The umbrella shop sold weather.
The red umbrella produced warm rain. The blue one released snowflakes. The yellow one created a small circle of sunlight, even in December.
I chose the clear umbrella at the back.
“What does this one do?” I asked.
The shopkeeper smiled. “It lets you see the storm without pretending it is not there.”
