Soon shop-owner loose reputation and business with make girl guilty and she decides to help him and she gift it to him and few days later shop-owner was much better as due to umbrella he decided to went out in nature to walk and strole and one day he found a bear claw and want to give it to girl for kindness to share the umbrella for free with him, because according to some regional myth bear claws are more lucky then tiger's claws

The story is of human relationships, human attachment to materialistic things , love for nature, greed and power abuse and rumours that hurts one business.

A simple story yet leave a great impact after the story ends. This story about a small village girl who by different turns of events received a great blue umbrella which became her only object of affection. The best part of the story is how realistic it feels. Though this is a children's book... I think adults will enjoy it equally.
