There were rockets like a flight of scintillating birds singing with sweet voices. There were green trees with trunks of dark smoke;their shining branches dropped glowing flowers down upon the astonished hobbits,disappearing with a sweet scent just before they touched their upturned face.There were fountain of butterflies that flew glittering into the trees; there were pillars of coloured fires that rose and turned into eagles,or sailing ships,or a phalanx of flying swans;there was a red thunderstorm and a shower of yellow rain;there was a forest of silver spears that sprang suddenly into the air with a yell like an embattled army,and came down again into thewater with a hiss like a hundred hot snakes.And there was also one last surprise,in honour of Bilbo,and it startled the hobbits exceedingly,as Gandalf intended.The lights went out.Agreat smoke went up.It shaped itself like a mountian seen in the distance,and began to glow at the sunnit,It spouted green and scarletflames. Out flew a red-golden dragon-not life-size,but terribly life-like:fire came from his jaws,his eyes glared down;there was a roar,and he whizzed three times over the heads of the crowd.They all ducked,and many fell flat in their faces.The dragon passed like an express train, turned a somersault,and burst over by water with a deafening explosion.
