Geraldine is telling the story. Geraldine thinks Mary has taken her coat.

Two days ago, .................. saw Mary wearing my coat. I knew .................. was mine,
because .................. had a coffee stain on the left sleeve. I explained to .................. that it
was ............., but she said .................. was .................., refused to give .................. back and
stormed off. I followed .................. as she took the liberty of going shopping in ..................
coat. First of all, .................. purchased cigarettes and put .................. in the pocket of my coat.
Ugh! How dare ..................! .................. hate the smell of cigarettes!

Next, .................. popped into a "Greasy Spoon" cafe. (Due to the greasy atmosphere and
rancid cooking smells, all working men's cafes have that nickname because all .................. food
is fried in oil.) I peered in through the window and noticed .................. was sitting down on
one of the greasy chairs. Oh, no! Not only is my coat going to stink of fried food,
but .................. is also going to have greasy stains on ..................!

As I watched, she started to undo .................. coat and then took .................. off. I waited
until .................. had removed .................. and hung .................. up with some grubby
workmen's coats on coat hooks in the corner. I decided .................. would be a good idea to
wait until she wasn't looking, then .................. could rush in and grab the coat. I glanced away
for a few minutes to blow .................. nose and when I looked back, the coat had gone. Racing
into the cafe, I looked frantically about .................. and noticed an old tramp limping out of
another door with .................. coat gracing .................. rounded shoulders. ..................
desperately shouted, "Stop! Thief!" Mary looked up in surprise. "Quick Mary, " I yelled, "That
tramp has walked off with .................. coat!"

"No, he hasn't," she replied. "He looked so cold, poor thing, I told .................. ..................
could have it"

"What! .................. gave my coat away!"

"Of course not! Although .................. coats are similar, that was a green coat; your one is
brown, so that one was definitely not ..................! Can't you get special glasses or tablets
for .................. colour-blindness?"
