Heh, you just said my two favorites! <P>I love Sam's loyalty and Merry and Pippin's bravery. All three hobbits were willing to make some great sacrifices for their friend, Frodo.<P>Merry and Pippin knew they'd likely get caught or worse and they were willing to do it anyway. Sam nearly drowned for his virtures; he knows what's coming after they get to Mordor will be terrible, but he also knows that Frodo won't be able to make it on his own. That's true friendship; risking, or even losing, life and/or limb for the sake of your friends. (Jesus did the same for us, even before we were His "friends".)
