Here's what happened after the Company met the stone-giants in a Book Spoiler found in Jackson's adaptation of The Hobbit… for a moment of Tolkien-zen. From Over Hill and Under Hill: The Hobbit … "The wind was howling and the thunder still growling, and they had a business getting themselves and their ponies along. Still it was not very far to go, and before long they came to a big rock standing out into the path... ...As they passed under the arch, it was good to hear the wind and the rain outside instead of all about them, and to feel safe from the giants and their rocks... ...they explored the cave from end to end. … It seemed quite a fair size, but not too large and mysterious. It had a dry floor and some comfortable nooks... ...Oin and Gloin wanted to light a fire at the door to dry their clothes... ...They talked and talked, and forgot about the storm, and discussed what each would do with his share of the treasure (when they got it, which at the moment did not seem so impossible); and so they dropped off to sleep one by one. And that was the last time that they used the ponies, packages, baggages, tools and paraphernalia that they had brought with them. … It turned out a good thing that night that they had brought little Bilbo with them, after all. For somehow, he could not go to sleep for a long while; and when he did sleep, he had very nasty dreams... ...he dreamed that the floor of the cave was giving way, and he was slipping—beginning to fall down, down, goodness knows where to. … At that he woke up with a horrible start, and found that part of his dream was true... ...he gave a very loud yell, as loud a yell as a hobbit can give, which is surprising for their size. … Out jumped the goblins, big goblins, great ugly-looking goblins, lots of goblins, before you could say rocks and blocks. There were six to each dwarf, at least, and two even for Bilbo; and they were all grabbed and carried through the crack, before you could say tinder and flint.... … ...It was deep, deep, dark, such as only goblins that have taken to living in the heart of the mountains can see through. The passages there were crossed and tangled in all directions, but the goblins new their way... ...and they way went down and down, and it was most horribly stuffy. The goblins were very rough, and pinched unmercifully, and chuckled and laughed in their horrible stony voices; and Bilbo was more unhappy even than when the troll had picked him up by his toes. He wished again and again for his nice bright hobbit-hole. Not for the last time."
