6 Percy Buttons

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
.
