The book begins with Bilbo Baggins enjoying a pipe after
breakfast. Th is is one of his favorite pleasures and he feels quite
content in doing so. He is middle-aged, and resides in a clean warm
burrow in the ground.
One morning Gandalf, a wizard stops by to chat with Bilbo. He
informs Bilbo that he is looking for someone to go on an adventure with
him. Although Bilbo is tempted he declines, but not before inviting
Gandalf for tea the next morning.
The next day Bilbo hears his doorbell and he recalls inviting
Gandalf for tea, but instead of the wizard at the door, there is a
group of dwarves... thirteen in all.
Thorin son of the dwarf king starts to outline a plan on how to
regain the tr easure stolen by the dragon Smaug. Bilbo is shocked to
realize these plans involve him! He then realizes that Gandalf has
tricked him by inscribing on his doo r that he was a burglar seeking a
job with lots of excitement. With all this talk of quests and glory
Bilbo decides to join the party after all.

Lon ely Mountain. It is there that the treasure of Thorin's ancestors
are kept-guar ded by Smaug.

stop to investigate a light. There Bilbo finds three trolls grumbling
about food.
