A Hobbit's Journal - Of Trolls, Toads, and Goblins



 Dear Diary,

Often I find myself thinking why do I have this peculiar way of walking casually into the most ridiculous situations which often results in me visiting foreign graveyards even though that is the last place in Middle-earth I wish to visit.  "To 'chat' by a toad is to 'die' by a toad..."or so my old Pa used to say. There you go, this is what happens when a hobbit forget she is traveling in distant and dangerous lands with her weapons in her satchel...served me right. 
 
So what about Trolls? Once upon a time I thought they were just mythical creatures invented by 'mad' Bilbo Baggins to make his story look like a greatest adventure :" Look at me folks...I did met not one, not two, but three nasty Trolls and I survived  to tell the tale..." kind of thing. Well sit down 'couse I have bad news for you....TROLLS ARE REAL! 
 
*nods with a serious look on her face*
 
In fact they are so real they throw huge boulders at you if you happen to walk casually where they live. Few things I discovered  about them : 
 

1. They eat hobbits ( honestly, they do)

2. They seem to have a never ending pile of huge boulders to throw

3. If you run fast between their legs they will all follow you in a long line...try...it is fun. (but remember to run really really fast)


Last , but not least...why are Goblin so rude?  Every time I come across one all I hear from him is "DIE!"...well that is not nice. Why can't they yell something like "YOU LOOK LOVELY!" or "LOVELY HAT YOU WEAR" or something like that?
