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.New words and expressions 生词和短语beggar n. 乞丐food n. 食物pocket n. 衣服口袋call v. 拜访，光顾扩展资料：《新概念英语》（New Concept English）是1997年由外语教学与研究出版社和培生教育出版中国有限公司联合出版的一套英语教材。
