YOUR OWN BUSINESS was counting to 100, TROUBLE ran down the street and
hid inside a thick hedge.

for his brother. He looked behind some trees, he looked inside some cars
parked in the street and he even looked under the cars, but he couldn’t
find his brother. But when MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS started to look inside
dustbins, a policeman saw him doing this and came over to have a word with
him.

are you doing little boy?”
And the boy replied, “Playing a game.”
The policeman then asked, “What’s your
name?”
And the boy replied, “MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS.”

“Are you looking for trouble?”
