been captured by a band of Wood-elves who were try to find out what him and his friends were doing in the woods. The rest of the dwarves are quickly captured and taken into the dungeons of the Wood-elves. Again with the help of the ring Bilbo sneaks in the dungeon and using the Wood-elves empty food barrels to float down stream to Lake-town. Once in Lake-town Thorin declared himself to be the grandson of the King under the Mountain. The Lake Men gave the dwarves food and supplies for their journey up Lonely Mountain. When the dwarves found the secret door, the dwarves sent Bilbo in along. Only because it was in his contract. When Bilbo reached the treasure room where Smaug was sound asleep. Bilbo put on his ring and grabbed from the treasure pile a great two handled cup and returned quickly back to the dwarves. When Smaug awakes, he goes into a fierce fiery and goes to find the thief and the dwarves narrowly escape the dragon by slipping into the tunnel. Finally Bilbo puts on his ring and goes down to confront the dragon. There ensues another riddle game, but this time composed of enigmatic references to Bilbo's own identity and adventures. Bilbo finds a flaw on the dragons breast. Bilbo barely escapes back into the tunnel and up into the open air, where he tells the dwarves of his discovery. Suddenly Smaug erupts from the mountain and heads for the Lake-town to destroy the people and the town of which he suspects is aiding the unseen enemy. Once again Bilbo descend down the tunnel to the treasure room and this time he discovers and pockets the most magnificent treasure of all, the great jewel called the Arkenstone. When the dwarves reach the room, Bilbo does not tell them about his find. Meanwhile Smaug attacks Lake-town. With only one arrow lift the brave captain of archers named Bard is told by a thrush of the one place where Smaug is vulnerable, and Bard shoots his black arrow which had been past down through generation to generation and always had been recovered. The arrow hit the spot and Smaug falls dying into the lake. When the Elf King found out that Smaug was dead he and Bard seek to negotiated with Thorin on receiving some treasure. That night Bilbo sneaked into the "enemy" camp and delivered the precious Arkenstone to Bard and the elf king so that will have something of sufficient value to persuade Thorin to relent. When Bard told Thorin that he had the Arkenstone, Thorin nearly hurled Bilbo over the barricade. Finally in bitterness he offers Bilbo's own share of the treasure of Smaug in return for the Arkenstone, and both sides retired for the time being, with Bilbo banished from the dwarves company. The next day from out of now where hordes of goblin and wild wolves attacked the dwarves, men, and elves. And the battle of five armies began. Just as all seemed lost, Bilbo looked up and cried out that the eagles are coming. He himself is knocked unconscious by a stone and does not regain his senses until the battle was over. Then he was taken to bid farewell to Thorin, who was dying from from his wound but wishes to be reconciled with Bilbo. Bilbo returns home with a small chest of gold and one of silver, plus gold that he and Gandalf recovered from the trolls loot. When Bilbo arrived home he found his furnishings being auctioned off. All was set right in time. Bilbo spent much of his time writing his memoirs. A few years later he is surprised by Gandalf who brought Bilbo up to date on what was going on with the dwarves and the people of lake-town and the rebuilding of the city of Dale. The story ends with the suggestion by Gandalf that something more than sheer luck lay behind the adventure and with an expression of satisfied recognition by Bilbo that he is "only quite a little fellow in a wide world after all." My opinion of the story The Hobbit is that I thought is was a superb story. I felt this way because Bilbo showed the dwarves that he was clever and that with out him they would have never completed their journey. And he was not just an ordinary Hobbit.
