Today, Mr. Smith goes to a dinner party. He is wearing very old clothes. He comes into the room. But people in the room don't look at him. They don't ask him to sit at the table. He isn't happy. But he doesn't say anything.

Mr. Smith goes home quickly and puts on his best clothes. He goes back to the party. Everyone in the room stands up and looks at him. They give him good food to eat. Mr. Smith takes off (脱下) his coat, and puts it on the food and says, "Eat, coat!" The other people are surprised and asks, "What are you doing? Why do you do that?"Mr. Smith answers, "I am asking my coat to eat food. When I wear old clothes, you don't look at me. You don't ask me to sit down. Now I am wearing these nice clothes. And you give me good food. Now I see, you give the food to my coat, not to me. "
