The Hobbit Book Review: Ch 5

Bilbo woke up, still dazed from his hard fall.  Dwarfs and goblins were both gone, he was all alone in the dark and quiet tunnel.  He crawled on all fours until he could regain his senses.  He felt something cold and smooth, but it was no rock, it was a small ring.  Without thinking he picked it up and placed it in his front pocket.  He did not know it at the time, but this ring would forever change his luck.  Down he went, further into the tunnel, to the very heart of the mountain.  

The Hobbit Book Review: Chapter 4

After leaving Rivendell, Gandalf lead Bilbo and the dwarfs up the mountain pass.  They climbed the Misty Mountains for days on end without reaching its summit.  Then one particular day while climbing up, they ran into a terrible thunderstorm.  All around them were violent crashes of lighting, horrible roars of thunder, a down pour of rain, and to beat it all there were stone giants throwing massive boulders not too far from Gandalf and company.
