The Secret of the Lonely Mountain

The land of the Lonely Mountain is barren; all of the greenery has been burnt away by Smaug. Bilbo and three dwarves are sent to investigate the main entrance on the south side. The entrance is too dangerous to use since Smaug uses that gate, so Bilbo and the group search for another opening on the west side of the mountain. Bilbo located a narrow passage along a cliff that leads to a flat, smooth, patch on the mountain side. A secret door on the west side of the mountain, the group can no open the gate. They grow discouraged since the door won't budge. Sitting there lost in thought, Bilbo remembers a riddle on a map, Bilbo quickly gathers the other dwarves by the door, as the sun slowly sets, the sun's light widdles down to its last beam that reveals the key and the keyhole. The door opens as they enter the depths of the mountain.
