In the book "The Hobbit" by Tolkien, Bilbo doesn't find the dwarfs, the dwarfs find him! (With the help of the wizard)
It is a wonderful book and I strongly recommend reading it!
The eagles come and snatch them from the trees and take them off to their aeries.
They did not take Gandalf's and Beorn's advice to STAY ON THE PATH while traveling through Mirkwood.
As the eagles rescued Gandalf, Bilbo, and the dwarves, the birds took them first to their aeries in the Misty Mountains to rest for the night. The next morning, the eagles flew the wizard, hobbit, and dwarves to the Carrock, a tall rock outcropping in the eastern foothills of the mountains by a river. The Carrock was named by the skin-changer Beorn, who often used it as a lookout post.
He takes it upon himself to save the dwarves, multiple times (from the spiders and the elves most notably.)he was a hobbit who knew how to sneak around places without being seen
In "The Hobbit," Bilbo took care of the dwarves primarily by providing them with food, shelter, and guidance throughout their journey. He often used his resourcefulness and cleverness to help them out of difficult situations, such as when he devised a plan to escape from the goblins and later encountered Smaug the dragon. Bilbo's bravery and quick thinking were crucial in ensuring their safety, and he gradually earned their respect and trust as a valuable member of the group.
Gandalf said "Good-bye! Be good, take care of yourselves-and DON'T LEAVE THE PATH!"
They take two swords and a large knife from the cache. They later discover the two swords are elven blades, Beater and Biter. The large knife becomes Bilbo's Sting. And they bury gold and silver that the trolls had stolen.
The main character is named Bilbo Baggins, a Hobbit from The Shire, who is also in The Lord of the Rings books. There are the dwarves that go with him on his adventure. The leader is Gandalf the Wizard, but he later leaves the group and leaves Thorin, the most important dwarf, in charge. Then there is Balin, who is also mentioned in The Lord of the Rings, and is said to like Bilbo the most. Beorn, a "skin changer," who can take shape of a bear, also plays an important part in helping Bilbo, Gandalf, and the dwarves.
He had other matters to take care of. He had told the dwarves all along that he was not going all the way with them. Gandalf went off to a meeting with other wizards. They drove the Necromancer out of Mirkwood.
Bilbo demonstrates selflessness multiple times in "The Hobbit," most notably when he offers to take on the role of burglar for the dwarves despite his initial reluctance and fear. He also risks his own safety to save the dwarves from spiders in Mirkwood Forest and from imprisonment by the Wood-elves. Additionally, Bilbo shows selflessness when he spares Gollum's life during their encounter in the dark caves, choosing not to kill him despite the potential threat.
Because the ring is turning him selfish, making himself think that they might take it away if he tellls them about it. He wants to keep the ring all to himself.
When? At the beginning, Gandalf the Grey chats to Bilbo saying he is looking for someone to go on an adventure. Bilbo, being timid at the start, is a little rude to Gandalf, but invites him to afternoon tea. Gandalf laughs and with his staff marks the front door "burglar for hire, etc". Later a knock on the door and after a while 13 dwarfs and Gandalf are in Bilbo's Bag End residence: Dwalin, Balin, Fili, Kili, Gloin, Oin, Ori, Nori, Dori, Bifur, Bofur, Bombur, and Thorin Oakenshield. During the adventure Bilbo is separated numerous times from the dwarfs, and aids them in their escapades with his new found confidence and bravery and his magical ring.
