The Hobbit or There and Back Again Chapter 5 - Riddles in the Dark
Bilbo wakes up in absolute darkness and can't see what's around him. While searching for a way out he finds something and puts it in his pocket before moving forward. He meet Gollum by an underground lake; a nasty creature. Bilbo and Gollum make a deal that Bilbo will be shown a way out if he can answer riddles, and if he can't, Gollum will eat him. They ask each other riddles until Bilbo asks "What do I have in my pocket?" and Gollum doesn't know the answer; and still wants to eat Bilbo. Bilbo reaches into his pocket and the item he found before is a ring. He puts it on and it makes him invisible. Gollum thinking Bilbo is escaping, runs to the exit, so Bilbo follows him invisibly and escapes past guards by wearing his ring.
