CARRYING AN UMBRELLA

The umbrella was brought to England from the East in the eighteenth century. It was used in the East as a protection against the sun. In England it was used more as a protection against the rain. The English people liked the umbrella very much. Later they put up a monument to the first man who appeared in the streets of London with an umbrella.

        Of course, you can go out without an umbrella in rainy weather if you put on a raincoat, but our story today is about an umbrella. Here it is.

        One day a man was walking in the street when he saw a little boy carrying an umbrella.

        “Little boy,” said the man, “why are you carrying that umbrella over your head? It is not raining and the sun isn’t shining”.

        “When it rains,” answered the boy, “dad wants it. I can use it only when the weather is good”.
