Ah, the dwarf life. And a fine dwarf... wait. Is that a wood bucket in the corner? What? Stone buckets aren't good enough for ya? Too heavy? Humpf. Young dwarves these days and their 'modern' conveniences. Shoddy craftsdwarfship it is! Oh, the decline of society all begins with wood.
Meanwhile, Hobbits are exactly "what you see is what you get" with actually being the food-enjoying, beer-drinking, pipe-smoking, nature-lovers that they seem to be at first glance (socially speaking, I know Hobbits have their hidden depths etc).
