In chapters six and seven, Bilbo comes to an understanding of the rings power and becomes adept of the ring and masters its use. When retelling the story of how he escaped from the goblins and Gollum, Bilbo fails to mention the ring and keeps it a secret. The other dwarves begin to respect him after he tells his tale; their growing respect differs from the attitude they had toward Bilbo at the beginning of the story, when they only tolerated him for Gandalf's sake. After the group resumes their adventure, Bilbo notices his hunger and suffers a long way.
On their way, the group stumble onto a landslide and by pure luck, are saved by a huddle of trees at the bottle. Their feet end up being bruised, and the story continues with its gloomy tone.
