We looked at each other, saying nothing, but John’s eyes shone.
John tried on the coat and 3 it at once. John wore the coat to school the next day happily and came home with a big 4. “How do the kids like your coat?” I asked. “They love it,” he said. I started to call him “Lord (老爷) John”.
Over the next few weeks, there seemed to be a 5 in John. He became more polite, more confident and more pleasing. He would 6 his classmates his pens; he would bring his father a cup of tea when he got home; he would 7 a blind man cross the road.
