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. His name is Percy Buttons. He calls at every house in the street once a month. He always asks for a meal and a glass of beer.

我刚刚搬到大桥街的一栋房子。昨天一个乞丐来敲我的门。他向我要一顿饭和一杯啤酒。作为回报,那乞丐倒立着唱起了歌。我给了他一顿饭。他把食物吃完,啤酒喝完。然后把一块奶酪放进口袋里走了。后来一个邻居跟我讲了他的情况。他叫珀西·巴顿斯。他每月拜访这条街的每户人家一次。他总是要一顿饭和一杯啤酒。
