Mini Challenge: pancakes and syrup, flat tire, mongoose, this place looks like a bordello, first dance
Phrog went to the office and looked for the bill of lading that the Supreme Magus had directed him to get. He could not find it anywhere. He telephoned the Magus and told him. The Magus directed him to the Ballroom of the Order of the Salamanders and Phrog went there next. As he got there they were just beginning the first dance. Phrog looked around. "This place looks like a bordello," he thought. "I think I shall contact Maestro Mongoose to begin redecorating. "
He retrieved the paper and went to his vehicle. He discovered that he had a flat tire. So he went into Hamburger Haven for breakfast while his car was being fixed. He decided on the pancakes and syrup for his meal.
Phrog decided that he really had Spring fever. He did not feel very fragile but felt like reading The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere. A sure symptom that April was in the air and he was coming down with the doldrums. He was star struck about Paul Revere and read the poem to his minions every year. This was always done after the lecture on global warming. He always said that we needed an alarmist like Paul Revere so that we would wake up and get something started on this major issue.
This year he had been asked about the treats for the poetry reading and told the caterer, "I love raspberry tarts" She made out-of-season pumpkin patties. He threw his in the trunk, where he kept the magic cat’s paw of the order. It was so old that it was getting crunchy but he would need the paw for the translation of the manuscript. Now to find the Supreme Magus.
Next Week's Ten Word Challenge will be: gentle spring rain, mammoth, soap opera, worry, bubble gum, garden gate, seizure, of Biblical proportions, paralysis, wrinkles
Mini Challenge: operatic, stuffed animals, anger management, biographical, paint splatters

Pumpkin patties instead of raspberry tarts - that's just wrong.
Good addition to your story.
This just flowed so naturally and I love the idea of a magic cat's paw. Any idea where I could get one? There are 8 very naughty cat's paws here but maybe besides translating things, a magical one could mitigate the naughtiness of the inaccurately named Angel. I also love the idea of teaming Paul Revere with raising the alarm about Global Warming. Well done Jay! Well done Phrog.
It's always a pleasure to visit Phrog's world.
How could anyone substitute pumpkin for raspberry. Use the cat's paw and turn her into a bug.
Super great wordzzle. Everything flowed together so nicely.
Hmmm, cat's paw. I don't know if I'd be wanting to carry one of those around. They might be a magnet for trouble. Rabbits foot would be much better and you get to eat it before well, you know...I think I will just leave that one alone. Like the story. I look forward to next weeks.
A cats paw that translates thats great.
We need a Paul Revere for global warming yes.
Phrog better mositurize that cat's paw! A crunchy paw is not a good sign and will surely mess with its mojo
we love your stories. We think we could just eat Phrog. He sounds so tasty.
He does all those things. We bet he is even colorful.
Great writing and such fun.
