This week's Ten Word Challenge: plumber, autograph,
Florence Nightingale, a chill wind’s a blowing,
watering hole, sleek, triplets, backwards, surface
tension, parrot


And for the mini: Free estimates,French fries, carpet,
Braille, silver-tongued bandit

Phrog was a silver-tounged bandit, but that was
about it. He had studied Braille for two years but
just did not have the sensitivity needed to be able
to feel the bumps. It was like trying to read the
carpet while reading with fingers which were
greasy from eating French Fries. He had gotten
some free estimates about getting his fingers
sensitized but decided against it. After all,
he did not have much confidence in Joe
the plumber.

Joe was the only finger sensitizer he had ever met...
and Phrog just thought there was something shifty
about his claims.

He had met him at an autograph signing (although why Joe the plumber
wanted Phrog's autograph was beyond imagining.
The book was "A Chill Wind's A Blowing and was
about Phrog's experiences at
the desert watering hole.

It was a sleek retelling of his encounter with the
dragon triplets when he had studied
their backwards ways and the surface tension of the water
to help the magic parrot escape the trap the
dragons had him in.

Joe had mentioned that his job was finger
sensitizing and since Phrog wanted to be able to
read the Braille
edition of his book it seemed like they
would be made for each other.

Next Week's Ten Word Challenge will be:  Cute,
come with me to the Casba, bloodhound, respiration,
Facebook, Canada Geese, modern, gravity,
spider webs, sea shells
 
And for the mini: curiosity killed the cat, charming Victorian,
railroad tracks, tower, salt and pepper

I think Phrog is wise to be leery.

My fingers are not sensitive enough for braille eithre so I sympathise with Phrog. I am also intrigued by the story of the dragon triplets and the magic parrot and would hear more of this.

I can not read your story because the end of it is cut off.

Poor Joe the plumber. Before the election he had a quite, obscure life!

Watch out Phrog!

I can read the story now in explorer but I used firefox first.

Phrog seems to be showing unusual good sense regarding the finger sensitizing. Dragon triplets and a magic parrot. I hope we learn more about that. Sounds interesting.
