And thanks to one famous writer, these creatures scattered around the world.

1. So, let's imagine that hobbits do exist and look at the houses in which they could well live.
2. The first evidence of the existence of hobbits can be found in Scotland and Finland, and they are hundreds of years old.
3. Hobbits appeared on earth a long time ago, and in exchange for our hospitality, they agreed to help people. And although the number of hobbits is too small (like themselves), representatives of the human race were able to feel their support.
4. And while many hobbit houses are very neatly built, some of them seem to have been created in a hurry.
5. Hobbits are especially good at certain areas of life because they follow their heart and their stomach. Not surprisingly, in places like Hopetown, California, a small community of these undersized people has also appeared.
6. But sometimes they can get down to work too zealously and, for example, make so many bottles of wine that they do not have time to sell. But this is not a problem, because hobbits are cheerful people and like to drink.
7. Basically, their huts are very neat and clean. Chroniclers claim that although they may also live in hotels underground, these hotels are not ordinary. The main thing here is comfort and homeliness. At the same time, many hobbits prefer to live in the countryside, many live in the suburbs, succumbing to all the delights of modern life, and sometimes completely forgetting about the idea of a “hut” for their homes.
8. Usually such hobbits are ridiculed by their fellows, who prefer a rural lifestyle.
9. But building entire villages for hobbits is not the wisest decision, some representatives of the hobbit diaspora (in particular, the Gamgi clan) could not resist the temptation.
10. Although this can lead to danger of collapse or disorderly settlement, this small community of hobbits has proven that it is quite possible to create entire villages.

13. There they fish and live quietly and calmly.
14. Their ancient and inexorable ban on rings and other jewels has been preserved to this day.
15. Many hobbits have connected their lives with the wine industry and the food industry. However, the hobbits excelled in other activities as well.
16. These trading centers are especially helpful for young hobbits who have learned to hang out.
17. Many families of hobbits are engaged in farming, maintaining a long tradition. They abandoned modern conveniences such as electricity and automobiles.
18. Hobbits are very law-abiding citizens. All disputes and disagreements are settled in the Hobbit Parliament.
19. But you can’t just get into another kingdom. However, some supernatural beings can see hobbits despite Gandalf's spell.
20. For some hobbits, their new world was full of dangers. And for some, just walking out the door is already an adventure.
21. The English Lestrange family founded several hobbit farms in hopes of gaining dominance in the real estate market. Despite protests and laws, this trend continues today.
22. Hobbits today are persecuted, so many of their houses are built quickly, without the usual attention and care for them, and when their inhabitants are in danger, it is very easy to evacuate from these houses.
23. It is not surprising that so many hobbits now often move.
24. We can't show you pictures of hobbit farms because they are too shocking. But we can share pictures of the aftermath of the Lestrange raid on one of the hobbit houses.

30. Hobbits love to experiment.
31. This also applies to the architectural forms of their houses.
32. They welcome green projects and solar energy.
33. In general, they say that it was the culture of the hobbits that influenced the human, and not vice versa.
