Pippin's Sixth Sense

[Carlas]

Many people have thought that it was his foolishness and curiosity that made him do all those things that he did. i.e. dropping the stone in the well. And I agree with them!

Pippin is immature, but that is what makes him a Took, and I think, the reason he has a 'sixth sense'.

It was often said (in other families) that long ago one of the Took ancestors must have taken a fairy wife. That was, of course, absurd, but certainly there was still something not entirely hobbitlike about them.

In most fairy stories, fairies are curious and usually immature creatures, which would explain Pippin. But I think it is his curiosity that gives him his 'sixth sense', if he was not curious most of this would not have happened.

Im not saying that he has no real 'sixth sense', I think he does. But I think it is his childish behavior, not too many others are that foolish at that age.
