, Mr Bilbo is getting angry a bunch of crust from a hundred plates!
-He arrived
