Saturday Centus: Iadra gets big help from Xentor (Money won't melt in your hands)

.
Iadra was so proud of her new purchase. She had gotten the whole slew very cheap. And brightly colored they were so pretty.

But when arrived home with her treasures they had all melted. Some even had melted in her hands. Why had she not asked for a bag?

She called her good friend, Xentor, for advice and his consolence.

"You go right down and ask for your money back. Scream and holler if you have to."

"I'll just do that," Iadra said

"How much did you pay for those beads?" asked Xentor.

"It was only ninety-eight cents..."
