  he gets there he finds out that it is mountain
  trolls. But to impress the dwarves Bilbo decides
  to try and pick-pocket the trolls. He evidently
  gets caught and is in a load of trouble. He had
  no way to let the dwarves know that he wasnt
  okay. The dwarves are on the path and they are
  getting worried about Bilbo so they decide to
  head towards him. When they get there the trolls
  want to eat them. So a big fight occurs between
  the dwarves and the trolls. The trolls were
  winning until Gandalf came and rescued them.

treasure. They send Bilbo down into his cave to
get something but as he gets it the dragon wakes
up. He smells Bilbo but cant make out what he
is. So they have a little chat. The dragon asks
him questions and Bilbo being smart never gives
him his real name. The dragon then mentions that
