The Busybody

[Lowell Brandon]

Mildred lived in a small town, and was known as a busybody, because she fancied herself as the guardian of the town's morals. No one would say anything against her, because they were afraid of her. One day a newcomber showed up in church, named Frank. Mildred said, I'm not too sure about Frank here. I saw him parked in from of the local tavern. Frank didn't say a word, neither confirmed nor denied it, didn't defend himself at all. He just walked away, without a word. The next night, Frank parked his truck in front of Mildred's house, walked home, and left his truck at Mildred's house all night long. Mildred never said another word about anybody in the town after that!
