It was an awful day in Hobbiton for Terbo and Cerbo, so awful, in fact, that they didn’t even hear Gandalf knocking on the door of their cosy little hobit hole.
When they finally realized he was knocking, Terbo went to open the door with a sigh. But before he could do anything, Gandalf came rushing in wailing and groaning. “Where is it?! It cant (sic) have gone too!”
‘Calm down, and tell us what is happening!’ Gandalf started to tell them that Bilbo baggins sword and magic ring had disappeared and that they had to do something, but he didn’t finish. ‘Oh, Gandalf, do tell us!’ Terbo and Cerbo said frantically. “You have to go by the path Bilbo did many years ago, until you come to the end of mirkwood. And I, my friend shall be going for now. I will meet you at the entrance of Hobbiton 3 days from now! Good bye.” Gandalf said hurriedly. “Good bye! Fare well! The two hobbits called after him.
“If the sword has gone and the ring too, we shall have no protection!” Cerbo cried, very sorry for himself.
Two days soon passed and the hobbits were very nervous. When the 3rd day came they were off at dawn.
They soon met Gandalf and then the journey began. They went as fast as they could to the Edge of the Wild where they stayed for 3 nights because they had missed out on a lot of sleep. When they finally came to the Misty Mountains they were very careful of goblins. They managed to dodge them at the crack in the wall of the cave. Even though it was only open a little bit they could just slip through.
They had gonea fair way, when Terbo saw a young goblin crying. The hobbits went a bit closer but Gandalf stood still. The goblin didn’t know that Terbo was looking at him from the left and Cerbo from behind. The goblin was wailing “Everyone left me ‘cause I didn’t want to fight! And they left me poor ol’ Gertil!” The hobbits were feeling rather sorry for Gertil and wished they could do something. Gertil then saw the hobbits and they made friends. Together they went to Mirkwood.
They were invited to many feasts of the wood-elves. “Oh, you must be Terbo and cerbo Took of Bilbos race, we shall help you find your sword and ring.” Said one of the wood-elves. It took a long time to get to the end of Mirkwood, but they did. There waiting for them was Gandalf and the Lake men also accomponied by Bond. The Hobbits asked where Thesil was and the reply startled them. ‘We can not help it if Thesil felt sick when we told him about it.’
The Hobbits were sure that Thesil know something they didn’t, and were very suspiciouse about it. Terbo and Cerbo couldn’t sleep that night, they were both thinking about THesil and the sword and ring. They had to do something, find the sword and ring, but how? They asked themselves this question over and over again.
Atlast they dicided what they would do, and one night the two hobbits crept into Thesils kingdom.
As they explored they came across a locked room. They saw something glittering through a crack in the door.
The hobbits went back to their tent, it was very late so they both slept in next day. They picked flowers after lunch then they went with Gandalf to see Thesil because he was supposedly sick. When they were they asked if they could see all his kingdom.
When they walked past the locked room they started asking questions. “It’s my special secret room. I only open it on Mondays, so nobody come here then!” Thesil answerd grumpely, and with that he asked them to leave.
Terbo and Cerbo thought about it for a while.
“It’s Sunday today, so if we sneak in again tomorow we will see what it was in the room.” Terbo said to Cerbo.
With the help of Gertil they dug a tunnel that opened into Thesils lounge room, which was right next to the locked room. They waited a long time till Thesil came and opened the locked door. Then he went and had breakfast so the two hobbits quickly ran into the room.
They were right, the sword and ring were there! They carefully picked up the sword and ring and started to back off. But they heard Thesil coming, so they had to go as fast as they could back down the tunnel and ran to the tent. Gandalf and the lake men, accompanied by a few wood elves, went to see Thesil, to ask him why he took the sword and rig, but when they got there he wasn’t there. He had gone off after finding out that some one knew he took the sword + ring. The hobbits wanted to go home, but were persuaded to stay a few more days.
