this question is from the umbrella man
In “The Umbrella Man” by Roald Dahl, the narrator’s 34 year old mother has taken her twelve-year-old daughter to the dentist. The two did not have an umbrella with them so the girl’s mother suggests they get a taxi back home. An old man then comes up to the mother. He asks for a small favor:
Forgetting his wallet, he had no money. Would she exchange his silk umbrella for a pound for his taxi-fare?
At first, the woman suspiciously hesitates. Thinking it over carefully and quizzing the man thoroughly, in the end, she capitulates and accepts the “deal.” The girl narrator sympathizes most with the man.
