The Hobbit (Middle Earth, #0)

by J.R.R. Tolkien

As a boy he used to practise throwing stones at things, until rabbits and squirrels, and even birds, got out of his way as quick as lightning if they saw him stoop;

Bilbo the serial killer

And that was the end of Smaug and Esgaroth, but not of Bard.

We literally met this dude this chapter. 'and then the great dragon that this whole story was building too got killed by a random guy'

three quarters of the people of the town had at least escaped alive;

Thats a lot of dead

But also he did not reckon with the power that gold has upon which a dragon has long brooded, nor with dwarvish hearts.

What?
