Suddenly the butterfly landed on his nose causing him to shimmy his nose a bit,he looked up and saw Gandalf standing right in front of him,he glared at him for a little moment.

Then Bilbo said ‘good morning, then Gandalf said ‘what do you mean,do you mean to wish me a good morning or whether I wanted it or not; Or perhaps you mean to say that you feel good!,on this particular morning. Bilbo sat there quietly and didn’t reply to what he said,Gandalf took a deep breath and said ‘Or are you simply stating that this is a morning to be good on,Bilbo then replied and said this ‘All of them at once have, I suppose. Then Bilbo said this ‘can I help you,Gandalf said ‘that remains to be seen,I'm looking for someone to share an adventure,Bilbo feeling surprised and shocked and ‘said an adventure, no I don’t imagine anyone west of Bree would have much interest in adventures,nasty disturbing uncomfortable things,you’re late for dinner and grinned in a funny way and stood up and walked to his mailbox and gently put his hand in it to reach for his letters,while he was doing that Gandalf looked at him and while Bilbo was busy looking through his mail and seeing what interesting news that he got given,as he feel deep into wandering thoughts from the letter he said ‘A well good morning and tried to reach the door but Gandalf said ‘
