beggar Percy Buttons

I'am Percy Buttons, a beggar. Once a month I call every house in Bridge Street and asks for a meal and a glass of beer. Always people are kind to me, they give me other food except what I aksed. In return I will sing my favorite song for them, music makes me happy and I wish my song can make others happy too. This kind of life makes me feel at ease, free and comfortable.

Neighbour
I live in Bridge Street, and recently a new neighbour came. One day Percy Buttons knocked at the door of our neighbour, and he gave Percy a meal and a glass of beer, Percy stood on his head and sang a song, then went away with one piece of cheese. I told my neighbour about Percy Buttons, I felt that my neighbour thought almost the same like me, the beggar is more free and happier than us. At that moment I knew people just live what they want was happy.

Beggar Percy Buttons:
A new neighbour moved into this street. So I have another home to sing a song for. Yesterday I finally decided to knock his door. As usual, I asked him for a meal and a glass of beer and in return I sing songs for him. The new neighbour was pretty nice because the food was very delicious and the beer was good. I was so happy that I put a piece of cheese in my pocket and went away. Oh , I forgot to sing songs!

Neighbour:
When I went out to throw rubbish yesterday night, I saw something! Ok, you may have guess it. Yes, it's Percy Buttons again. He was knocking the new neighbour's door and beg for the food and beer again! Obviously, the new neighour was pretty nice and the begger went away after his belly full. The new must have no idea of this person and maybe I should tell him.

My name is Percy Buttons. I'm a beggar. I call at every house in Bridge Street once a month and always ask for a meal and a glass of beer. Lately, a new man just moved to a house in this street. Yesterday I knocked at his door. I asked him for a meal and a glass of beer. In return for this, I stood on my head and sang songs. He gave me a meal. I ate the food and drank the beer. Then I put a piece of cheese in my pocket and went away. Neighbours must have told him about me because everybody knows me in this street.

beggar Percy Buttons

I know others in this town call me beggar but I'd like been called performer instead of beggar. People who offered me food and beer can watch my unique performance: singing a song while standing on my head. Everyone in this town knows me. Yesterday I visited a people who just moved to this neighborhood. I asked for a meal and a glass of beer and let him watching my typical performance after I ate the meal and drunk the beer. This is my way to say welcome. People in this neighborhood always nice to me. I am really satisfied with my life.

Author's parents

Our son moved to a new neighborhood which is far away from here recently. To our surprise the first people who visited him was a beggar. However, this beggar do not like other normal beggars. if you offer him a meal and a glass of beer which he always request, he show you his special skill: singing a song while standing on his head. That is what he done to our son soon after he moved into this neighborhood. A neighbor told our son that the beggar whose name is Percy Buttons is famous in this town. He makes his living by calling at every house in the street once a month and always asks for a mean and a glass of beer. What an interesting person!

I have just moved to a new house in Bridge Street. A neighbor told me that there is a beggar here, whose name is Percy Buttons. All of us know him, who calls at every house in the street once a month and always asks for a meal and some money. He will not go away if you do not give those of both.
The day before yesterday he visited me when having lunch. He asked me to give some money and a meal. I have given him some money without a meal. I didn’t care him, who has stayed at my house for three hours. At last I called the policeman to catch him to the police office.

2, neighbor

I have moved to a new house in Bridge Street for half a month. The neighbors know and hate a person whose name is Percy Buttons. He is very lazy and he has never worked and he needs to beg the foods in the street, so he was called a beggar by the neighbors. Once a month he called at every house in the street and always asks for a meal and a glass of beer. They thought of kinds of way, but could do nothing for him.

Neighbor
Yesterday morning, I woke up at about eight o’clock. Then I went to check my mailbox with a cup in my hand. When I opened the door, I saw a beggar was knocking at my neighbor’s door. The beautiful two-story house belongs to a pretty young lady, who moved to our street only a week ago. Driven by my curiosity, I continued standing there to watch what would happen, even though I had known about it. The beggar, named Percy Buttons, comes to the street once a month to call for something to eat or to drink. He appears so many times that everyone who lives here knows him. Then the door was opened and the lady, who seemed still drowsy, went out. I couldn’t hear clearly the dialog between the lady and the beggar. Suddenly, the man began to stand on his head and sing songs, which looked like an excellent show. Then the lady returned to her house. When she appeared once again, she brought some food and beer. After eating some of the food and drinking the beer, he put the rest in his pocket and then went away.

