Format: Drabble
Genre: Gen
Rating: G
Warnings: None for a change
Characters: Sam
Pairings: none
Title:  Seek and Ye Shall Find
Summary: Sam finds a surprise while hunting for food.




Sam had nearly given up, when his efforts had been rewarded.  There, almost hidden from view, and ripe for picking, was a blackberry bush!  It was late in the season.  The large, juicy, berries should have been withered, yet, remarkable as it seemed, they weren‘t.  Sam filled his hat with a whole gang of them.  He started to pick the bush clean, but thought better of it.

‘Mustn’t be greedy,’ He could hear his Gaffer saying.  

Other travellers might come this way needing food.  What he had now, would do nicely for supper.  He’d leave some for the next fellow.

This was lovely, so very Sam!

I started to let him pick extra for later and then realized that Sam would only take what he could us. I'm glad you liked it.

This is so perfect, GW! I adore stories about hobbits foraging, and hobbits and food, and hobbits being thoughtful and considerate and hobbity. You hit on all cylinders!

Thank you! I really did start to let him take them all, but Sam himself told me that he wouldn't do that sort of thing. : )

That's definitely Sam's way of thinking and being.

Yeah, I couldn't imagine Sam taking all of the berries unless he needed them. Thanks for reading.

This is so like sweet Sam.

He's always so fair minded about things. I do believe he would leave some for the next person.

Ah dear Samwise, only taking what he need and leaving the rest for others.

[grey-wonderer.livejournal.com]

He is a kind-hearted hobbit, no question.

Oh, GW--I so love this one. Perfect for our Sam, and I can so imagine him hearing his Gaffer's aphorisms at that moment!
