Umbrella - ideas for life

Umbrella

Today when I was taking a walk through the park, I met a friend whom I haven't

seen for ages. She looked at me with curiosity in her eyes.

“You have kept this umbrella for years, it's old and out of fashion. Why do you still keep it and take it wherever you go?”

I smiled at her,“It means a lot to me.” I simply gave her my shortest answer

.

To be honest, I, either could not understand the reason why I keep it.

Suddenly, a strong wind blew over with fallen leaves, which blocked my eyes. I

picked up the umbrella instinctively. Then rain poured down. Thanks to my big umbrella, I didn't get wet at all.

I stared at my huge umbrella,“why do I keep it so long?” I asked myself. I couldn't remember when and where I bought it, for I am always tired and lazy to answer questions. It could protect me from the heavy rain, I told myself eventually.

Looking at the people rushing through the street, I felt safe. This might be another reason.

Thunderstorms came unexpectedly and went without a warning.

Sky cleared up. The sun shone brightly. What a beautiful day!

Just as usual, I seized umbrella with my left hand. Still there's water dropping down. I walked among the noisy crowd and listened to what they were murmuring

in their heart.

“Today I will ask for a rise, or I will leave this company.”

Good luck to you, I smiled to him.

“I will manage to make you live forever.”A little boy held a pet dog close to him.

“She will be all right, because she is blessed.” I heard angels singing in this city...

When I touched my umbrella with my fingertips, I felt it's dry, and it's warm.

Soon it became hot, I held it up to avoid harmful sunshine.

Do I still need a reason to explain why?

Maybe I should think about it.

I need my umbrella when it is sunny as well as it is rainy.
