Now it is a curious fact that this is not the story as Bilbo first told it to his companions.
The "author" reflects on this very point in Prologue: The text for what he did write though can be found at the end of Volume 2 of The History of the Hobbit edited by John D Rateliff. However in the end he decided not to change the original published text too drastically and dropped these large scale changes. Tolkien also planned to include Bree in some capacity in the journey from the Shire. In the published version, the band just crosses an unbroken bridge and carries on their way. I can’t fully remember what happens, but I do remember that this was one of the first times Bilbo began to prove that he wasn’t a burden on the Dwarves’ quest. In what he did write for that expanded section we see the band come across a broken bridge and try to figure out a way across. Considering how long the same journey took in Fellowship of the Ring, I can kind of see where he was coming from. It doesn’t appear in the finalised published version of the Hobbit, but Tolkien expanded the earlier part of Chapter 2 as he believed that he didn’t explore the journey between Hobbiton and the 3 trolls enough.
