Inside the box, Sunee saw something uncommon. It was a red silk umbrella. She had never seen anything like it! "Shipping a package overseas used to take a lot of time," said Grandmother "Packages traveled by train and ship. It could take many months to get a package from across the ocean. How long did your package take to arrive?"

I sat down in the streetcar — and there against the seat was a beautiful silk umbrella with a silver handle inlaid with gold and necks of bright enamel.

You are just as likely to have one on the day after you have come into a large fortune as on the day after you have left your new silk umbrella in the train.
