The mishna starts with ?????? ???? instead of ?????? as explained by Tosfas based on the pasuk Shmos (16,29)
?? ??? ??? ????? a person should not carry a dish to borrow food from someone else or a basket to get charity by filling it up by a rich person. This would explain why the mishna starts with the interaction between the rich and the poor. The rav Bartenura says that it teaches us that this charity done on shabbos is not a mitzva but an aveira.
The GRA says that the word ??? has another implication on the amount a person can walk out of town, on the measurement of a techum. When we take the word ??? multiply the letter equivalent with its neighbor back and forth and accumulate it like this 10 x 90 + 90 x 10 + 90 x 1 + 1 x 90 + 1 x 10 + 10 x 1= 900 + 900 + 90 +90 + 10 +10 = 1800 + 180 + 20 = 1980 + 20 = 2000
