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.
