umbrella shop
Once upon a time there was an old man who lived in a small town. In this small town, there was a quaint shop, with a tiny apartment above it. From this quaint shop umbrellas were sold. In the tiny apartment on top, an old man lived. Where the man lived was where the man made his umbrellas. His umbrellas were bought by travellers.
These travelers would come through the small town and see the quaint shop with the tiny apartment above it, and somehow always went in and bought an umbrella. When they bought an umbrella, during their travels it rained. It would rain and pour and storm even if it was sunny before.
On one sunny day, before it stormed, a young traveler was passing through this small town. In the midst of the town he came across the quaint shop where the old man was selling umbrellas.
"Umbrellas for sale!" The old man called out as the traveler passed, "Sir, come buy your umbrella!"
As the traveler passed, he came to a stop, intrigued. "Why would I need it? It is sunny outside."
"Why try to be smart when you can be safe traveler?" replied the old man.
The traveler laughed and continued walking again, calling over his shoulder, "I've never needed an umbrella before, I don't think I ever will!"
As he continued walking on his journey, for the first time, it did not rain, it did not pour, and it did not storm, but rather the sun stayed bright and warm for his entire journey and the traveler never again thought about the old man selling umbrellas in a quaint shop with a tiny apartment above it, in a small town.
