　　But one day， a cigarette falls on it and makes a hole in it. So Mrs Smith says， “Please don’t wear it again.” Mr Smith takes it to a tailor’s shop and says to the tailor， “Please make another coat like this one.” The tailor does what he is told him and makes a new coat. Then the tailor makes a hole in it again with his cigarette in the same place.
