(AUDIO: Bilbo about Bag End)
"Well, I am Bilbo Baggins your Tour Guide and I will start by further introducing myself. I can still remember how my big adventure began. I was just sitting in my hobbit hole when Gandalf visited me. Before I knew it I was playing host for 13 dwarves and soon after I would begin an adventure that would take me half way across Middle-Earth to the lair of Smaug the Dragon. It was me who found the One Ring in the orc caverns where Gollum also lived at that time. I had to do a riddle game with Gollum which I eventually won by asking what I had in my pocket. I barely escaped all the adventures with the dwarves and I returned to the Shire carying the One Ring with me as a treasure. It was many years later that I found out what the true nature was of the Ring and that was the beginning of the adventure my nephew Frodo had to undertake. After the War of the Ring I left middle-earth together with Frodo, Gandalf, Elrond and Galadriel."
Quote:
'Very well, very well, Master Elrond! said Bilbo suddenly. 'Say no more! It is plain enough what you are poiting at. Bilbo the silly Hobbit started this affair, and Bilbo had better finish it, or himself.'
"Shall we continue to our next character: Frodo ?"
