Overcoat Short Story Part II

It was a cold winter day, the poor John could only wear a old and working suit against the freezing weather. That is his dream to have a warm and nice fur overcoat, but the cruel reality, poverty, totally ruined his dream. He squat down, sitting on the side of the busy road, looking at the colorful cars, feeling like the city prosperity had nothing to do with him. He moved his hands to the pants pocket to get a little bit warmth. Suddenly, he seemed to recall something. "Yes, the golden bank card, why wouldn't I try that? There is must be tons of money there!" He stand up, trying to find a clothes store, leaving all the hope on that shining card.

"I want overcoat, size 44," he stand by a clothes hanger, staring at these nice overcoats, and did not know which one choose to buy."How much is that," he can't move his eyes from a rabbit fur coat, that is the nicest coat he has ever seen. 

"Oh, this one?" the waiter looked at him up and down. All he could see was a pair of broken boots, old working pants, and a out fashioned coat with some construction materials on that. "I do not think you can afford, this is the best clothing store in the city, only the VIPs come," the waiter said impatiently, looking at John disdainfully.

"I got a card, may I try it?" John showed his shiny golden bank card, and said confidently.

"Let me see," the waiter was just going to serve other guests, but he turned around and said curiously. "How could he have that?" The waiter was shocked after he saw that, and spoke softly to himself.

"Oh, yes you can, I don't know you are the bank's Golden VIP. Sorry, I thought...Just try the clothes on, I think it fits you very well. Look at the wonderful color and design. I can't believe, it is just made for you. It matches your handsome appearance." The waiter's face changed so quickly, and became so respectful to John.

"wow, that is such a useful card!" John took the overcoat and paid as he thought.

"See you next time" the waiter bowed to John as John left the store.

John bought all the things he wanted with the card. His social position rocketed up just in the following several day. Many his friends' friends came to visit and flatter at him after they knew John was such a rich people. John's life changed tremendously, just with the accident gain, the shiny golden bank card
