This Week's Ten Word Challenge is: Florida, spit, child bride, operatic, busy, holding pattern, sunflowers, ginger jars, office, superintendent
For the mini challenge: music to my ears, plot, powerful, braggart, super model
"Phrog, Phrog". exclaimed Sallye Salamander, "You must hurry and pack. We are going to catch the night train to Florida." She was about to spit with excitement. She had not been so excited since she was a child bride and had married the operatic superstar who had performed at the National Convention of Salamanders. He had been one of the Dragons and was busy with so many things that he had not noticed that she was not a Dragon but was instead a Sexy Salamander. It threw him into a tail-spin. Smothered his fire breathing capacity and put him into a holding pattern over the pasture of sunflowers. He had to get 200 ginger jars and deliver them to the office of the superintendent to get the marriage annulled.
"When it was finally annulled and the priest pronounced the writ of annulment it was music to my ears," said Phrog. There was a plot most powerful to oust me from the office of Chief of all the Salamanders and if not for one of the braggart dragons who told all to the super model he was daiting Phrog would not have found out about the feidnish dragon plot. But she was in love with Phrog (His power you know.) So she told and Phrog was saved from the humiliation of being replaced by the feindish Dragon and had just been re-elected. Huzzah!
Next Week's Ten Word Challenge will be: sober, spoilage, knight, laugh and the world laughs with you, peak, blueberries, owl, drugstore, lampshade, keyboard
For the mini challenge: economy, Michael Jackson, ladder, clue, structure

That's no easy feat, collecting 200 ginger jars. I can't say they're common among these parts.
Glad Phrog was saved the humiliation.
Have a great Fourth!

And aren't they all in love with Phrog? Cute dash through the words -- I almost forgot to breathe!
Our dragon friend tells us it was no small task getting that many ginger jars. He has never forgiven the salamanders but if you tell us where you are gathering he will gladly drop in . We dragons do not plot that guy just makes up stories and brags a lot.
Great story today.
How can you not love Phrog? I do feel a bit sad for Sallye having her marriage annulled like that. This is one of my favorite's ever. I'm so glad the evil plot was foiled. Is LaGi still plotting, though?
National convention of salamanders. That's makes me think they were plotting against a Gecko for better insurance rates.
Phrog has entered the world of Super stardom with Super models and annulled weddings.
I love the line: She was about to spit with excitement. Dissolving a marriage sure is expensive.
Sounds like Sallye Salamander has an interesting history. It was funny that the dragon was so busy that he didn't realize he was marrying a salamander. I'm glad that Phrog was able to stop the plot to oust him and stay in office.
