There are many reasons Bilbo is pleased to be "only quite a little fellow in a wide world after all." Bilbo is pleased because there are many wonderful things he can do that others can't do. For example, Bilbo can sneak around better than other peole. He can be stealthy, quick, and fit in places others can't. Being "a little fellow" helps Bilbo on many of his quests and to overcome trials. That is why Bilbo says he is pleased to be "only quite a little fellow in a wide world after all."
I don't think I'd be happy to be "a little fellow" because there are certain things that you aren't able to do when you're small. I wouldn't be as strong if I was little. I wouldn't be able to carry better armor and use larger weapons if I was smaller. I am glad to be larger because I can survive better when I take a hit. There are many great things about being large. That is why I wouldn't be happy to be "only quite a little fellow in a wide world after all."
