While Folding the Umbrellas

Grammar in this story

1 concepts

After the rain stops, more than thirty wet umbrellas are piled under the arcade.

As the noodle shop owner and the auntie next door keep folding them, they fall silent.

They once bought umbrellas together, but later argued because one green umbrella went missing.

As the auntie keeps wiping, she discovers an old receipt stuck inside the umbrella handle.

The receipt has no shop name, only both of their handwriting.

As the owner keeps looking, he remembers the umbrella was actually given to the mail carrier.

The two laugh and put the umbrellas back by the doorway one by one.

As they keep chatting, they decide they will still lend umbrellas to customers together when it rains.

When the last umbrella dries, the alley feels as if it has opened again.
