A Present

Sally had been studied at an art college for a year and, like most students, she didn’t have much money. It was going to be her mother’s birthday soon, and she wondered what she could buy her as a present that would be nice and useful but not too expensive.

Sally’s college was in London, but she had been living in the country for many years and every day she had an hour’s journey by train in the morning and the same in the evening.

At lunch time one day, a week before her mother’s birthday, she decided to have a cup of coffee and a sandwich instead of her usual meal in the college hall, and then went shopping near her college to try to find her mother a nice present. When she had been looking for half an hour, she came across a shop that was selling umbrellas cheap. She decided that one of those would solve her problem, since her had lost hers a month before.

“Now which colour shall I choose?” she thought. “Well, I think a black one would be the most useful. You can carry that when you are wearing clothes of any colour, don’t you?” So having made up her mind, she bought a lovely black umbrella and took it back to the college until her classes had finished.

On her way back home in the train she felt hungry so she went to the bar for another sandwich and a cup of coffee. She had left her black umbrella above the seat in the compartment, but when she got back it had gone! When she had left the compartment there had been no other passengers in it, but now there were three.

Sally burst into tears when she saw that the umbrella was no longer there. The passengers felt very sorry for her and asked what the matter was. When she explained that the black umbrella she had bought for her mother had disappeared. The three other passengers asked for her mother’s address in order to be able to send the umbrella on to her in case someone had removed it by mistake, and brought it back after Sally had got out of the train.

The next week Sally heard from her mother. Her letter said: “Thank you very much for your lovely presents, but why did you send three black umbrellas?”
