[00:00.60] | Deep down here by the dark water lived old Gollum, a small slimy creature. |
[00:05.82] | I don’t know where he came from, nor who or what he was. |
[00:09.76] | He was Gollum—as dark as darkness, except for two big round pale eyes in his thin face. |
[00:17.54] | He had a little boat, and he rowed about quite quietly on the lake; |
[00:21.92] | for lake it was, wide and deep and deadly cold. |
[00:26.91] | He paddled it with large feet dangling over the side, |
[00:30.40] | but never a ripple did he make. Not he. |
[00:33.38] | He was looking out of his pale lamp-like eyes for blind fish, |
[00:37.85] | which he grabbed with his long fingers as quick as thinking. |
[00:41.29] | He liked meat too. Goblin he thought good, when he could get it; |
[00:47.05] | but he took care they never found him out. |
[00:49.20] | He just throttled them from behind, if they ever came down alone anywhere near the edge of the water, while he was prowling about. |
[00:56.29] | They very seldom did, for they had a feeling that something unpleasant was lurking down there, |
[01:02.35] | down at the very roots of the mountain. |
[01:05.74] | They had come on the lake, when they were tunnelling down long ago, and they found they could go no further; |
[01:10.41] | so there their road ended in that direction, |
[01:12.97] | and there was no reason to go that way—unless the Great Goblin sent them. |
[01:18.25] | Sometimes he took a fancy for fish from the lake, |
[01:21.49] | and sometimes neither goblin nor fish came back. |
[01:25.81] | Actually Gollum lived on a slimy island of rock in the middle of the lake. |
[01:30.02] | He was watching Bilbo now from the distance with his pale eyes like telescopes. |
[01:35.42] | Bilbo could not see him, but he was wondering a lot about Bilbo, |
[01:39.31] | for he could see that he was no goblin at all. |
[01:42.86] | Gollum got into his boat and shot off from the island, while Bilbo was sitting on the brink altogether flummoxed and at the end of his way and his wits. |
[01:50.92] | Suddenly up came Gollum and whispered and hissed: |
[01:54.50] | “Bless us and splash us, my precioussss! |
[01:58.62] | I guess it’s a choice feast; |
[02:01.13] | at least a tasty morsel it’d make us, gollum!” |
[02:05.10] | And when he said gollum he made a horrible swallowing noise in his throat. |
[02:09.84] | That is how he got his name, though he always called himself ‘my precious’. |
[02:15.24] | The hobbit jumped nearly out of his skin when the hiss came in his ears, |
[02:18.31] | and he suddenly saw the pale eyes sticking out at him. |
[02:21.34] | “Who are you?” he said, thrusting his dagger in front of him. |
[02:24.24] | “What iss he, my preciouss?” whispered Gollum |
[02:27.52] | (who always spoke to himself through never having anyone else to speak to). |
[02:32.68] | This is what he had come to find out, for he was not really very hungry at the moment, only curious; |
[02:38.03] | otherwise he would have grabbed first and whispered afterwards. |
[02:41.98] | “I am Mr. Bilbo Baggins. I have lost the dwarves and I have lost the wizard, and I don’t know where I am; |
[02:48.79] | and I don’t want to know, if only I can get away.” |
[02:51.60] | “What’s he got in his handses?” said Gollum, looking at the sword, which he did not quite like. |
[02:57.17] | “A sword, a blade which came out of Gondolin!” |
[02:59.67] | “Sssss” said Gollum, and became quite polite. |
[03:03.77] | “Praps ye sits here and chats with it a bitsy, my preciousss. |
[03:08.04] | It likes riddles, praps it does, does it?” |
[03:11.84] | He was anxious to appear friendly, at any rate for the moment, |
[03:15.16] | and until he found out more about the sword and the hobbit, whether he was quite alone really, |
[03:20.53] | whether he was good to eat, and whether Gollum was really hungry. |
[03:24.59] | Riddles were all he could think of. Asking them, and sometimes guessing them, |
[03:28.95] | had been the only game he had ever played with other funny creatures sitting in their holes in the long, long ago, |
[03:34.82] | before he lost all his friends and was driven away, alone, and crept down, down, into the dark under the mountains. |
