Meet a Grumpy Dwarf
by M. David Lutz on 07/12/14
As a life-long lover of humor and novels, I've really enjoyed writing the first two books in my series, The Princess and the Plumber including The Princess and the Plumber: Beast to Beauty (Volume 1) or The Princess and The Plumber (Beast to Beauty) (Kindle) and The Princess and the Plumber: The Looking Glass (Volume 2) or The Princess and the Plumber in The Looking Glass (Kindle). Here's an excerpt: 'KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK,' (really loud). Her heart leaped within; sure it would be that big hulk of an oaf with his big broad grin, from ear to ear which made him appear so handsome and dear. Expecting a huge oaf but instead she got a dwarf, to her bitter dismay she felt she had been … short-changed.
"I'm Grumpy from Olaf's Ye Olde Heating and Plumbing Service. You look as though you were expecting someone else."
"Is Olaf too important now to do the work himself, he sends to me an elf?"
"Actually, elves are small lively beings resembling humans with pointed ears and magical powers."
"So?"
"Do I look like I've got pointed ears and magical powers?"
"No."
"I'm just a dwarf who unstops crappers and showers. Besides, all the elves around here work for Keebler. It's a union thing I'm pretty sure."
"Oh well, please come in." |
