I think there is a moral to the LoTR but I've forgotten what it was because I haven't watched it in about 2 months.

Watched it? (Oh dear god...) Can you watch a book now? Does it do much?

I've always seen LotR as having values that it taught, and Christian messages; I never thought it was an allegory. It can certainly be interpreted that way, but I see Christian messages in it. It's kind of hard not to (for a Christian), especially since Tolkien was a Christian.

No I don't think there is a moral but I have an idea:

Little people can do great things, Ok its old but I like it as I'm a little midge

No really I am really small!!
