My 15-year-old brother John and I saw the coat at the same time. The thick black wool of the coat was soft, and it
only 28 dollars. We looked at each other, saying
, but John’s face was shining with joy. Dark woolen coats were popular with boys at that time, and could cost several hundred dollars. But this coat was much
.
John tried on the coat and bought it at once. John wore the coat to school the next day and came home
a big smile. “How did the kids think of your coat?” I asked. “They loved it very much,” he said. I started to
him “Lord (老爷) John”.
During the next few weeks, a
came over John. He became more polite, more thoughtful and more pleasing. He would lend his classmates his pens; he would bring his father a cup of tea when he got home; he would help a blind man
the road.
One day, my brother and I met a friend in the library. “Could this be John?” he asked in a great surprise. John shook hands with him, just
a gentleman!
What
changed John? It was his own attitude. If you think you are a gentleman or a lady, you
a perfect one.
