Question

what truth did the mother and daughter learn? (The umbrellaman)​

Answer 1

please give me thanks

The mother and daughter learn they have both been deceived about the little old man with the umbrella.

The man's deception of the woman is rather cleverly accomplished: He tells the narrator's mother that he has forgotten his wallet and he needs the fare for a taxi because he has walked too far and his "old legs" are tired. He offers to sell his twenty-pound umbrella for just one pound for the taxi-fare.

Answer 2

The truth that the mother and daughter learnt was that we should never believe in strangers even though they wear a good outfit.

Hope my answer helped you

Thank You
