In The Two Towers, Pippin and Merry escape from their Orc captors only to be captured by an Ent named Treebeard in Fangorn Forest. Although Treebeard crushes the lone Orc who is pursuing them, he still mistakes the two hobbits for "little orcs" and announces his intention to ask the White Wizard for advice on what to do with them. Fortunately for Pippin and Merry, the "White Wizard" turns out to be a resurrected Gandalf -- not the evil Saruman.
