The Hobbits cut through a forest they shouldn’t try to cut through, and as a consequence the trees try to eat them.
Thankfully, Tom Bombadil is there to skip happily through the forest and sing to the trees. As you might’ve guessed depending how much you’ve been drinking, if you want trees to regurgitate Hobbits, singing is exactly the thing you want to do, and the little guys are saved.
Of course, Tom Bombadil doesn’t want to be rude so he brings the Hobbits to his place, feeds them, lets them chill, answers every question as if he’s never been asked questions, and lets them meet his girlfriend whose name I forget and don’t want to bother looking up.
He says some mysterious stuff that’s intentionally mysterious, he plays with the One Ring as if it’s absolutely nothing—including some David Blaine-y magic tricks—and gives them little horses.
The Hobbits go on their way but are soon waylaid by some undead barrow wights. Thankfully they’re saved because one of them remembers to sing or whistle or something to Tom Bombadil. And if there’s one thing that saves you from never-ending living death it’s, you know. Singing.
Tom Bombadil shows up immediately and saves them. Probably with singing.
