Description
One day while following her cows in the hills, ten-year-old Binya pauses to watch some picnickers from the plains. Resting lightly on the grass near them is a beautiful blue umbrella, looking like a bright flower on the dry hillside. Binya is entranced, & the well-dressed woman who owns it is equally taken with the young girl's leopard-claw necklace. A deal is struck, & Binya becomes the envy of the village. Then, the owner of the local tea shop becomes obsessed with its beauty & believes he must have the umbrella for his own. A beguiling tale of a young girl's pure pleasure in her rare possession.
