Mrs.
Curious
Hi! My name is Janet Curious. I live on the top of an
apartment building in a small town. I’m a very curious
woman and I always want to learn what other people
are doing. As you see, now I’m watching people in my
neighbourhood through my binoculars.
West Street is busy today. Tina and Victoria are going into a clothes shop and
Mr. Thompson is buying some biscuits and a newspaper from the kiosk on the
corner. The baker is sitting out and drinking tea because there are no customers in his shop
now. The florist is preparing a nice bouquet of roses for a handsome man. I think the
man is late for a meeting as he is looking at his watch and seems worried. There are a
lot of people in the butcher’s. The shop owner is cutting meat and his assistant is talking to
an old woman at the moment. Oh my god! There’s a traffic accident in front of the post
office. Two men are looking at their cars and talking to each other. Charlotte and her
husband are waiting for a bus at the bus stop. I suppose they are going to the shopping mall now as they
always do on Saturdays.
Let me have a look at the park on Pole Street. Oh, it’s so crowded with children as usual. Kathryn is skipping
rope and Grace is playing with her doll. Walter and Harold are feeding a few street dogs as they love animals
so much. Little Alfie is crying and pointing to a balloon seller. Her mother is reading a newspaper. Pamela is
playing on the monkey bars while her brother is swinging. Terry, Laura and Sharon are sliding and laughing.
George isn’t riding his bicycle because he has a flat tyre. Shirley is playing volleyball with a group of children,
but she isn’t good at it. Three cats are following Joe because he is eating a big sandwich. Mr. and Mrs.
Brown are resting on a bench and getting some fresh air. Some teens are sitting under the big pine tree.
Virginia is playing the guitar and they are singing happily. Dennis is running and trying to fly his kite while his
friend, James is jumping up and down with joy. It’s so nice to watch people here on my balcony, but I must
go now.
