MY BLUE UMBRELLA ☔
My blue Umbrella was the most pretty thing that ever existed in my Village, and I totally agreed to this fact as well.
When I saw it for the first time, I was unable to take off my eyes from it. Its beauty attracted me towards it with more force. It was owned by the Picnickers.
The picnickers asked me what do I want and I replied – “That Blue Umbrella”. At first they refused but later on, they agreed to give that blue umbrella to me and in exchange they took my leopard claw chain.
Since the day I had the umbrella, I never let anyone to touch and go closer to it because I thought that’ll ruin it’s astounding beauty.
Everyone of my village envied me because I had the most pretty blue umbrella and of course, it was the most expensive too. It was my good luck that those tourists gave me the umbrella in place of my chain, which was claimed as the lucky charm.
I always loved and nourished my umbrella so much, even I ran down the hills and climbed the tree to get it back as I never thought of abandoning my beautiful umbrella.
People may have thought that it was my obsession towards the umbrella but for me it’s my love for it as it deserved my love and care.
I hardly closed my pretty blue umbrella because it never looked beautiful after it was closed and I carried it open to wherever I would go.
Villagers often pretended to dislike my umbrella in front of me but I knew they really admired it secretly and want it. Ram Bharosha, the shop keeper was also the one who wanted my umbrella very badly. One day he called me and said – “Binya I’ll give you some rupees, will you give me your umbrella?”
But that cost wasn’t worth for my pretty umbrella so I refused to give him. Yet he was not the one to give up so easily, he gave bribe to his worker to steal it, but he failed.
After learning his evil intentions, villagers started disliking him and his shop started to see the customers very rarely, we can also say, he had no customers after that. This situation was really tough for him and he always looked dejected.
After that, I always closed my umbrella whenever I passed from his shop but seeing him disheartened and dejected, My heart panted with pain, after all it was all because of my umbrella he had to suffer a lot.
So I just decided to gift my umbrella to him and let his lips smile once again with much happiness and pleasure.
It was hard for me to sacrifice my umbrella but for the happiness of Ram Bharosha, I did it and pretended to forgot my umbrella in his shop. He ran after me and said – “Binya, you forgot your umbrella. Take it.” But I refused to take it back and handed it in his hands.
He again asked – “Do you not love it anymore?”
And I said – “I still love it but I don’t need it anymore”.
And gave my final goodbye to my umbrella forever.
As expected he was really happy to have the umbrella in his hand.
And the most beautiful part was, he didn’t kept it to him only rather he let everyone to use it whenever needed, and with this the beautiful blue umbrella belonged to everyone of the village.
Also, I got the price of my umbrella, the priceless and the precious gift.
One day, Ram Bharosha called me and gifted me the bear claw chain made especially for me by him.
I said – “But I don’t have any money” but he replied – ” It’s a gift to you, take it” And he put that chain in my neck.
I was so happy and delighted to see the chain and my sadness of not having my favourite blue umbrella all went away within a moment.
I guess, love and affection is all we need in order to lead a happy life. Neither obsession nor having of pretty things will lead us to a happy life. The more we give, the more we get.
