The Blue Umbrella by Ruskin Bond is a story about the joy of giving and sharing happiness even in sad moments. Through Binya, Ruskin introduces a sense of kindness among children to get to know.
The story is about a simple village girl ,Binya who exchanges her lucky pendant for a blue umbrella which she sees with picknickers. She is from a poor family living with her mother and elder brother ,Bijju in a small hilly village. One day while hearing their cows back home she saw few city people enjoying their picnic. She was fascinated by their way of dressing but soon a blue umbrella catches her attention. On the other hand the city people get attracted by her beauty and the pendant consisting of leopards claw in her neck. Due to her at most desire she exchanges her pendant with the blue umbrella.
The blue umbrella is so beautiful that it soon became a topic of conversation among the villagers. They always feel to touch or hold it. Ram Bharosa who runs a small shop was so much envied by the umbrella that he decides to own it at any cost so he extends an offer to Binya which she immediately refused. He was disappointed by her refusal which made him appoint a loyal boy to steal the umbrella from Binya but the boy was caught by Bijju. When the boy reveals Ram Bharosa's name the villagers exclude him and stop purchasing from his shop. As a result Ram suffer loss.Binya feels sad about his condition and donates her umbrella to Ram. In return Ram gifts her pendant with a bear's claw which is considered even luckier than of leopards.
The story ends with the message that not everything you can get from desire. If you are truthful and always keeps a smile on your face everything will happen good and all problems will solve automatically.
