I remember the green coat in my fifth and sixth grades.It was the coolest thing I had ever seen.
   When I needed a new jacket，my mother asked what kind I wanted.I described something like bikers wear.She listened carefully，and I thought she understood for sure the kind I wanted.
   The next day when I got home from school，I discovered a jacket on my bed.I went close to the jacket slowly，as if it was a stranger.It was green，but not the kind of green I wanted.And it was too big for me.From the kitchen，mother shouted that my jacket was in the closet（衣柜）.I rushed and pulled at the clothes in the closet，hoping the jacket on the bed wasn't for me but my brother.No luck.
   I wanted to cry because it was so ugly and so big.But I knew I'd have to wear it for a long time before I'd have a new one.I looked at the jacket，like an enemy（敌人） I put the big jacket on and stood in front of the mirror.It was ugly.I felt disappointed and I couldn't understand why my mother didn't get me the kind of jacket I wanted.
   As time went by，I wore the green jacket every day，and it started to grow on me.I realized that it was warm and comfortable，and it kept me dry on rainy days.I also noticed that some of my classmates said the jacket looked cool and special.
   As I wore the green jacket more，it seemed to be a friend of mine.And I began to appreciate（欣赏）it for what it was，rather than what it wasn't.I learned that sometimes things don't turn out the way we expect them to，but that doesn't mean they can't be good in their own way.I'm thankful to the green jacket that taught me an important lesson about appreciating what I have.
