I remember that tradition, and it fits so nicely with Sam's personality. Someone so deeply connected to the earth would never forget to do things right and proper in the old ways.

I have never heard of that tradition, yet it seems to fit in. I really like it. This was a very touching story. I am so glad I read it. Thank you so very much for sharing.

As a freakish coincidence, I was sketching out a scene involving elves and exactly this tradition when I noticed this story was 'Story of the Day'. I've always thought this such a 'nice' (though nice isn't an adequate word) tradition and I would agree with the rest of your reviewers that it fits extremely well with Samwise' character, to want to observe an old superstition like this. A short piece but very nicely written.
