Answer:
Bilbo regains consciousness in pitch black. Crawling along the tunnel, he picks up a metal ring, “almost without thinking.” Taking comfort from the discovery that his little sword is also an elvish blade that shines when goblins are near, he starts walking down the tunnel but stops when he walks into cold water.
When Gollum can’t find his ring, he guesses (correctly, this time) that Bilbo has it and comes to attack Bilbo. As Bilbo runs away, he puts his hand in his pocket to figure out what he does have there, and the ring slips onto his finger. Gollum runs past, and Bilbo follows Gollum to the “back door.” There Gollum stops, smelling many goblins, and blocks the passage. Eventually, he senses Bilbo and readies himself to spring. Bilbo briefly contemplates killing him, but a “sudden understanding, a pity mixed with horror, welled up in Bilbo’s heart,” and he jumps over Gollum instead.
Bilbo runs to the door and is seen by the goblins because the ring has slipped off his finger. He puts it back on, dodges goblins, and eventually squeezes through the door, leaving “his nice brass buttons” all over the doorstep.
Two children were taken to the apple orchard on a fine day with their family. They picked a lot of apples, and had them all in a basket once they went home. Once at home, the parents told the children to each choose and apple to eat. The first child chose a glossy apple with a brilliant skin, which had no marks or dents. The second child chose a duller looking apple, with a couple of dents and some bruises. The first child bit into their Apple, only to find a worm had been their first. The worm left a tunnel in the Apple, and the child discarded the Apple. The second child bit into their Apple to find that it was very sweet, and had no worm inside. The children were careful about picking their apples from then on.
