If Samwise took
the ring, defeated
Sauron, returned home with
Frodo, and used the power of the ring to his liking…
A knock at the door of
Bag End.
Sam answers the door: “Oh, hello
Pippin. Come on in.”
Pippin: “Sam, we’re all worried about you and Frodo. What’s been going on?”
Sam: “What do you mean? Everything’s fine.”
Pippin: “Everything’s fine!? The entire
Westfarthing’s been turned into one giant tater patch! And, the taters are so gigantic nobody can get through on the
roads. How can you say everything’s fine?”
Sam: “I used the power of the ring to make The
Gaffer’s dream come true. You don’t like taters?”
Pippin: “Of course I like taters. I’m a
Hobbit. I like all
food. But, the entire Westfarthing!? It’s just too much.”
Sam: “Hmmm. I never thought of it that way. OK. Today I will use the ring and transform half the taters into turnips…problem solved.”
Pippin: “Turnips!? You think that will solve…ahhh what’s that in the corner?!?!”
Sam: “What?”
Pippin: “That green thing that looks like Frodo!”
Sam: “Yeah. I was hoping you wouldn’t see that. Frodo kept demanding I give him The Ring back so I turned him into a potted plant. He seems much happier now. I water him every day and leave him in the sun.”
Pippin: “You turned Frodo into a plant!? How is that even possible?”
Sam: “The ring imparts both power and knowledge. It taught me the process of … … … Frodosynthesis.”
