Once upon a time there lived a hobbit in a hole underground. Not in some disgusting dirty damp hole, where worm tails stick out on all sides and there is a nasty smell of mold, but also not in a dry, sandy, bare hole, where there is nothing to sit on and nothing to eat. No, the hole was a hobbit’s, which means it was well-maintained.

It began with a perfectly round door, like a porthole, painted green, with a shining copper handle right in the middle. The door opened inwards into a long corridor, similar to a railway tunnel, but the tunnel was without burning or smoke and was also very well appointed: the walls were covered with panels, the floor was tiled and covered with carpet, polished chairs stood along the walls, and there were hooks nailed everywhere for hats and coats, as the hobbit loved guests. The tunnel wound further and further and went quite deep, but not into the very depths of the Hill, as the inhabitants called it, for many miles in circumference. On both sides of the tunnel there were doors - many, many round doors. The hobbit did not recognize climbing stairs: bedrooms, bathrooms, cellars, pantries (a whole bunch of pantries), dressing rooms (the hobbit allocated several rooms for storing clothes), kitchens, dining rooms were located on the same floor and, moreover, in the same corridor. The best rooms were on the left, and only they had windows - deep-set round windows overlooking the garden and the distant meadows that went down to the river.
