In this chapter you meet three trolls. They have captured some of the horses, the dwarves had brought with them, and used as transport. So now it is time for the burglar Bilbo to try and get the horses back. In this chapter, Tolkien has used some kind of humor, and I think it is really funny. These trolls are really stupid, but they're big and strong, so they are tricky to attack.
When Bilbo fails and one of the trolls (apparently the most stupid one of them) grabs Bilbo, with his handkerchief (not on purpose), and sneezes. He thinks he has sneezed out Bilbo, and then all the other dwarves comes up from the bushes, and attacks the trolls to save Bilbo. Unfortunately, the trolls catches them in the end, and they are about to eat them, when the stupidest one of them says that they have to hurry, because they will turn into stone when the sun comes up.
Bilbo pulls out the time, until Gandalv the wizard comes and hits his stick in one large rock so that the sun is exposed to them and they turn into stone.
In the end of the chapter, they also find something in the cave the trolls went to when there were daylight. Sooner in the book these things also becomes very important. It is swords from elves, which flashes blue when there are orcs or goblins in the area.
So guys, this is what I could come up with from this event in the book, but if you really want to enjoy this summary, you should read the actual book, and you will find this post interesting.
See y'all. Philip.