On the music club meeting day, I heard our old friend Kate talking about a beggar who had a beautiful voice. I remebered once a while my son told me a beggar had visited and sang songs for him when he was preparing the meal. So
I mentioned this to Kate. She was really interested. She told me that she only heard his singing once, but could never forget it. She was also seriously thinking about finding the beggar and offer him a job on her studio. This must be an life-changing chance for the beggar. I would tell my son about this at once.

1.begger Percy Buttons

I live in Bridge Street and I like this place very much. I have many neighbers
who are friendly and helpful. Now that they are all kind persons, I have decided
to do something for them. People always feel proud when giving help to others. After
all I'm a warmhearted person, so I began a gorgeous career-pretending I'm poor
and calling on every house in the street then ask for a meal. Sure I felt shame
sometimes but I reminded myself once and once again-I'm doing a good deed. So I
needed a cup of beer, it became one of my habits. They felt good about
helping me, just like they were billionaires.Stupid humans.

My son just moved to a new place.He met some interesting thing recently. A few
days ago a beggar kocked his door and asked for a meal and a glass of beer.My
kind boy gave hin what he wanted,then the beggar stood on his head and sang songs.
What interested me most was that the beggar calls every house in the street once
a month.Then he can alway eat and drink for free!What a shrewd guy.

beggar Percy Buttons
I'm a beggar, as everybody knows here. I come to this street once a month, call every house and ask for a meal and a glass of beer. For return, I'll show them my little trick-singing while standing on my head.
As I said, everybody knows that I'm a beggar, but no one knows my true identity. In fact,I'm a famous millionaire in this city. Of course I know you would ask that why I pretend to be a beggar doing these silly things. Will you believe me that it‘s all because of a girl who is definitely my first love.
When I was ten years old, I was poor, a real beggar. One day I sat in the corner of the steet, very very hungry. I cried despairingly, thought that I would die that night. At that moment a beautiful girl come to me, gave me a delicious meal and a glass of beer, which save me and comfort me. With the light of streedlamp shining on her head,I believed she's an angle. I was shocked and did a such silly thing as a return for her, to sing songs while standing on my head. She laughed,which I believed it's the most beautiful smile in this world.
She left without name,but I never forgot her. I tried my best to survive and became rich finally. Oneday I met her again, I was so excited and eager to say hello to her. Before I speak, I saw her husband and son. She has a happy family, which I should be happy for. I feel lost, the deepest of my heart broken. Finally I decide to do something silly for her without disturbing her. As you know, I pretend to be a beggar and play my little trick, just like who I was and what I did twenty years ago. Every time I come, she still smiles like an angle giving me meal and beer. I gather other food I got from her neighborhood slinkingly and bring to real beggar. I think I can't forget her and I’ll continue to do it.

Neighbor
Today that interesting begger come here again. He always asks for meal and beer, and for return, he sings while standing on his head. It reminds me a poor little beggar twenty years ago I met. I gave him food and he did same thins for return. That was a lovely boy. Is there any possibilities that they are same man? I don't know, and I‘ve never asked this man. It must be silly. And which is more strange that every time the beggar come, he always sings songs that I favoured, or the songs from CD I newly bought. What a coincidence! Maybe he’s somekind an angle sent by god. He definitely brings surprise and happy to me. I like him and wait him come again. Maybe next time I can prepare a pizza for him.

There is a beggar on Bridge street where I live. He always shows up around once a month for a meal and a glass of beer. As the return, he will give a performance for us. He is kind of famous on this street. Everyone is very nice to him. But there are somebody wondering why this guy does not work for living since he is not disable. Someone had asked the beggar about that, but he just kept silence. Since everyone has secrets, people stop troubling him anymore about this kind of question. He is kind of nice because he always just asks for little food which shows that he is not avaricious. So, everybody will give some food every time he drops by. The last time he showed up, I was having big dinner with my family. So I invited him to come in. However he refused it because he thought he is not clean and he just wanted some food to eat. After that, I start to have big interest on him. And I'm going to ask something from him.

2.Parents
Our daughter just moved in a wonderful neighborhood. There are some entertaining cafes and bars around that place. But there is one thing keeps bothering me. There is always a beggar hanging in the neighborhood. My daughter told me that this homeless person is harmless at all. However, this kind of person always showing around is kind creep for me. I suggested to tell this situation to the police but my daughter stopped me. I just can't understand this! Most beggars are hanging around the loop because there are more chances for them to get money. Why doesn't him go to loop! I am really afraid that this beggar is going to do something dangerous someday.

