The dwarves make fun of the idea, but Bilbo, annoyed, joins despite himself. The group travel into the wild, where Gandalf saves them from trolls and leads them to Rivendell, where Elrond (an important elf), reveals more secrets from the map.

Although he was having a great time, he couldn’t find his purpose, so he traveled to China, South America, visited the U.S. and South Africa. IN his journeys, he met a guy (who was probably drunk) that told him that the only part of the world where he could find his purpose was where no man had stepped before; the North Pole. So he started his journey, but in the way, he stumbled with a stone and got trapped in the ice. There, he froze for who knows how many
