ten : precious
The rug from the Emerald Room was not happy. Not happy at all. And why should he be? (Yes, rugs have genders too. Let's try not forget that.)
He, the most precious of all precious rugs and a great favorite of his owner's, was being handled in the most horrid way. Two boys gripped his sides, probably muddying his beautiful weaving with their clumsy fingers.
And he was wrapped around a girl of all things! She was drooling on him and snoring and sniffing and performing every human bodily function ever imagined!
He was not happy. Not happy at all.
Yes, I wrote about a rug. Don't judge.
