Excerpt from Beggars German does not aspire to these luxuries, and is well satisfied to get the plain diet of his native land - without taking advantage of the offers of a richer country - and to do no work for it. He is not a true beggar either, for he is always ready to do odd jobs, such as fruit or hop picking and potato digging, but is not eager for steady work.
