betrayed Isildur, to his death. And some things that should not have been forgotten were
lost. “History ____________ legend, legend ____________ myth, and for 2,500 years the ring
_____________ out of all knowledge. Until, when chance ____________, it ensnared a new
bearer. The ring came to the creature Gollum, who ____________ it deep into the tunnels of
the Misty Mountains, and there it ____________ him. The ring ____________ to Gollum
unnatural long life. For 500 years it ____________ his mind. And in the gloom of Gollum’s
cave, it ____________. Darkness crept back into the forests of the world. Rumour ____________
of a shadow in the East, whispers of a nameless fear. And the ring of power ____________ .
Its time had now come. It ____________ Gollum. But then something ____________ that the ring
did not intend. It was ____________ up by the most unlikely creature imaginable, a Hobbit,
Bilbo Baggins of the Shire. For, the time will soon come when Hobbits will shape the
fortunes of all.”