1、 beggar Percy Buttons
Who will be the host of my dinner tonight? I don’t know, all the thing I need is just a meal and a glass of beer. People here are kind to me. They don’t refuse my monthly knock, but share their sweet home with me at that moment.

Today I found there is a new settler in the town. It is a family with two lovely kids, an elder brother and a little sister. I wanted to know whether their parents are also as kind as other residents surround them, so I came to their door and knocked. The man opened the door with uncertainty, after I told him the reason his face turned to understanding and invited me into his house. I was directed to the table, sitting with them and enjoying a big meal------more than a meal, I appreciated a feeling of warm from a generous and compassionate family.


2、neighbour
We live in a small town with comfortable houses and quiet life style. People here are kind, they satisfy with the life, keeping a thought of appreciation to everything they experience. Why they can be so nice? That will thanks to a beggar in our town.

Every month, the beggar comes to the street, knocking at a door randomly, begging a meal and a beer. People usually welcome his visiting. They let him sit with them, sharing all the happiness that night. But this thing only happens once in a month. After the beggar’s leaving, people can reflect the ugly side in life, looking forward to a better life, and holding a sense of appreciation to what they have own. Because of the beggar, we won’t expand the endless aspirations but look down to the earth and fight step by step. The beggar teach all the families in our town to be precious to the life.

Percy Buttons

Boring, the world people live is so boring. I'm a so-called beggar on Bridge Street, where some nouveau rich live there, I like to play with them as stand on my head, watching them in an upside-down angle, which made me laugh a lot. What's more, I like to do this with snacks, usually a meal and a glass of beer, of course I asked those foods for free. Then the news just came out, I was regarded as a beggar, but actually, I just make fun of those boring folks.

Neighbour

A nouveau rich just moved to my neighbor, in order to be acquainted with him, I just chat with him from the very same start, gossip about the beggar. I have been here nearly 2 years, every month I saw that poor beggar standing on his head, and asking for meal and drinks. The most of people have already got used to it, but freshmem are always be kind to him, showing sympathy. I never do that stupid thing, but I like to praise those men, just for sociable needs.

Beggar Percy Buttons
It is my philosophy of life - not to trouble too many too often. I set my schedule monthly. Every day I call at a new house and never go back to the same house in one month whatever good food they offer.
By this way, monthly visiting not only makes me to avoid hunger and thirst, but earn me reputations as not to be notorious. I know standing on my head and singing is just worth little effort and I always appreciate the food and drink they give me. I mean, I only ask for a meal and a glass of beer. They are not costly either. Every now and then, I feed the pigeons in the square. Homeless as I am, I know God will see my heart.

Neighbour
I used to look down upon those beggars who are physically perfectly good, but do nothing to earn themselves bread. However, from Percy Buttons, I see kind of decency in him. He by his own creates a monthly regular scheduled tour. He calls at every house in the street once a month and always only asks s for a meal and a glass of beer and no more. In return, he will stand on his head and sing a song for you.
Every neighbour knows him and treats him with a respect. Though we didn’t talk too much, I can see he is a decent man who has his own dignity. Sometimes we’ve got missing him in other time of the month but to see him appear again and know his wellbeing is just another relief for us.
God bless him.

I'm Percy Buttons and have no job because of the depression of economy. So I have no choice but to call at every house in the street for food. Yestoday, I went to Berge's which is a big house covered by red coating. It's the most beautiful building in the town and the owner, a kind old lady, is nice to everyone. I knocked at the door and a young man opened the door. It turned out that the lady died last weekend and I didn't know it. I stood still and can't speak a word. It was such a shock to me. In return for the kindness that Mr Lady have been giving to me, I stood on my head and sang a song to her.

Mr Buttons has been living in this town for years. He knocks at every house in the street once a month and asks for a meal and a glass of beer. In return for this, he usually would help us do some housework or sing a song to us to express his gratitude. Last week a young man just moved in our town and he looked pretty shocked when Mr Buttons visited him. I kown he will get to used to it over time.

