My 14-year-old son, John, and I spotted the coat at the same time.The coat had a black velvet(Ë¿ÈÞ) collar, delightful tailoring, a Fifth Avenue label and a(an) __1__ price of merely $28.We looked at each other, saying nothing, but John’s eyes __2__.Dark, woolen topcoats were popular just then with teenagers.John put the coat on and __3__ it.He turned from side to side, __4__ himself in the mirror with a serious, studied __5__ that soon changed into a smile.It’s a perfect __6__.

John wore the coat to school the next day and came home wearing a big smile.“How did the kids like your coat£¿”I asked.“They love it.” He said, carefully __7__ it on the chair and smoothing it flat.Over the next few weeks, the __8__came over John.Quiet, reasoned discussion __9__ argument.He became more thoughtful and eager to __10__.“’Good dinner, Mum, ” he would say every evening.One day when I __11__ that he start on homework before dinner, John said, “You are right, and I guess I will.”

When I __12__ this to one of his teachers and remarked that I didn’t know what caused the changes, she said with laughter, “It must be his coat£¡”

John and I both know we should never __13__ a person’s clothes for the real person within them.But it is meaningful to __14__ a standard of excellence for the world to see, to practice a standard of excellence in thought, speech and behavior, and to __15__ what is on the inside with what is on the outside.
