Raven's Saturday Wordzzle week 64

This is week 64 of the Saturday Wordzzle challenge. Anyone new to the process can refer back here to find out how it works. Thanks again to Dawn Treader for providing the words for this week. They were challenging indeed.

The words for this week's ten word challenge are: albino, trench, marble, assistant, Indian, What's that supposed to mean?, sound first principles, the key thing, moat, curtain

Mini challenge: under the surface, doomed, grand design, temple, aspirin


Here is my offering...

The albino monkey sat in the trench waiting for the assistant to bring him some marbles so he could play a game of marbles with the Indian. " What's that supposed to mean?"asked the Indain. The key thing is to have a moat surrounding you with a metal curtain before you begin your game with the monkey. Sound first principles are the key to winning the game because this monkey is a very sore loser. Don't say I didn't warn you!

Under the surface doomed a grand design but to no avail because the architect had a giant throbbing headache and was grabbing his temple saying that no aspirin would relieve his pain.
