[rhyselle.livejournal.com]

B2MeM Challenge: I22 - Four Words – Order, Cascade, Small, Dogwood

Format:  Drabble

Title:  Appreciating Literacy

Genre:  General

Rating: G/K

Warnings:  None

Characters:  Gaffer Gamgee, Samwise Gamgee, Bilbo Baggins (mentioned)

Pairings:  N/A

Summary:  Gaffer Gamgee needs assistance in understanding his employer’s wishes.

Gaffer Gamgee scratched his head as he looked at the bit of paper that Mister Baggins had given to him.  They had discussed if the run-off from the cold room might be turned into a small scenic cascade in the garden, or if it should just be left as it was.

“Sam-lad!” He finally shouted, irked that he couldn’t understand the script on the page. 

When Samwise had shyly explained that Mr. Bilbo wanted to order three dogwood trees for the side garden, the Gaffer decided that mayhap it wasn’t a bad thing that the boy had learned his letters.

I love it! I always adore the Gaffer and this is darling the way he now thinks Sam being able to read *might* be a good thing. hehehe

So, he's willing to believe that reading might indeed serve the lad well, eh? But of course!
