Review
The umbrella man.
The umbrella man is both a funny as well as an interesting story written by Roald Dahl, the famous British short story writer. The main characters are a good-looking gentleman, a middle aged woman and her twelve-year-old daughter. It’s set on the streets of London on a rainy day.
The story is about a small , well-dressed polite man who asks a woman if she can give him some money to pay for the taxi back home because he has left his money in his other jacket. When the woman gives him a bank note, this man offers her an umbrella in exchange for the money but, surprisingly, he starts running away. the woman and her daughter feel suspicious, so they follow him.
The author writes in a clever appealing way and most of these stories are related to robberies or situations like this.
I would recommend Roald Dahl´s ”The Umbrella man” if you like funny stories that are related to petit crime.
