My daughter and I walked in quite heavy rain this afternoon. Waiting for it to stop was useless, the radar showed it would last for more than an hour. We were hardly out of the building when a woman offered us her umbrella. It had taken a beating from the weather, but, it was still functional, if you held it with two hands. She had almost reached her destiny.
We did not end up soaked to the bone, when reaching the bus-stop. The bus-ride would last long enough to end up home dry. So, at the bus-stop we offered the umbrella to yet another person. This lady happily ventured off in the rain, with a red cover over her head.
