Rosie and Falco set up the snare, covered their tracks and went in search of other food sources. They didn’t talk to one another because each was in their own thoughts about the events of the night before. Rosie knew that Falco was feeling guilty about the way he had treated Olo. She wasn’t quite sure what to say to him about it, so she decided it was best to say nothing.

“Falco can you hit a moving target?” asked Rosie. “Because if you can then I will do some of my bird calls and we can bring them down and have roasted fowl on an open fire. “ Falco replied, “ I'm not the best but I can bring a bird down when I need to and right now we need all the food we can find.”

Rosie started whistling away and soon there were many birds answering her and flying around. Falco managed to get 5 birds in a very short time. They were both excited about this and couldn’t wait to get back to the other hobbits. They gathered up the birds and headed back to where the snare had been set in hopes of finding a coney or other small creature in it to help along with the meal they would have later.

As the two hobbits approached the spot where they had set up the snare they could hear some pretty strange noises coming from there. Falco decided it would be best if they crept up on the spot as to spy on the goings with the snare. The noises they heard were not from any animal that either Rosie or Falco had ever heard before. When they reached the spot they were both surprised to see an old man fiddling around with the snare that he appeared to be caught up in. He was muttering to himself about hobbits or children and their dastedly little tricks that they seemed to like playing on him.

Rosie and Falco back away from the spot for a few moments to discuss what to do about this new problem. Neither one of them had ever seen, much less talked, to big folk before. This one didn’t appear to be very happy and it didn’t sound like he cared for hobbits or children. However, Rosie was quite intrigued by the whole situation and wanted to go and introduce herself to the old man. Falco, on the other hand, just wanted to get as far away from the old man as he could. He let Rosie convince him to go with her, so off they went to meet the old man.

Once again, they reached the spot where the snare was and approached it slowly. Rosie tentatively walked up behind the old man and said “Hi, my name is Rosie and this is my friend Falco. You seem to be caught up in our snare that we were trying to catch a coney or something in. May we help you get loose from it?”

The old man turned around and scowled at the two hobbits. The look on his face stopped Falco dead in his tracks. Rosie took a quick step back as her mouth dropped to the ground.
