大卫先生刚刚在布里奇街安顿下来。昨天,一个乞丐敲响了他的门,请求给他一些食物和一杯啤酒。作为对这位乞丐善良行为的回报,乞丐竟然倒立着唱歌。吃完食物、喝完啤酒后,乞丐把一些奶酪放进自己的口袋,然后开心地离开了。之后,隔壁的邻居告诉大卫先生,这个人是珀西·巴顿斯。他每月都会以同样的理由拜访这条街上的每一户人家。大家都认识他,而且他总是要求一份食物和一杯啤酒。
Mr. David has just settled down in Bridge Street. Yesterday, a beggar knocked at his door to ask for a meal and a glass of beer. In return for his kindness, the beggar stood on his head and sang songs. After eating the food and drinking the beer, the beggar put some cheese in his pocket and left happily. Afterwards, a neighbour next door told Mr. David that this man was Percy Buttons. He calls at every house in the street once a month for the same reason. Everyone knows him, and he always asks for a meal and a glass of beer.
