This is a story of Girl who went to feed her cows and found a beautiful blue umbrella which belongs to couple who came to her and ask will she trade her tiger claw with money but she demanded that Umbrella and they traded. Soon umbrella became talk of the town and Ram bharose who was a karyana shopowner want to get that beautiful umbrella as a price possession, But girl didn't agree to sell her at any price and one day shop-owner helper plan to steal for him in exchange of money but got caught and he spread rumour that it was shop-owner who want the umbrella.

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.
