Ten Word Challenge: squeaky toy, perpendicular, olives, shanty, howling at the moon, soul, bow and arrow, uniform, statistics, praying mantis

Mini Challenge: glamour, rocking chair, cormorant, objective, symbolism


Phrog stepped on a squeaky toy as he prepared to leave. He knew that he must do something outstanding soon in order to help the pour soul who was turning from a bright red to a pale orange.. He looked down and picked up a toy bow and arrow that was lying beside the rocking chair. He walked over to the cupboard and opened the door. He looked on the shelf and found the cinnamon. "Now let me see what else I can get for you," he said to LiGa. He found a jar of olives and spread the cinnamon over the olives.

"Try these," he said," they will soon have you howling at the moon like a praying mantis."

LiGa took the plate and sampled the concoction. "These will soon give me my glamour back." he said and ate several.

Saydie looked over at him and thought to herself. "He really is quite handsome. I wonder if I could get him out of that perpendicular, position and into a horizontal one?" She never could be objective about the male animals around her. Last week she went after a handsome cormorant. She really must get into therapy. She had heard that David Ducoveny had entered the clinic and she was in hopes to hook up with him. Now where has Sallyie gone she wondered.

Phrog, Let's go down to the little shanty by the lake and see if she is there. We can look in her closet and see if her Order of the Salamander uniform is there. If it is there perhaps she has gone ahead to the meeting. She has to get the statistics ready for her report on membership after all. Perhaps I am just being foolish. Come on Boys let's go!"

LiGa thought that surely there must be some symbolism to Phrog's remark "Howling like a preying mantis." Perhaps it had something to do with the Order of the Salamanders. Maybe he could fool them into thinking he was a member and gain their secrets that way. Then perhaps he could do with out the monthly infusion of cinnamon.
