This paragraph seemed like a vital part of the story of The Hobbit, as this is what made Bilbo make the decision of leaving his humble home, with not many supplies, and go on an adventure that would change his life. Usually, Bilbo never even left his house. And so leaving his home, and risk his life by going to on a dangerous quest is something that he would normally never do. That is why I believe this paragraph is important.
