    We were in the deep, dark cave. It was very
    quiet except for the drip, drip, drip of water.
    We could not see anything at all.

    Change in topic Brett shouted, ”Quick, there is a light in that


    tunnel!”

    Change in person “Let’s go,” cried Sophie and we all ran off
    speaking with Doodles barking at our heels.

    Change in time. Five minutes later, we realised that we were


    completely lost. We had no idea where to go
    next. We all stopped and thought.

    Change in topic A strange bird flew into the tunnel and


    looked at us. It seemed to understand that
    we did not know where to go next. It flapped
    its wings and flew off.

    Change in person “Shall we follow it?” I said. I started to walk


    speaking towards it. It flew a bit further away.

    When Mr. Bilbo Baggins of Bag End announced that he would shortly be celebrating
    his eleventy-first birthday with a party of special magnificence, there was much talk
    and excitement in Hobbiton. Bilbo was very rich and very peculiar, and had been the
    wonder of the Shire for sixty years, ever since his remarkable disappearance and
    unexpected return. The riches he had brought back from his travels had now become
    a local legend, and it was popularly believed, whatever the old folk might say, that the
    Hill at Bag End was full of tunnels stuffed with treasure. And if that was not enough for
    fame, there was also his prolonged vigour to marvel at. Time wore on, but it seemed to
    have little effect on Mr. Baggins. At ninety he was much the same as at fifty. At ninety-
    nine they began to call him well-preserved, but unchanged would have been nearer
    the mark. There were some that shook their heads and thought this was too much
    of a good thing; it seemed unfair that anyone should possess (apparently) perpetual
    youth as well as (reputedly) inexhaustible wealth. ‘It will have to be paid for,’ they said.
    ‘It isn’t natural, and trouble will come of it!’ But so far trouble had not come; and as
    Mr. Baggins was generous with his money, most people were willing to forgive him his
    oddities and his good fortune. He remained on visiting terms with his relatives (except,
    of course, the Sackville-Bagginses), and he had many devoted admirers among the
    hobbits of poor and unimportant families. But he had no close friends, until some of
    his younger cousins began to grow up. The eldest of these, and Bilbo’s favourite, was
    young Frodo Baggins. When Bilbo was ninety-nine, he adopted Frodo as his heir, and
    brought him to live at Bag End; and the hopes of the Sackville-Bagginses were finally
    dashed. Bilbo and Frodo happened to have the same birthday, September 22nd. ‘You
    had better come and live here, Frodo my lad,’ said Bilbo one day; ‘and then we can
    celebrate our birthday-parties comfortably together.’ At that time Frodo was still in
    his tweens, as the hobbits called the irresponsible twenties between childhood and
    coming of age at thirty-three. Twelve more years passed. Each year the Bagginses had
    given very lively combined birthday-parties at Bag End; but now it was understood
    that something quite exceptional was being planned for that autumn. Bilbo was going
    to be eleventy-one, 111, a rather curious number and a very respectable age for a
    hobbit (the Old Took himself had only reached 130); and Frodo was going to be thirty-
    three, 33) an important number: the date of his ‘coming of age’.
