Umbrella

One day a baby elephant found a colourful umbrella.

He rushed to his grandma and showed her the umbrella.

He looked at his grandma and said,

“Why do people use an umbrella?”

Grandma felt a little confused.

‘Where did he get this funny thing?’ she mused.

Then she answered in a voice sweet and soft,

“Whenever it rains at night or in the day,

Men use umbrella to keep the rain away.

They are so scared of getting wet,

It makes them sneezy and sick, I bet.”

Baby elephant thought it was funny,

“How can anyone be scared of rain?

How can anyone get sick in rain?

I love the raindrops, all and one,

Getting wet in rain is such a fun.

I don’t think I need an umbrella.”

And he flung away the colourful umbrella.
