Chapter 1 - The One That Got Away

“I feel a tuggin’!” Sam cried out, getting to his feet.

“Reel her in, Sam!” Frodo dropped his pole and grabbed Sam to keep him from being pulled in. “You got her!”

A cracking sound; the pole snapped in two. All four hobbits groaned with dismay.

“She got away again,” Merry sighed, pulling in his line to re-bait it. Frodo gave Sam his pole and got out his book instead. The four hobbits fell silent, waiting for another chance. Hours passed; nothing happened.

“I’m hungry. Let’s eat!” Pippin said, reeling in his line. The others followed suit and joined him.
