I’ve told you not to be late, but you …” he suddenly stopped and looked at my wet clothes. He turned to the class and said, “I’m s orry, my boys and girls.” With these words he quickly took off his own jacket and handed it to me. “Now take off your wet coat and put this one on or you’ll catch a cold,” he said kindly.I went to my seat with Mr Smith’s jacket on.
