Narrator's voice: Bilbo drank too much ale and almost spilled the beans about the Ring to his guests. Fortunately, Gandalf was quick on the uptake to warn him. Once again, the day was saved by the wise wizard, only drawback being, Gandalf was drunk himself and missed, kicking Bilbo in his privates instead of merely treading on his foot...
Bilbo: Ouch....
Gandalf: What? Ah...um...yes.. Alas! It was this accursed boot that gave the pain. Few now have the skill in healing to match such evil weapons, you must go to Rivendell, for only Elrond can heal you!
Bilbo: m-mm-mm-m...
Gandalf: No 'm-m' ing required, you must go at once!
Narrator's voice: And that's how Gandalf the Wise helped to rekindle Bilbo's passion for traveling and helped the Ring into Frodo's keeping! This is also the reason why Bilbo remained bachelor to the end of his days, for even Elrond's skill was not match enough, as Bilbo's somewhat damaged walking ability took him more than an year to reach Rivendell and it was too late... ahem, you know how it hurts when...ahem, but I'm straying... And they lived happily ever after, they did, yes!
