I've always thought of the hobbits like some kind of secret weapon. They lie low for a long time. And their skill in riddles and treading silenty. And in the Hobbit Bilbo had a keener sight and hearing then the dwarves. They save up these talents untill the world needs them most. And fate chooses the hobbits most worthy for each task. Bilbo to find the ring; Frodo to bear it; Sam to see the quest through; Merry to help slay the Witchking; Pippin...um...to give moral support [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] just kidding, Pippin did many small seemingly foolish things that in the end lead to a good purpose. I also find that the hobbits are terribly stubborn and this stubbornous my have helped their will to be stonger.
