Story[]
Little Miss Busy-Body/Madame Casse-Pieds is a terrible nuisance and talks too much.
She tries to talk to Mr. Rush and tell him that he should stop rushing around so fast. However, he just rushes past and ignores her completely. She then tries to tell Little Miss Contrary something, but she just said "I am listening to you" and walks off in the other direction, which really meant she wasn't going to listen to her.
Little Miss Busy-Body finds Mr. Jelly, who is frozen in fear which means he cannot walk away! She tells him that he should stop quivering in fear, and that he should start crying loudly instead. Her attempt at crying loudly sounds like a wolf howling to Mr. Jelly, which causes him to run away in fear.
Miss Busy-Body then finds Mr. Greedy carrying a giant cake. She doesn't say anything to him, but instead takes his giant cake and eats it all herself! Mr. Greedy is very mad about Little Miss Busy-Body and having to buy a new cake as a result. Little Miss Busy-Body is truly incredible, as she was able to out-talk Little Miss Chatterbox, who was so mad about not being able to say a word she just walked off!
The final straw for Little Miss Busy-Body was when she tried to talk to both Mr. Lazy and her pet canary, both of whom fell asleep while listening to her. This made Little Miss Busy-Body very mad, as she finally realized that no-one can stand her and they all hate having to listen to her.
