Chapter 1Bilbo Baggins was a hobbit. A hobbit was a

small magical person. They lived in a

magical place called Middle Earth.

Chapter 2Bilbo had a party. He invited Gandalf,

a wizard. He also invited Thorin and his

band of dwarves.

A bad dragon, Smaug, had been ruling the

mountains. Gandalf, Thorin and Bilbo

decided to defeat him and take his treasure.

Chapter 3The group traveled to the mountain. On the

way, they stopped to see Elrond and the

other magic elves.

Chapter 4The band of travelers was attacked by

goblins. Gandalf saved everyone, but Bilbo

was separated from the group.

Chapter 5Bilbo hid in a cave. He found a magic ring

and won it by answering riddles better than

a bad creature named Gollum.

Chapter 6The ring gave Bilbo the power to be

invisible. He escaped and met his friends.

Chapter 7As they continue to travel, they were

attacked by giant spiders and other

creatures. Elves and giant eagles helped

them stay safe.

Chapter 8

The group finally got to rest at Lake-town,

where they were welcomed by humans.

Chapter 9When they reached the mountain, Bilbo

found a secret door and entered the

dragon’s lair. He learned how the dragon

could be killed.

Chapter 10The dragon was angry and tried to attack

Lake-town. A noble human shot him with a

bow and arrow.

Chapter 11The group took over the mountain and the

treasure. Everyone was greedy and a battle

was about to begin. No one listened to

Bilbo, and they told him to leave the

mountain.

Gandalf told everyone that goblins and evil

creatures were coming to attack the

mountain and they must band together and

fight.

Chapter 12With the help of the giant eagles, the group

won the battle. They divided the treasure

evenly. Bilbo did not take much and gave

others his share.

Chapter 13Bilbo returned home with enough treasure to

be wealthy and happy for a long time. What

few people knew was that he still had the

magic ring.
