Author's Notes: This drouble first appeared in my LJ on Oct 19, 2005.
~*~
A harvest moon shines on the Shire, and the bounty of the season is safely tucked away for future need. Now it is time to celebrate, time to gather by a bonfire and dance and sing and tell the tales of old.
Tales that leave the children's eyes round with wonder. Tales that follow them into dreams.
Tales that inspire one to action.
That very night, young Samwise Gamgee creeps from his smial and sneaks off to the gardens of Bag End. And there he sits, with bats fluttering overhead and silvery moonlight streaming down. Silent and resolute, he waits as the long minutes tick away, for he knows that if he is truly patient, and does not fall asleep as he has in previous years, then from the evening mist will rise a ghostly figure, with pockmarked skin and eyes like stars. On his back the mysterious being will carry a burlap bag, filled with sweets and wondrous treasures to delight a child's heart.
Yes, Sam thinks drowsily, this will be the year... the year I meet The Great 'Tater...
“Good grief,” Frodo says fondly, as he picks up the slumbering fauntling and carries him home to Bagshot Row.
