The Coat

"It was't just an old coat," he shouted. "The pockets were full of treasure!"

Mark knew he shouldn't be listening under the window at old Mr Crowe's house. "What old coat?" asked a woman. Mr Crowe said the grey one, with all the pockets. Then Mark heard the woman speak again. "That old thing! I put it out for the garbage truck this morning." Mark thought that the woman must be Mr Crowe's daughter. Mr Crowe shouted "it wasn't just an old coat. The pockets were full of treasure." Mark had followed the garbage truck before. He could feel the sweat running down his back as he cycled up Hill Road. Mark wondered what could be in the pockets. At last Mark reached the top of the hill. He found the Crowe's bag and there was the coat at the top of the bag. Mark pulled it out and picked up his bike. At home, Mark spread out the coat and emptied the pockets. There was an old fob watch, a faded photo of a young woman, a locket, bottle tops and a shark's tooth. Mark thought that where was the treasure. Mark looked up when his mother came into the room. She asked what's all this. Mark said that just some old stuff he found at the dump. His mother said that it looks like someone's treasure. The next morning, Mark found Mr Crowe in his garden. Mark said that he found your coat. The old man looked surprised as he took his coat from Mark. Mr Crowe said that you've made an old man very hsppy. Mark smiled.
