Listen to a summary presented by KI- Mila

In this episode of “Alenwen”, the two make their way to the Shire and stop off near the Old Forest. Alenwen is not very keen on the idea of spending the night in the open and would rather find somewhere to stay. Skaldiv suggests crossing the creepy Old Forest, but Alenwen fearfully refuses.

The mood changes when they finally reach the Shire. Skaldiv is thrilled by the lush vegetation and raves about it to Alenwen, whose thoughts, however, are only on flowers and other trivialities. Skaldiv enjoys the idyllic life of the hobbits, but Alenwen seems to have little interest in it.

On the way to the marketplace, they meet a lively hobbit lady called Frecha, who proves to be very talkative and a little pushy. While Skaldiv is annoyed by her manner, Alenwen finds Frecha extremely amusing and is fascinated by her lively personality.

When they finally arrive at the market stall, Skaldiv admonishes Alenwen to behave properly and not do anything stupid. Nevertheless, Alenwen cannot resist the temptation and picks a flower, which is observed by an attentive hobbit dweller. The dweller pursues Alenwen with a pan in her hand and Alenwen runs away screaming.

Meanwhile, Frecha is also causing trouble by stealing cakes from the nearby village of Hobbingen. She also flees from the consequences. Skaldiv observes the chaos and eventually loses patience. But in the end, Alenwen is caught and sent to prison, while Frecha manages to escape.