My name is Percy Buttons, and I am very famous in Bridge Street because I always call at every house once a month and ask for a meal and a glass of beer. Yesterday morning I called at a house as usual. The host opened the door and asked me for what. It seems that this guy is a new baby in this street, maybe his neighbor had never been told him about me. So I told him that I would stand on my head and sang songs in exchange of a meal and a glass of beer. Though felt curious, he did as what I said. After eat and drank, I put a piece of cheese in my pocket and left. I thought he would not be curious about me the next time he saw me.

But he accepted and gave the beggar a meal and a glass of beer, in return, he could see the beggar stand on his head and sing a song. Then the beggar went away with a piece of cheese in his pocket. At that moment, my neighbor saw me and asked why I had never been told him about this, I said that this was a surprise for him.

I am Percy Buttons, the smartest beggar in this world. I love people who live in Bridge Street. They are gracious graybeards, lovely beauties, and even rocky guys. What most important is that they give me a meal and a glass of bear once a month. Of course I’ll stand at my head and sing songs in return for those. Yesterday, there came a new man. I knocked his door and he not only gave me a meal and a glass of bear, but also a piece of cheese. He really is a nice guy!

Beggar:
I am Peter Bush. I work in Wall Street and I earn much money each year. I have an idiocrasy which people may think weird--- begging for a meal from strangers. I enjoy the feelings of talking with totally strangers to whom you have no commercial intention. I walk around Bridge Street and knock at the door in which the decoration attracts me. I always ask for a meal and a glass of beer and always get an agreeable reply. In return I stand on my head and sing some simple songs. I tell people my name is Percy Buttons and I am homeless. Generally, people living in Bridge Street work in factories, so they won’t chance upon me in my work place.

Neighbor:
Percy Buttons comes again. He is homeless. What a poor guy! He comes around this district once a month and asks for a meal with a glass of beer. Several months ago he knocked at our door and I was amused by his show. I invited him in and prepared a delicious meal for him. He was very humorous and knowledgeable. I like him. Actually, not only me, all people in this street like him and regard him as a friend.

beggar Percy Buttons
My name is Percy Buttons, I am an orphan, grew up in Lia orphanage. My life was going with a swing until the night I left Lia for colleague. That night I received a mount of money and an antique watch which our father emphasized the important of it and asked me to keep carefully. Before called by our father, I was standing in the gallery and watching outside. I saw a black car parking in front of the gate, a woman in black suit was going towards the car. Suddenly, she stopped and turned her head back, looking towards me. When our sights approached, I was shocked. At that moment, I just knew she was my mum. After that day, I never saw her again.
When I graduated from colleague, I decided to find her. According to the car number in my faint memory, I deduced that she was living in Bridge Street four years ago. And it is my only line I can follow. So I pretend to be a beggar and knocked every house in the town once a month for check. Yesterday, a new family moved to a house, I visited them this morning and a man opened the door. As usual, I asked for a meal and a glass of beer. when he went inside to get, I looked around trying to find something like photographs. I saw a photo hanging in the wall, it was to far to see her face clearly, could just tell it was an old woman. When I intended to walk closer, the man came back with a meal. I had to stop, stood in my head singing a song in return for his meal.

My name is Percy Buttons and I'm a beggar in Bridge Street. I usually calls at every house in the street once a month and always asks for a meal and a glass of beer. Yesterday a man moved into the street. I went to his house and knocked at his door. I asked him to bring a meal to me and in return for this, I stood on my head and sang a song. After he giving me the meal, I ate it immediately. Then I put a piece of cheese in my pocket and went to another house. Later, when I was passing by his house, I heard a talk between him and a neighbor. I heard the neighbor said that he will call the police next time I knock his door, and the new neighbor agree with him. they are such heartless men! How could I live the rest of my life.

[邻居]
A man has just moved to a house in our street. Yesterday I heard someone knocked at his door, I think it must be the beggar who always calls at every house in the street once a month and always asks for a meal and a glass of beer. I don't like the beggar because every time when I went into kitchen to pick up the meal and beer, he always stepped into my house and made the floor very dirty. I told him don't step into the house, but he didn't listen, which makes me very angry. I opened my window and heard someone was singing a song, I knew it's the beggar asking my new neighbor for meal and beer, because he usually sing a song in return for that. After the beggar went away, I came to my new neighbor's house and told him that I decided to call the police next time he come. After listening my reason, he totally agree with me and he told me that the beggar also stepped into his house when he was preparing the meal.

