Lesson 6 – Percy Buttons

First listen and then answer the question:

Who is 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.

我刚刚搬进了大桥街的一所房子。昨天一个乞丐来敲我的门，问我要一顿饭和一杯啤酒。

作为回报，那个乞丐头顶倒立起来，嘴里还唱着歌。我给了他一顿饭。他把食物吃完，又喝了酒。然后把一块乳酪放进衣袋里走了。

后来，一位邻居告诉了我的情况。大家都认识他，他叫珀西·巴顿斯。他每月对这条街上的每户人家光顾一次，总是请求给他一顿饭和一杯啤酒。
