y armed themselves with weapons and put on armor and got ready for a battle.Meanwhile the dragon had already been killed by a very brave man, Bard, who was already on his way to claim his part of they treasure so that he could rebuild his kingdom that had also been taken by the dragon in the past. But the party saw them and they had other plans they wanted to keep this treasure for themselves, well all except for Bilbo, which had no problem with sharing. As time went on the dwarves barricaded themselves in the mountain and Bard had pleaded with the leader of the dwarves to just give him a share since he was the one who killed the dragon, but he still refused because he had grown greedy and he was still upset because he could not find his "heart of the mountain". Meanwhile the word the dragon's death had spread far and wide until it reached the goblins and when they heard of it they headed toward the mountain to claim the treasure. A war was brewing that no one quite knew the extent of, well not yet anyway. Back at the mountain, Bilbo was growing quite tired of this endless argument between Bard and the dwarves. So that night he snuck out and went to Bard and he told him what was going on and he gave him the 'heart" as a bargaining chip to get the leader to give. When he found out what Bard had he was outraged and called Bard a thief and asked how he got it and Bilbo spoke up and told him he gave it to him. The leader called him a traitor and threw him out. As time went by they all saw the goblins coming their way and they all prepared for battle. The war went on for a long time and they all came out victorious over the goblins. The leader received a mortal wound and his dying words were apologizing to Bilbo and he called him a true friend.I thought this book was wonderful it was a story that could be an inspiration to many people that want to achieve what they think is impossible.I would recommend this book to anyone that enjoys a book ...