The beggar:
I am not going to tell you my real name. You can call me in the way everybody calls me. I was well-known in London despite you believing or not. What I want to tell is the reason that I always just ask for a meal and a glass of beer.

Have you ever found some regular things from my behaviors? Actually, I only beg for a meal and beer at 7:00 pm. It’s the time that people just finish their dinner and clear the dinner table. In that moment, they are always happy with finding a place to throw the left food.

I also want to talk about the frequency. Why do I call at every house once a month? Actually, there also is a law with which everyone doesn’t feel bother. The law is that you just meet a people once a month.

‘Who the heck are you? Why do you also take a piece of cheese?’

‘I’m Sherlock Holmes. I need cheese to feed my brother Mycroft Holmes. We have been this street for six months.’



The author’s parents:
My daughter Lisa said she met a beggar. Everyone who lives in the street calls him Percy Buttons. That guy is a funny beggar. He asked my daughter for a meal and a glass of beer one day. My daughter gave a meal and beer as he wished. The funny thing was that he sang a song for returning.

His voice was beautiful. He left my daughter’s house at the same time. But, my daughter fell deeply into his voice, and didn’t notice he was leaving. After that, my daughter asked everybody lives in that street where Percy Buttons would be. And the people told her that he only knocks everyone’ door once a month.

So, my daughter prepared a meal and a glass of beer for him after a month. Finally, he knocked on my daughter’s door again.

On that day, my daughter told him: ‘Your sound have opened my heart since last time you sang the song for me.’

And, you know what that guy said? He said: ‘sorry, lady, I just sang for my food.’

Beggar:
  My name is Percy Button, working in CIA as a spy for the United State, investigating an upcoming terrorist event in this area. To get more information, firstly, I need to start from people lived here while not being found out my identity. After taking all these factors into consideration, pretending a beggar asking for a meal may be the best choice.
  Since the first investigation, it has been half a year. Not only I haven't dug out any information[

At this point, transformation is vital, because it doesn't make sense, if you ask for something from other people without doing anything for them.[because ... 引导的是从句,并不是主句。

Neibour:
  The beggar? Yes. He knocks at people's door everyday and asking for a meal and a beer. Tell me about it![tell me about it
可不是吗] He's annoying, isn't he? He claims to be an agent working in CIA[he claims to be ...
他声称...] for the United State, investigating an upcoming terrorist event. However, I think he is just a beggar hitting us up[

to ask someone for a loan of money or for some other favor.] without any paying as exchange. Recently, I lost my gold ring with diamond, the ring my husband gave me as a ten-year-marriage anniversary present with our names in it! I think he is the man who stole it! Next time if he dares to approach my house, I will call the police immediately. And please bear in mind. Sarath! DO NOT let him get into your house! If you want to offer him a meal, please do so outside the house, which wouldn't give him a chance to steal something from you.

1. Beggar Percy Buttons
Beggar Day is an especially interesting day for me. Once a month, I just dress like a beggar, calling at every house’s door in the street and asking for a meal & a glass of beer. You may consider me insane, but I get a chance to live another life, which is really different with my boring one.
I’ve heard that Yesterday, I came to the new house, whose owner just moved here for a few days. I knocked at the door, and a really delicate beautiful woman answered. As always, I asked for a meal and a glass of beer. She was really a kind person. I ate the food and drank the beer, then put a piece of cheese in my pocket and went away. I guessed that her neighbor would tell her this traditional day in our neighborhood one day.

2. Neighbor
In my community Bridge Street, there is a traditional activity that someone pretends to be a beggar to raise the awareness of being kind and warm-hearted. Since I lived here, Percy Buttons just had been this guy. Yesterday, I saw that he came to the new-coming hostess for a meal and a glass of beer. In return for this, he stood on his head and sang songs. After eating the food and drinking the beer, he put a piece of cheese in his pocket and went away.
Today, I met the hostess again, and she told me what happened yesterday about him. In fact, everyone knows him. He just calls at every house once a month as the most honored guest.

Percy Buttons
My name is Percy Buttons, you can call me Percy. In the eyes of most of people, I am a beggar. Actually, I am proud of being that person who I have been disguising as for several years. My true identity is a spy with honorable aims. My job is to protect the people living in Bridge Street from adversary. Once in a month, I call at every house in the street, asking for a meal and a glass of beer, in order to examine how well or bad the people are there. I don’t regret doing this job, by contrast, I feel it worthy and meaningful to do it. In America, they create such heroes as Batman, Spiderman and X-men, but in Britain, we have Beggar Percy.

