Gandalf

 

g.gif (567 bytes)andalf is a wizard of light & fire from Middle Earth.

He is the wisest of all wizards.  I believe that  this wisdom is what

saved Middle Earth in their most important battle against evil.

He alone saw the signs of what was to come.  He

became suspicious of the ring that Bilbo found. He knew it

was a ring of power, but he wasn't sure if it was the ring

of power.  So he said nothing until he  was sure. By that  time

is was almost too late.

Instead of taking the ring and trying to use it against

the enemy, he was wise enough to leave it to the  Hobbits .  For

the ring curpted all who held it. For it was evil.

g.gif (567 bytes)andalf was a traveler. He knew many people.

From knowing so many people, he learned what is going

on in each area of the country.  From this, he found each

peoples strength and weakness, so he was able to   advise

with knowledge.  He was known by different names in the

different areas.  In the Shire he was known by his favorite name:

Gandalf.

m.gif (523 bytes)ost  Hobbits from the Shire were leery of him . 

Years before,  he had came for a visit and entertained them with

a beautiful fireworks display.  So when he came to see Bilbo,

they  were unsure.  But some remembered  tales about his

fireworks.  So... they sort of ducked back & peeked as  he went

by.  Little did they know that he loved them dearly and would do

all he could to keep them safe.
