C-S07 — A Jacket with a Second Story
Module C · version 0.4.0 · original fictional reading practice

1. Before a school concert, the singers wanted matching jackets. New jackets cost more than their group could afford. Their teacher suggested borrowing clothes, but student organizer Lihi wanted the group to look special. She visited a secondhand shop and found several blue jackets. They were inexpensive, though none of them matched exactly.
2. At the first practice, some singers laughed at the different shapes and buttons. Lihi nearly returned all the jackets. Then a friend suggested adding the same small yellow ribbon to each one. The ribbon would show that they belonged to one group without hiding the differences between the jackets.
3. The singers cut ribbons together and attached them before the final practice. Lihi also asked each singer to choose a jacket that felt comfortable. They took a group photo and saw that the small yellow details were easy to notice. Nobody complained about the different buttons this time.
4. After the concert, some jackets went back to the shop, while others stayed in the school cupboard for future performances. Lihi had found a way to create a shared look without buying a whole set of new clothes. For the next concert, she checked the cupboard before asking about prices.
