Independent Reading Prompt 6 Chapter 12

After finally getting into Lonely Mountain unnoticed, the dwarfs selected Bilbo to go take a look around, and possibly steal treasure. Even though he is invisible with the ring, Bilbo is horrified when he sees the sleeping dragon. He does manage to take a golden cup, then bring it back to the dwarfs. The dragon does wake up and take notice. I believe that Bilbo made a mistake by going in without a solid plan. The dragon will surely take vengeance on the dwarfs. I would not be surprised if the dragon would even go out of his way and inflict damage on nearby areas such as the town on the Long Lake.
