... and say 15 March, 2941 (Third Age) in an inn at Bree (although the Unfinished Tales has them meeting on the road to Bree). The name of the inn is not specified, but it was quite likely the Prancing Pony.

Two points:
Fifteen birds in five firtrees, their feathers were fanned in a fiery breeze! But, funny little birds, they had no wings! O what shall we do with the funny little things? Roast 'em alive, or stew them in a pot; fry them, boil them and eat them hot? Burn, burn tree and fern! Shrivel and scorch! A fizzling torch To light the night for our delight, Ya hey!Bake and toast 'em, fry and roast 'em! till beards blaze, and eyes glaze; till hair smells and skins crack, fat melts, and bones black in cinders lieand light the night for our delight, Ya hey! There were actually two songs so I combined them and provided both for your pleasure. |
