my summary of "hobbit" 1937 by tolkien
intro the TITLE is awkward "hobbit" what is that word? the book barely said a bit and too late, on page 3 and a bit more in a later book, and the lazy author chose to say "mystery' instead of describe it. so i must introduce: perhaps due to its size it was a type of dwarf? nope. we see in a later book they are nearer to human than to dwarf" so not dwarf. so they are genus homo+ species hobbit near homo sapien. see fan fiction about the origin of hobbits at link:

there.
c1, in an era when dragons flew, in a place named "shire", Bil was a type of (oops not "type of dwarf" despite size, but "nearer to human than dwarves to human" in beginning of ring. see fan fiction about the origin of hobbits link in intro.) type of human: genus=homo +species called hobbit [distinguished by hair on the foot below ankle.] like most hobbits, bil lived in a hill-hole [ho+bbit matched ho+le] which is the characteristic of his species of hole dwellers. his name was bilbo baggins. a wizard named gandalf invited bil on a DDangerous adventure to get TTreasure. b' met a group of DWARVES with names that rhymed in pairs for example "balin and dwalin" [the a in their language was correctly read like pa and father and the o in cob despite one consonant] or "fili and kili" [the i in their language was correctly read like ee in cheese or feet].
TWO: rain wet the travelers. at night they saw a fire and sent b' to "silently spy". he saw DANGEROUS trolls. b.b. chose to steal a purse from a TROLL pocket. "not a good guy". surprise! the purse is enchanted to announce if it gets stolen. the trolls captured the burglar bil. when he does not return the dwarves went to investigate but unprepared. trolls captured them too. the trolls argued how to prepare them as food. a voice added arguments that lasted until dawn that caused their defeat when the sunlight turned them to "the mountain they were made from" permanent stone. [not freed at dark, a flaw is the troll wrestling that allowed bil to escape yet he did not go to warn the dwarves despite thinking that option before stealing so i censored his freedom as if still captured].
NOTE: these two ugly parts were replaced in the video. instead of bil being a burglar, which misunderstood gandalf who meant "quiet" matching hobbit nature to "move unseen and silently," added in rings, they were victims of burglar, the trolls stole two ponies from the dwarves. also instead of the argument causing them to turn to stone gandalf wiz broke a rock, with action, causing sun to petrify them for saving the dwarf group. act to rescue... gandalf had started traveling with them and returned from scouting ahead to act and save them.
After g' saved the team they found the troll cave [where they had hid from the sun on previous days]. inside it was food [to replace the lost food when the pony got scared and jumped into a river, considering the trolls will no longer eat!] and the dead trolls' GOLD. they also took some swords.
THREE: the team came to an ELF town. the elves recognized the swords [from troll cave]. an elf taught them "the light at sunset" will help them find the secret entrance. +fan fiction: the dwarves were EAGER to go to treasure so after one night packed food and left after a literal "short rest".
FOUR: on a mountain trail, the team saw GIANTS were throwing big boulders to each other and catching them. [game but video battle]. Later, a hail storm with lightning flashes and powerful thunder, and howling wind hit the adventurers. they slept in an empty cave, until GOBLINS from deep in the cave stole all their ponies. a scary nightmare woke b' so saw goblins so yelled. wiz awoke and escaped, in a bright flash that killed some of his attackers. goblins "captured the dwarves and Bilbo Baggins." The Great Goblin accused "Murderers". Gandalf reappeared, in a surprise rescue mission. he stepped out from smoke and sparks, that flew all over and burnt and confused goblins. g' plunged an enchanted sword through the Great Goblin which killed it. the dwarves grabbed back the swords. g' led them to the EAST, (in cavern dwarves could not know) and was swinging his sword that glowed that indicated goblins. it cut through the crowd of goblins that had surrounded them. when goblins came beside them they cut them. g' led them into a long tunnel eastward and dwarves alternately carried Bilbo on their backs. they ran far until g' slowed so dwarves passed. he guarded rear and when vengeful goblins came he and thorin cut them down. the others fled back. they rejoined the team until a silent goblin grabbed the dwarf which carried b.b. who fell and banged head. he did not know how the goblins were defeated. b became separated as the dwarves escaped. NOTE: film added an amazing chase and swinging bridges and mass loss of murderous goblins.
FIVE: b regained consciousness in the dark so he crawled and felt his way until he found a ring... a MAGICAL ring that wanted to be found. his enchanted dagger started to glow, due to the danger of a goblin. he used its light to walk "deeper and deeper into the mountain." by a lake, a "slimy, large-eyed, pale-skinned" skinny thing challenged b to riddles. they competed to understand vague rhyming clues. if b lost he must drop dagger and let gollum eat him. if b won then g' must lead him out from the cave. he asked him: "what makes iron rust,
and grinds rock to dust?" b did not know... scared he will die he begged "time". g showed anger that "time" was the answer. [clever!] b asked what is in his own pocket. g did not know so he agreed to lead b out... but then he went to get something... and found that his ring was missing! he returned angry at b for taking his ring. b slid it on his finger as he fled... g overtook him... and passed! the magic ring hid b. g rushed to the entrance to block b escaping with his lost ring... so b followed and by the entrance "jumped over him" and out of the cave.
fan fiction: when g blocked exit b used his ring to sneak to gollum, who held a stone to bang b, so b used dagger to stab him to death. after we saw that gollum bit frodo finger as obstacle of destroying the ring [film 3 shown before this earlier story] this obstacle will not have occurred. nor that g led... frodo to the giant spider. insted f will wander into the spider cave and get bit. sam will instantly stab spider and save him.
SIX: b reunited with team. wolves surround them!
