whatever happened to.......?

the fox from FOTR

he saw the hobbits asleep in the old forest and thought thats strange, i wonder what they are doing or something...then it says 'he knew nought more of it, or ever did'

so where did the guy go !

i mean come on! ruling ring destroyed wars going on left and right.....and he didnt realise

so foxy! WHERE ARE YOU???

Went to Valinor....

😛

But seriously, I don't remember that scene. Is it when they were in the Barrow Downs before they met Tom?

all i know is they lay down to go to sleep

its befre they met tom..yes...

Yea, i was thinking that myself. hmmmmm

Maybe the fox is not concerned with Sauron and the Ring and whatever is happening in Middle-earth, just like the Eagles and the other animals, so he left the Hobbits alone.

yeah but im asking where did he go

it says he never learnt anything more of it

surely if he had stayed wandering in M:E he would hear of it!

I dont remember exactly where it was, but the scene is so cute... the fox wondering about what the hobbits did here... *will look for chapter*

Sorry but I don't understand...😛

Hear of what?

Maybe he did hear of it, he just didnt want to get involved, like the ents at first. Maybe he thought it didnt really concern him so he went back to his little home. After all what can a fox really do

the hobbits quest

hes so adorable because hes confused lol

OrlandoOYEA seems to have the answer. ✅ 😄

OOYEA it staes in the book 'but he did not learn more of it that night, or ever again'

or something like that...it at least says he never finds out what they were doing

wow a first for me, lol

Maybe he never finds out what they were doing because he didn't want to find it out. Like OYEA said, perhaps he's not concerned with such matters. He just found it strange when he saw the Hobbits while he was there yet, while he was seeing them, but after that he didn't care anymore and just went away not carrying any concerns.

It just like a person seeing another person doing a strange thing on the street. At first you will find it strange and you will look at him, but then you will realize that it's not your business so you will then walk away and do whatever you are normally doing. And after that, after a couple of hours, you already forgot whatever you saw on that street. You don't care anymore.

So where did the fox go? It's either he went wandering again or went back to his/her shelter tending her children or something of that sort.

deep in the old forest you see four hobbits lying asleep

later the whole world is talking about 'those four brave hobbits from the shire'

SURELY he must have known

so smart. so very smart.

well maybe he knew afterwords but not before. he thought it was weird when he fist saw them but i suppose afterwords he knew who they were

the scene was

"Hobbits!" he thought. "Well, what next? I have heard of strange doings in this land, but I have seldom heard of a hobbit sleeping out of doors under a tree. Three of them! There's something mighty queer behind this." He was quite right, but he never found out any more about it.

in "three is company"
