The hobbits lived in the Shire quite a long time and Sam took a wife. They often travelled to Rivendell and also Aragorn came and visited them. He gave them the Shire as a present. They all were lucky and life was fair. Some years later a great procession of Elves came from Rivendell and they were on the way to the Grey Havens. Frodo went with them and Bilbo also and at this time the last Elves left Middle-Earth and were gone. And Frodo and Bilbo, whom had worn the ring quite a long time, were allowed to come with them. Also with them came Galadriel and her folk and they were awaited by Gandalf. Now finally the three Elvenrings lay bare and so the last remains of the old ages of men and elves left Middle-Earth and let it free from their fate.
And with this ends the Lord of the Rings - the story of a small folk which does great deeds in a perilous world and saved their world from destruction. So be it.
