原文
I have just moved to a house in Bridge Street. Yesterday a beggar knocked at my door. He asked me for a meal and a glass of beer. In return for this the beggar stood on his head and sang songs.
I gave him a meal. He ate the food and drank the beer. Then he put a piece of cheese in his pocket and went away. Later a neighbour told me about him.
Everybody knows him. His name is Percy buttons. He calls it every house in the street once a month and always asks for a meal and a glass of beer.
