Back to Frodo's birthday party...
As Bilbo was admiring the ring Deathkiller gave him, Frodo walked up to him. "Hey, where'd you get that ring from?" asked Frodo.
"Oh, that guy who helped you cut up your birthday cake gave it to me," replied Bilbo.
"Really? Gee, that ring of yours looks pretty much like
my ring," said Frodo, who showed a ring on his hand.
"Hey, it does!" exclaimed Bilbo. "Where did
you get
your ring from?"
"Shhhh..." said Frodo. "I can't tell you here -- there are too many people around. I want to keep it a secret. Another time, okay? Right now I actually wanna entertain my guests a little." Then he walked to a spot and announced to everyone:
"Lay-dees and gentlemen, it gives me great pleasure to have your company here for this auspicious occasion. I hope you have enjoyed yourselves and will continue to enjoy yourselves for the evening. Right now, I should like to have the pleasure of demonstrating to all of you a feat of magic -- before your very eyes, your host
Frodo Baggins shall now
vanish without a trace! Behold!"
Then Frodo slipped the ring upon his finger, the elven rock band nearby doing a drum roll -- and faded into nothingness!
"Wowsa!" exclaimed Jar Jar. "Thissa goodsa!"
"Wow!" gasped Luke Skywalker. "I think even Master Yoda might have found that difficult to do!"
Gandalf gasped in shock; he
recognised the nature of the magic. It could only be...
the ONE RING...
