Imagine this story (in Lord of the Ring setting)...


The Shire was under attack from the Orcs and all the little hobbits were scared and worried. Gandolf rode into the Shire, rallied everyone and tried to build up their defense (using his own contractors so he made money on the construction). On the eve of the attack, however, Gandolf did a deal with the evil white wizard Saruman. He was paid $4.5m and left the Hobbits to meet their own fate.


Now - the Hobbits are no worse off then they started. But would they still invite Gandolf over for a cup of tea the next time they meet?
