Gollum and the Ring

Inside the Goblin Cave, Bilbo got lost and found his way to the insane creature, Gollum.  Gollum has been sitting, cooped up in that cave for over 300 years powered by the Ring of Power.  Gollum has gone crazy because he hasn't been around normal people for many, many, many years and he is obsessed with the Ring - his Precious (the Ring of Power, the "Ring that Rules Them All" which is explored in more details in the "Lord of the Rings").  Bilbo finds the ring in Gollum's cave and hides it in his pocket.  Gollum is crazy and likes to have a little fun from time to time, he likes to play a little game of riddles with himself.  Here are some of the riddles that Gollum used in the Game of Riddles with Bilbo:

"Voiceless it cries, 
Wingless flutters, 
Toothless bites, 
Mouthless mutters". p. 63
(answer: Wind) 

"A box without hinges, 

key or lid, 

yet golden treasure inside is hid". 

p. 64 

(answer: Eggs) 

"This thing all thing all things devours: 

Birds, beasts, trees, flowers; 
Gnaws iron, bites steel; 

Grinds hard stones to meal; 
Slays kings, ruins town, beats high mountain down". p. 65 

(answer: Time) 

"What have I got in my pocket?" p. 66

(answer: The Ring) 

Gollum never gets that one - Bilbo wins the game.
