| The riddles Gollum: What has roots as nobody sees, Is taller that trees, Up, up it goes And yet never grows? (A mountain) Bilbo: Thirty white horses on a red hill First they stamp, Then they camp, Then they stand still. (Teeth) Gollum: Voiceless it cries, Wingless flutters, Toothless bites, Mouthless mutters. (Wind) Bilbo: An eye in a blue face Saw an eye in a green face. "That eye is like to this eye" Said the first eye, "But in low place Not in a high place." (Sun on the daisies) Gollum: It cannot be seen, cannot be felt, cannot be heared, cannot be It lies behind stars and and under hills, And empty holes it fills. It comes first and follows after, Ends life, kills laughter. (Dark) Bilbo: A box without hinges, key, or lid, Yet golden treasure inside is hid. (Egg) Gollum: Alive without breath, As cold as death; Never thirsty, ever drinking, All in mail, never clinking. (Fish) |
