The Three-Farthing Stone used to be such a 
joke. Legend had it that old Jatuzik Oldbuck had
planted the stone at the 
exact center of the Shire's main road-crossing as a
traffic obstacle, then 
offered to remove it for the sum of three farthings.
Absolutely no one 
would pay him, though, and everyone just got into the
habit of going 
around it. Now, Mumbo Sackville had explained to him,
it had become 
revered. "During the night of the Fire, six fire-flies
landed on it," he 
explained. "Three of them got squashed under the
Chief's Axe, and young 
Odo Bigfoot rolled the stone over onto the other three
to crush 'em. It 
helped turn the tide that night. Now everybody's
saying the Stone's a 
national treasure, and old Jatuzik put it there by
divine inspiration. 
Might even be true, for all I know," Mumbo had added,
having the decency 
to look slightly embarassed.
     And now there was this Park. They'd repaved the
roads, moving them 
several yards off to the side as they did so, and now
the area of mud and 
dried twigs had been cleared and neatly landscaped,
picnic tables put in, 
and fresh green grass planted and generously watered.
A small fountain had 
been built around the Stone, and the water tinkled
merrily over the 
soaking obelisk. When had this happened? It couldn't
have been very long; 
yet the fifteen or twenty Sackville-Bagginses there
were eating and 
playing lawn darts as though they'd been doing it
there for years. Frodo 
had even watched a little child from a peasant family,
not more than three 
or four, walk up to the Three-Farthing Stone, touch it
gently like a holy 
talisman, then blush and run away.
