Este, I have the feeling the question is too hard for us. ( in other words: we're too lazy!!!) I would wait more few days, and if no one would answer right..... you would give us hints!

What! Too hard! Let's try harder people! I'll start with The Arkenstone, given to Bard, hmmmmm, he gives that silver and pearl necklace to the elven king at the end, ahhhhhh he tried to give Gandalf his "troll's booty", but I don't think Gandalf took it. He took the two handled cup from the dragon's horde and gave it to the dwarves, and........how about a small *hint* for the last?

Hmmm... I thought this would be easy.
Then I realised I was in The Hobbit forum. Well, perhaps you could say he gives away the company's posotion or hiding spot at some point in the book, although off the top of my head I can't think of specifically when. Also, in the beginning, he gives a lot of food to Gandalf and all the dwarves when the drop by his hobbit hole. If I'm right about these, just give credit to Lizra, because she got more and I'm not sure mine even count.

Very good, Lizra! You got the four I was thinking of.
Just as a point of interest, I realized after I asked the question that I had left one out. Quote:

Ahhh! I love The Hobbit! All right, let's continue along these lines.
Describe three different instances where Gandalf leaves, and later returns in The Hobbit

Would you elaborate more on the specifics of "climbing the mountan side", please! (I was thinking of when does he leave, and when does he reappear..course, it could be said, he leaves just when he is needed, and reappears in the "nick of time". )

Well, he does disappear before they run into the trolls, when the weather got bad, and it was dark. "Just when a wizard would have been the most useful , too," as Dori and Nori groaned. He reappeared in time to confuse the trolls into staying up past their bedtime.
And he nipped into the goblin's door crack, right before it snapped, following the orc slave drivers and dwarf/hobbit prisoners to the edge of the great (goblin's) hall. He conjured up some of his best magic and was able to rescue the dwarves once again. As far I know, he was with them through the Rivendell visit, and the Beorn visit.....and then..... ??

He was either a bear that had turned into a man or a man who had turned into a bear. I don't remember how it was s'posed to have happened.
