Story[]
Mr. Nosey was a very nosey Mr. Man. He couldn't resist poking his nose into other people's business. He'll read over your shoulder to see what you were reading or eavesdrop on a private conversation you are having with a friend.
This is the story about when Mr. Nosey decided to get a job. He bought a newspaper and looked at the want ads. The first job advertised in the paper was for a window cleaner. Mr. Nosey got the job, but he couldn't resist looking through the windows he had cleaned. The people of Tiddletown did not like this at all. Which is why Mr. Nosey didn't last long in that job.
The second job he tried was working at the Tiddletown Telephone Exchange as a telephone operator. Mr. Nosey's job was to put the caller through to the person they are calling. But the trouble was, Mr. Nosey couldn't resist holding on too. He listened to all of the other people's telephone conversations and got some juicy gossip on everyone in Tiddletown. People soon found out and complained to the telephone manager. So, Mr. Nosey's time working there came to a quick end.
One afternoon, Mr. Nosey found a job that suited him to the ground. Or in his case, it suited him down to the end of his nose. He found just the right job for a man such as himself who couldn't resist peeking and prying into other people's affairs! Mr. Nosey now works as a detective at the Tiddletown police station. He can use his nosiness to figure out any trouble going on in Tiddletown. He managed to figure out what was going on down at the bakery with ease. Then, one day, Mr. Herd called the police station to report his pig missing. Mr. Nosey was summoned on the scene and went to search for the missing pig. Mr. Nosey was able to complete the task and find the missing pig sleeping under some straw.
Mr. Nosey always follows his nose and it always leads him to discovering something big! Perfect for a detective. More specifically, Police Detective Nosey!
