The girl did not have a coat and had to use a sack. Her dad got sick and died. The people wore black clothes and her dad her did not like black, he liked the colors of day. The quilting mothers made her a coat so she could go to school. A boy pulled her braid. The kids danced around her and laughed at her coat. She broke through the circle and ran away and sat on a log. Then she went back to school and told the kids about all the scraps and they were sorry and wanted to be her friend.
