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.
