A door banged open and the café manager stormed out.

“What do you think you’re doing?” he demanded.

“Busking,” said Bertie. “It’s like music on the street.”

“I know what it is, but you can’t do it here,” snapped the manager. “Clear off!”

He waved an arm at them and went back inside.

Bertie frowned. He had expected a bit more enthusiasm.

“Come on, let’s go to the park,” suggested Eugene, relieved.

“At least we gave it a try,” said Darren.

“But we haven’t earned any money yet!” protested Bertie.

“You heard him. The manager told us to clear off!” said Darren.

Bertie looked at their audience. Maybe they’d started with the wrong song?

“Let’s play ‘Jingle Bells’,” he suggested. “Everyone likes that. It makes you think of Christmas.”

“But it’s summer,” said Eugene. The trouble with Bertie was he never knew when to give up.

“Jingle bells, jingle bells!

Doo doo, doo doo-doo!”

People at the café finished their drinks and left in a hurry.

“Oh what fun it is to ride…”

“STOP!” yelled the manager.

The music stumbled to a halt.

“What did I tell you?” cried the manager. “You’re driving all my customers away!”

Bertie looked around. The café did seem a little emptier than when they’d first arrived.

“Shall we play something else?” he asked.

“NO!” said the manager. “Just go! Find someone else to annoy!”

Bertie sighed and picked up the woolly hat. He held it out.

“I don’t suppose you’ve got any spare change?”
