Answers
Uskin bond gives an excellent work to this world in the form of The Blue Umbrella.
In this book, the author tells about the complete story of a young and charming girl in a village of Himachal Pradesh.
The name of a young girl is Binya.
It is also about the attractive blue umbrella.
Answer: Binya got the blue umbrella from a tourist who traded her tiger claw pendant. It was a pale milky blue colour wih several patches but it still was the prettiest umbrella in the hills. But Ram Bharosa tried to steal the umbrella. Because he tried to steal the umbrella , people stopped coming to his shop to buy soap,matches and tea instead they walked an extra mile to the Tehri shop. Children twisted his name from Ram Bharosa the Trustworthy to Trusty Umbrella Theif. He had no money and lost his appetite. She was sad and lonely. While Binya was passing through his shop she felt that she was somewhat responsible for Ram Bhorasa's misery. She asked Ram Bharosa to give her a toffee and she kept 10 paise on the counter. He looked suspiciously at the girl . Had she come to tease him or show off her umbrella at his face? It was a bad coin.He held the coin at the light, bit it and dropped it on the ground. It was perhaps a real coin. He gave her the toffee and she went away. He saw the umbrella lying on the counter. He took the umbrella trembling with his hands. He opened it. But it was dark. He realised that he never goes out in the sun and rain but is always under his roof. He ran and gave the umbrella to Binya but Binya refused. He said I dont want it but still she refused. She said an umbrella isn't everything. And went on her way tripping down the hills.
Explanation: Material things do not matter more than relationships. Binya established relationshp instead of greed and possesiveness.
