        I remember the green coat in my fifth and sixth grades. When I needed a new jacket, my mother asked what kind I wanted, I described something like bikers' wear. She listened long. I thought she understood for sure the kind I wanted.

        The next day when I got home from school, I discovered, on my bed, a jacket which was not what I had expected. I went close to the jacket slowly, as if it were a stranger.

        From the kitchen Mother shouted that my jacket was in the closet. I rushed and pulled the clothes in the closet, hoping the jacket on the bed wasn't for me but my brother. No luck, I wanted to cry because it was so ugly and so big. But I knew I'd have to wear it for a long time before I'd have a new one. I looked at the jacket, like, an enemy, thinking bad things before I took off my old and small jacket.

        I put the big jacket on. I stood in front of the mirror(镜子),turning right and left. I looked ugly.

        I threw it on my brother's bed and looked at it for a long time before I put it on and went out, smiling a "thank you" to my mom.

    The next day I wore it to school. At the morning break, my best friend, Steve, looked at me for a long time. The girls turned away to whisper. The teachers looked at me and talked about how foolish I looked in my new jacket.  When it was time for the whole school to get together on the playground,   ▲   . Although they didn't say out aloud,“Man,that's ugly," I heard their talks and even laughter.

        And so I went, in my jacket. So embarrassed, so hurt, I couldn't even do my lessons for the rest of the day. I received Cs on tests.

        I wore that thing for three years. All in those years no love came to me.

        I blamed(指责) that jacket for those bad years. I blamed my mother for her bad taste and her cheap ways. It was a sad time for the heart. Anyway, I spent my sixth-grade year, looking forward to something good to happen to me.

        And it was about that time I began to grow, still in that green jacket, which had become my brother who went along wherever I went.
