The Friday after the accidentthey gave me the smock with the blue stripe.Núria wore the white stripe.I still hadn't gone back to her loom.Ramon said, “Your turn,”and put the smock over my arm.The sleeve covered my fingers.He laughed: “You'll make it your own.”The blue stripe goes on the outside.This smock isn't too small for me.Go on, it's your turn now.As I left, they congratulated me.A woman touched my cheek.I knew which stop Núria used,I took the longer way.The new wages reached homebefore I took my boots off.We paid for the girl's glasses all at once.She tried them on my nose before putting them on.The blue stripe goes on the outside.Go on, it's your turn now.I explained there was more work,that I'd learned to lead a group.When they said Andreu's nameI asked who was working his shift.On Monday I put the smock on.They let me speak first.I assigned the other women's places.Núria's, to a new girl.This smock isn't too small for me.The blue stripe goes on the outside.The girl said “thank you”.
