The Ring and Gollum

When Bilbo wakes up, he finds that he is alone in a dark and cold cave. Desperate, Bilbo scrambles around in the dark trying to find his way out when he stumbles upon The Ring. Not knowing that the ring was something more than a round piece of metal, Bilbo slips the ring into his pocket without hesitant. In his desperation to get out, Bilbo finds Gollum, a creature driven mad by the ring and referring to everything "my precious". Gollum lives on a slimy island and hunts for fish. But this time he's looking for something a bit meatier to eat and preys on poor Bilbo. The two plays a game and whoever wins has to do what the other wants it to do. Bilbo ends up winning with the question "what's in my pockets?" With Gollum upset his lost and gets ready to lead Bilbo to exit when he soon realizes that his precious ring is gone. There was no other explanation than Bilbo and Gollum races after him realizing Bilbo was on the run and chases him. Bilbo slips on the ring and falls on the floor as Gollum races ahead thinking Bilbo was still running. Bilbo quietly follows Gollum to the exit and jumps over Gollum into the Goblins lair and slips past the guards thanks to the ring into freedom.
