Percy Button
I have just moved to a house in Bridge street. Yesterday a beggar knocked at my house. 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 the piece of cheese in his pocket and went away. Later a neighbour told me about him. Everybody knows him. His name is percy button. He calls at every house in the street once a month and always asks for a meal and a glass of beer
