The umbrella man by Roald Dahl


This is a non-fiction story written by Roald Dahl, the famous British short story writer. The main characters are a strange but good-looking polite man, a middle aged woman and her twelve year-old daughter. The story takes place somewhere in the streets of London on a rainy day.

The woman and her daughter are walking in the street when a gentleman approaches them and asks them if they could lend him some money to pay for a taxi back home as he has forgotten his jacket with his wallet at his house. The man offers his umbrella in exchange for the money, which the woman accepts although she feels suspicious. Immediately after that, the man runs away. Where is he going? What is he going to do with the money?

Many of Roald Dahl stories are related to robberies or situations like this, like the hitchhiker, for instance. Both are well written in a clever way.

This is a very interesting story and I recommend it to everyone. You will surely have a great time reading it and it doesn’t get boring at any time. Some of the characters are mysterious and weird, so this creates a feeling of suspense which is something not many writers can truly depict.

May it be for personal or gift-giving purposes, buying
a pearl necklace is something not to be shrugged upon, considering that
its popularity has paved the way for pearl frauds and shenanigans to become
widespread and rampant. The gift of a pink pearl can leave a wonderful
impression of delight and happiness in someone.

Have your necklace design embrace your creation with carefully chosen color and balance.
