Answer
The
world
is
changed.
I
feel
it
in
the
water.
I
feel
it
in
the
earth.
I
smell
it
in
the
air.
Much
that
once
was
is
lost,
for
none
now
live
who
remember
it.
It
began
with
the
forging
of
the
great
rings.
Three
were
given
to
the
Elves,
immortal,
wisest,
and
fairest
of
all
beings.
Seven
to
the
Dwarf
Lords,
great
miners
and
craftsmen
of
the
mountain
halls.
And
nine,
nine
rings
were
gifted
to
the
race
of
Men,
who,
above
all
else,
desire
power.
For
within
these
rings
was
bound
the
strength
and
will
to
govern
each
race.
But
they
were
all
of
them
deceived,
for
another
ring
was
made.
In
the
land
of
Mordor,
in
the
fires
of
Mount
Doom,
the
Dark
Lord
Sauron
forged,
in
secret,
a
master
ring,
to
control
all
others.
And
into
this
ring,
he
poured
his
cruelty,
his
malice,
and
his
will
to
dominate
all
life.
One
ring
to
rule
them
all.
One
by
one,
the
free
lands
of
Middle
Earth
fell
to
the
power
of
the
ring.
But
there
were
some
who
resisted.
A
last
alliance
of
Men
and
Elves
marched
against
the
armies
of
Mordor,
and
on
the
slopes
of
Mount
Doom,
they
fought
for
the
freedom
of
Middle
Earth.
Victory
was
near.
But
the
power
of
the
ring
could
not
be
undone.
It
was
in
this
moment,
when
all
hope
had
faded,
that
Isildur,
son
of
the
King,
took
up
his
father's
sword.
Sauron,
the
enemy
of
the
free
peoples
of
Middle
Earth,
was
defeated.
The
ring
passed
to
Isildur,
who
had
this
one
chance
to
destroy
evil
forever.
But
the
hearts
of
Men
are
easily
corrupted.
And
the
ring
of
power
has
a
will
of
its
own.
It
betrayed
Isildur,
to
his
death.
And
some
things
that
should
not
have
been
forgotten
were
lost.
History
became
legend.
Legend
became
myth.
And
for
two
and
a
half
thousand
years,
the
ring
passed
out
of
all
knowledge.
Until,
when
chance
came,
it
ensnared
a
new
bearer.
The
ring
came
to
the
creature
Gollum,
who
took
it
deep
into
the
tunnels
of
the
Misty
Mountains.
And
there,
it
consumed
him.
The
ring
brought
to
Gollum
unnatural
long
life.
For
five
hundred
years,
it
poisoned
his
mind.
And
in
the
gloom
of
Gollum's
cave,
it
waited.
Darkness
crept
back
into
the
forests
of
the
world.
Rumour
grew
of
a
shadow
in
the
East.
Whispers
of
a
nameless
fear,
and
the
ring
of
power
perceived.
It's
time
had
now
come.
It
abandoned
Gollum.
But
something
happened
then
the
ring
did
not
intend.
It
was
picked
up
by
the
most
unlikely
creature
imaginable.
A
hobbit.
Bilbo
Baggins
of
the
Shire.
For
the
time
will
soon
come
when
hobbits
will
shape
the
fortunes
of
all.

I think it would be better without the yellow box. You wont have to type "the" and "of" a thousand times plus it makes it slightly easier
