Answer 2

During the adventurous journey, dwarves along with Bilbo faced so many difficulties and one of them was Spider’s attack. When the dwarves were attacked by the spiders, Bilbo slipped his magical ring on his finger and became invisible. He was distracting the spiders away from the dwarves by throwing the rocks and killing few of them. He also was singing a song which had some insulting words such as “old fat spider”,” Attercop”, “old tomnoddy”, and “lazy lob” to get them curious, excited, and angry all at once. The spiders were very angry, and they started to chase him. While the spider was still distracting, Bilbo went to save his companions.
