A Worthy Young Hobbit

Posted by Tearose - August 21st, 2009

Peregrin Took, known as Pippin by his friends, was the youngest of Frodo Baggins’ best friends. Smaller then the rest, he was very curious and often got himself into trouble.

But he proved his merit when he saved Faramir from death as Denethor became crazed in despair after Sauron’s deception was revealed to him. It was Pippin who risked death to find Gandalf in the burning Minas Tirith.

It was Pippin who represented the hobbits when the Army of the West stormed the Black Gates in a desperate gambit. Pippin slew a troll and then was knocked unconsious as the troll fell on top of him. Gimli recognized Pippin’s hairy feet and dragged him out, saving his life.

It was also Pippin and his best friend Merry who were the leaders of the hobbits who overthrew Saruman’s minions in the Scouring of the Shire. Together they raised the Shire.

Yes, Pippin was a very worthy young hobbit, indeed.

“This is the hour of the Shire-folk, when they arise from their quiet fields to shake the towers and the counsels of the Great.”
