A Tale of Two Jackets

Andrew walks out of his meeting, completely exhausted. After three long days ofnegotiating, he has finally worked out a deal that is sure to get him a promotion. Despitethe fact that he has an early flight back to New York in the morning, Andrew decides tohave a few drinks at the pub across the street. He has been in London for three days andhas not seen any of the city. He cannot leave without at least visiting a pub, he thinks.He quickly crosses the street and walks through the blue door of the pub. He notices acoat rack next to the door and carefully hangs his jacket from one of the hooks. Andrewdoes not really consider it to be his jacket though. It was his father’s jacket, but it waspassed down to Andrew after his father died last year. Almost every memory Andrewhas of his dad involves him wearing the dark red coat.