[03:41.03] | “Very well,” said Bilbo, who was anxious to agree, |
[03:44.15] | until he found out more about the creature, whether he was quite alone, |
[03:48.17] | whether he was fierce or hungry, and whether he was a friend of the goblins. |
[03:52.96] | “You ask first,” he said, because he had not had time to think of a riddle. |
[03:57.55] | So Gollum hissed: |
[03:59.56] | What has roots as nobody sees, |
[04:02.32] | Is taller than trees, |
[04:04.44] | Up, up it goes, |
[04:06.43] | And yet never grows? |
[04:08.92] | “Easy!” said Bilbo. “Mountain, I suppose.” |
[04:11.72] | “Does it guess easy? It must have a competition with us, my preciouss! |
[04:17.16] | If precious asks, and it doesn’t answer, we eats it, my preciousss. |
[04:21.96] | If it asks us, and we doesn’t answer, then we does what it wants, eh? |
[04:27.25] | We shows it the way out, yes!” |
[04:30.00] | “All right!” said Bilbo, not daring to disagree, and nearly bursting his brain to think of riddles that could save him from being eaten. |
[04:37.95] | Thirty white horses on a red hill, |
[04:40.59] | First they champ, |
[04:41.83] | Then they stamp, |
[04:42.52] | Then they stand still. |
[04:44.22] | That was all he could think of to ask—the idea of eating was rather on his mind. |
[04:48.60] | It was rather an old one, too, and Gollum knew the answer as well as you do. |
[04:52.09] | “Chestnuts, chestnuts,” he hissed. “Teeth! teeth! my preciousss; |
[04:58.13] | but we has only six!” Then he asked his second: |
[05:02.49] | Voiceless it cries, |
[05:04.76] | Wingless flutters, |
[05:06.96] | Toothless bites, |
[05:09.02] | Mouthless mutters. |
[05:11.76] | “Half a moment!” cried Bilbo, who was still thinking uncomfortably about eating. |
[05:16.20] | Fortunately he had once heard something rather like this before, |
[05:19.86] | and getting his wits back he thought of the answer. |
[05:22.46] | “Wind, wind of course,” he said, and he was so pleased that he made up one on the spot. |
[05:27.92] | “This’ll puzzle the nasty little underground creature,” he thought: |
[05:31.51] | An eye in a blue face |
[05:33.24] | Saw an eye in a green face. |
[05:35.70] | “That eye is like to this eye” |
[05:37.45] | Said the first eye, |
[05:38.69] | “But in low place |
[05:39.70] | Not in high place.” |
[05:41.63] | “Ss, ss, ss,” said Gollum. He had been underground a long long time, |
[05:46.61] | and was forgetting this sort of thing. |
[05:48.95] | But just as Bilbo was beginning to hope that the wretch would not be able to answer, |
[05:51.59] | Gollum brought up memories of ages and ages and ages before, |
[05:54.94] | when he lived with his grandmother in a hole in a bank by a river, |
[05:59.01] | “Sss, sss, my preciouss,” he said. “Sun on the daisies it means, it does.” |
[06:07.17] | But these ordinary above ground everyday sort of riddles were tiring for him. |
[06:11.97] | Also they reminded him of days when he had been less lonely and sneaky and nasty, and that put him out of temper. |
[06:19.04] | What is more they made him hungry; |
[06:20.96] | so this time he tried something a bit more difficult and more unpleasant: |
[06:25.63] | It cannot be seen, cannot be felt, |
[06:30.00] | Cannot be heard, cannot be smelt. |
[06:33.94] | It lies behind stars and under hills, |
[06:37.25] | And empty holes it fills. |
[06:40.16] | It comes first and follows after, |
[06:43.80] | Ends life, kills laughter. |
[06:48.87] | Unfortunately for Gollum Bilbo had heard that sort of thing before; |
[06:53.55] | and the answer was all round him any way. |
[06:55.93] | “Dark!” he said without even scratching his head or putting on his thinking cap. |
[07:01.86] | A box without hinges, key, or lid, |
[07:04.17] | Yet golden treasure inside is hid, |
[07:06.40] | he asked to gain time, until he could think of a really hard one. |
[07:11.30] | This he thought a dreadfully easy chestnut, though he had not asked it in the usual words. |
[07:16.72] | But it proved a nasty poser for Gollum. |
[07:19.84] | He hissed to himself, and still he did not answer; he whispered and spluttered. |
