    My l4-year-old son, John, and I spotted the coat which was hanging at a secondhand clothing store in Northampton Mass.

The coat had beautiful tailoring, a Fifth Avenue label and a(an) _______ price of $28, which was popular just then with _______, but could cost several hundred dollars new. This coat was even better, bearing that _______ of classic elegance(优雅). John tried it on and the fit was perfect. 

     John _______ the coat to school the next day and came home wearing a big smile“Did the kids like your coat?” I asked. “They loved it,” he said, _______ folding it over the back of a chair and smoothing it flat. Over the next few weeks, a _______ came over John. Agreement replaced contrariness (作对) and reasoned discussion replaced fierce _______. He became more mannerly and _______, eager to please. He would generously loan his younger brother his tapes and lecture him ________ his behavior. 

When I mentioned this incident to his teacher and ________ what caused the changes, she said laughing. “It ________ be his coat!” Another teacher told him she was giving him a good ________ not only because he had earned ________ but because she liked his coat.

John and I both know we should never ________a person’s clothes for the real person within them. ________ there is something to be said for wearing a standard of excellence for the world to see and for ________ what is on the inside to what is on the outside. 

For John it is a time when it is as easy to try on different approaches to ________ as it is to try on a coat.

And he could picture himself walking through those doors wearing his wonderful, magical coat.
