Oh dear, a typical childhood squabble even among the nobles.

It would be wonderful to learn geography from someone as well-traveled as Aragorn.

Yes,I'd even go back to school if Aragorn were teaching!

I can so easily see this happening! Heh! And I'm with Aragorn about getting a new tutor! Would love to hear Aragorn's stories, of course.

I'm glad this felt believeable for you.I agree he should get a new tutor!

If I were Aragorn, I would *definitely* be looking into finding a new tutor who can keep better discipline!

It's a good thing there weren't any young hobbits in the mix. Can you imagine what kind of questions a young Took might bring up?

lindahoyland September 22 2010, 06:18:57 UTC

I agree that they need a new tutor!Yes, the situation would get even more out of hand with some young Tooks asking questions!

Excellent little story - yes, I can see this happening, too. :)

I'm pleased you enjoyed this and it felt plausible to you.

I can see this chaos happening, yet good would come out perhaps, as the children would learn more about what is treasured among their classmates and so learn more about each other and fair lands and strange stars and so learn to see beauty in the alien. Next lesson would be write about not what is important to them but important to the 'alien' as Legolas agreed to go into Helm Deep's caverns and Gimli to travel through Fangorn and both see beauty through the eyes of one they loved. They may not yet be ready for all that but it would lay groundwork for adult life and Aragorn could help in that.

Namarie, God bless, Antane :)

Yes, I agree with you.It is to be hoped they all learn valuable lessons.
