The following is an excerpt from the Blue Book of Westermarch or, by some accounts, Unfinished Tales of Merry, Pippin, & Samwise:
Pippin's face fell.
"You mean you won't take a dagger instead?"
"Of course not! When I ask for a shrubbery I want a shrubbery," replied the Elf that said Ni.
Merry thought of the long journey to the nearest village that sold shrubberies. Pippin thought of the little food that they had left. As for Sam, he thought every colorful curse word he'd ever heard his dear Gaffer use.
