If you were stranded on a deserted island, what three things would you want to have with you?
If only you had wished to strand me in the woods of Ithilien, my answer would be a simple one – my cloak, my knife and my bow. I need only recall my time spent as a ranger to know this would be sufficient.
But a deserted island is well outside of my experience. Still, I would need to eat, and would wish for a knife for hunting and cleaning whatever form of food is available. I would need to sleep, but I believe I could build shelter out of raw materials. However, the nights might be cold, and falling ill would not help my chance of survival. I suppose my cloak would be useful after all as it makes a warm blanket, as well as keeping the elements at bay in the daytime.
I will change the third item, though. I would wish for a musical instrument, of any sort. I do not know how to play one, so the choice does not matter. I would have endless hours to learn it. The sounds would either soothe me to rest, or jar me to alertness. Either way, it would be a benefit!
And when I am finally rescued, I would be able to write a song about my adventure to sing to my son, and I could amaze him by providing my own musical accompaniment.
