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 at every house in the street once a month and always asks
for a meal and a glass of beer.&