Neighbor
As a resident in Bridge Street, I have been curious about beggar Percy Buttons. He is so different from his counterparts. He visits our street once a month, no matter whether it is sunny or stormy, rainy or windy. In some month, I didn’t see him at the end of the month, when I gave up the hope of seeing him; he appeared in the corner of the street on the last day. What a weird guy! Some think Percy Buttons is a spy, some believe he is a mob, some say they saw him punching people, some tell me that he is a hero. I don’t know who he truly is, but I have a feel that he is not evil.

I am a lovely pigeon. Mr. James Scott is my new master. He bought me from the zoo. I thought I would have a wonderful life in his garage on the contrary. Because Mr. James Scott con not get a telephone for his new garage. He will call me to carry a message from Pinhurst to Silbury. I told him I only can cover the distance in three minutes. Up to now, I have accepted a great many requests sent by my master for spare parts and some urgent message from one garage to the other. I was so tired. He did not give me more feed. In this way, he has bought more than twelve pigeons for his own private telephone service.

I'm Percy Buttons, a beggar, living near the Bridge Street.(or lived in Bridge Street nearby). I usually called at every house in the street once a month and asked for a meal and a glass of beer. In return for this, I would give them some special performances so that no one can refuse my passion(or that's why no one can refuse my passion). Yesterday I heard that a family just had moved here. I believe It is time to visit this new resident. In the evening, I knock at the door and ask for food and beer as usual. But the man who is frowning appears unwilling to accept my request. Now I start my performance, standing on my head and singing songs. Finally, he give me a piece of cheese and a glass of beer.

I am a beggar, and I usually beg for a meal and a glass of beer. But I have a rule, that is I only beg a house once a month. Yesterday I found somebody moved into a house, so I knocked at the door and asked for a meal and a glass of beer. The owner was very kind and he gave me what I asked, in return for this, I stood on my head and sang songs. I ate the food and drank the beer. I also put a piece of cheese in my pocket when I left, because I wanted to keep it for tomorrow's meal.

2. Neighbour
I live in Bridge Street, several days ago, a young man moved to a house near by. The beggar who always beg nearby found it and started to ask for meal from the new neighbour. The beggar was very different from other beggars. He usually asks for a meal and a glass of beer. But what he asks are not free, instead of paying you money, he would stand on his head and sing songs to pay you back. He calls at every house in the street once a month, and all my neighbours are kind and usually watch his show and pay him the food he asked.

As Percy Buttons
I am homeless. I beg for a living. Do I feel ashamed of myself? Yes, I do. I was a sailor when I was young. I travelled the world. I had a great life. But everything changed after Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor. I enlisted in the navy and started fighting. My legs and hands were injured during the war and therefore I can’t work again. I got little disability compensation after retiring from the navy. I became a tramp before long. However, I never strayed too far. Basically, I lived in Bridge Street where a lot of nice people live. I asked for a meal and a glass of bear at every house once a month. Everyone knows me, except some guy moving in a couple of days ago. Likewise, he is nice. When I knocked at his door, he seemed to be surprised. But he gave me meal and bear anyway. I am seventy years old. There is not much life that left to me. I may die soon. I wish they can take care of my funeral.

As neighbor
I came across Jack at the park. He has just moved it in Bridge Street with his wife and daughter. We talked for a moment. He asked me that if I knew the guy knocking his door the other day for food. I told him that he was Percy Buttons, a tramp living in Bridge Street. He told me that he gave him a meal and a glass of bear. Jack is really a nice guy. Maybe I can invite him over for dinner.

Beggar:
Hey, I'm Percy Buttoms. As you known, I am a beggar who wandering around Bridge Street, and ask for a meal and a glass of beer once a month by performing in front of someone's house. Everyone knows me for sure, everyone who live on this street of course. Well, you might ask me, how can I survive with one meal and a bottle of alcohol per month. Haha, very funny question. Of course not, I also perform and get food in exchange some other time in some other street. However, I sort of know everyone in theses streets, and easily understand that if anyone moves in or out. Yesterday i went to the Bridge Street, and met a family that i haven't seen before. I asked for food and performed in exchange. this family is sort of nice, they didn't cart me away immediately, but letting me have meal in their house and actually permitted me for taking their cheese and beer. Ha, I bet they have heard of me the very day they moved in!
