"Not String, Precious, But Not Nothing..."

I have been reading books to Zach at bedtime, one chapter or so at a time. He likes the classics, we have finished "kid versions" of Moby Dick and War Of The Worlds. Now we're reading The Hobbit (not a kid version) and he loves it. As expected, Gollum is his favorite character, and he really likes when I do my best to imitate the slimy little creature's voice. He loves the line in the title above, because it's really creepy how Gollum begins to realize that Bilbo has his ring, and he won't stop asking "what has it got in its pocketses?". He gets giggly chills every time we revisit the part where Gollum realizes his ring is gone and that is what is in Bilbo's pocket.
