It is raining. The sky is gray. Carla goes to the market. She looks at the umbrellas. She likes a red umbrella.
It's very smart. It costs $10. Carla is a student. She doesn't have much money. I can give you $7 for that umbrella.
Okay, young lady. This is your lucky day. Give me $7. The umbrella is yours. This is my lucky day, says Carla.
She holds the red umbrella above her head. The rain falls on the umbrella. Carla goes to a cake shop. She wants to buy some cakes. Her little brother loves cakes.
She goes into the shop. She leaves her red umbrella near the door. It is quiet inside the shop. Carla chooses three small cakes. She talks to the shop assistant.
A customer is leaving the shop. She is a young woman. She is holding a cake box. Carla is going to leave the shop. But where is her umbrella?
There is one umbrella. There is one umbrella near the door. It is not a red umbrella. It is not Carla's umbrella. This umbrella is old and black.
It has a pattern of yellow ducks. It is not smart. Carla takes the umbrella. This is not my lucky day, Carla says. Carla walks to the town square.
A young man speaks to her. Hello, Elm as a young man says. He smiles. Carla does not know this young man. She walks away quickly.
The young man is following Carla. She walks into a crowd of people. The young man follows the black and yellow umbrella. Hello. Wait, a young man says.
Carla turns. She looks at the young man. She is angry. Go away, she said. The young man is sad.
Marissa, I'm sorry, he says. I'm very late. I'm not Marissa. Carla shouts. You are not Marisa.
Carla shouts, says the young man. He points at the black umbrella with yellow ducks. That's her umbrella. Osis Carla. Who is Marissa?
I don't know Marissa, says the young man. I'm going to meet her. We are going to have coffee. It is my cousin's idea. Marissa works with my cousin.
I am not Marisa, says Carla again. My cousin as is Carla again. My cousin has a photo of Marisa, says the young man. She's tall. You're tall.
Her hair is short and dark. Your hair is short and dark. In the photo she has an umbrella. It's a black umbrella with yellow ducks. You have a black umbrella with yellow ducks.
Carla looks up at the old umbrella. Marissa is a thief. She thinks she has my new red umbrella. Carla is angry again. Please don't be angry, says the young man.
He looks at his watch. It's 03:00. Marissa goes to work at 2.30. I can't meet her now. It's too late.
He smiles at Carla. Let's have coffee together, he says. Carla thinks for a moment. Oak, she says. Let's go to my aunt's cafe.
Young man smiles again. That will be great, he says. My name is Paul. I'm a law student. Third year.
A young man says, I'm Carla. I'm a student too. I'm studying science, carla says. Carla says. Carla sits in the cafe with Paul.
They drink coffee. They talk. They laugh and talk. Suddenly, Carla jumps up. Oh, no, she says.
It's late. I must go home. I must. Goody. I'm going to have an exam tomorrow.
Good luck. Will you meet me again? Paul says, yes. That will be nice, Carla says. It is almost dark.
The town square is quiet. Carla sees a tall young woman. The young woman has short dark hair. She has a smart umbrella. It is a red umbrella.
It is a red umbrella. The young woman is Marissa. Marissa sees the old black umbrella with yellow ducks. She is worried. Suddenly her face is red.
Don't worry, says Carla. Keep my red umbrella. I like this umbrella. I like this umbrella. It's a lucky umbrella.
This is my lucky day. The rain falls on the umbrellas. Carla smiles. Then she runs home. The Inn.
