被还回来的雨伞

As rainy season is almost ending, a very old blue umbrella appears at the noodle shop door.

The owner laughs as soon as he sees it, because the umbrella was taken by a customer three months ago.

The umbrella canopy has been patched with a piece of green cloth, and a row of little stitches has been added along the edge.

A blank sticker has been placed on the handle, but there is no name on it.

The auntie next door recognizes it and says the umbrella was once borrowed by the mail carrier to deliver letters.

The manager also says it was taken by children to block a very heavy rain.

The owner wants to put the umbrella away, but discovers a photo tucked inside the umbrella sleeve.

In the photo, the umbrella is being held by different people, and everyone is smiling in the same rain.

The owner puts the umbrella back by the door and says it was not merely returned; it finally came home.
