According to her husband, Barbara was a real busybody.
She just couldnât mind her own business.
One of her New Yearâs resolutions was to resist being nosy.
One day while they were taking a stroll, they passed by a building site with a wooden fence around it.
They could hear a group of people on the other side of the fence chanting âThirteen, thirteen, thirteenâ, over and over again.
Barbara desperately wanted to take a peek but managed not to give in to her temptation.
âWhat on Earth could be going on in there?â she wondered aloud.
âI have no idea,â said the husband. âBut Iâm going to find outâ
The fence was to high to see over, but he found a knothole in the fence that he could look through.
As he put his eye up to the hole, a finger poked him in the eye.
As he pulled back, the people behind the fence started chanting âFourteen, fourteen, fourteenâ
Thatâs all for now.
See you next timeâ
