„Help!!! Heeellllp!!!!!!“
Goldberry heard high-pitched cries from the direction of the Old Forest. ‘Oh dear,’ she thought, ‘hobbit tourists again, I suppose! Why must they always rush into the Forest without reading the FAQ sign at the gate? If only they would learn to use the search function – they would reach their goal faster and without getting into trouble with Old Man Shark- uh, Willow.’
Her eyes softened as she gazed at Tom, snoring serenely on the sofa. ‘Poor dear, he’s so tired after having the night rescue shift. I guess I’ll take care of it myself. But,’ her chin lifting resolutely, ‘I absolutely will not sing that nonsense!’
And so it came to pass that the entrapped hobbits very soon heard the strains of a lovely voice:
“You just call out my name
And you’ll know, wherever I am,
I’ll come running…”
