WHAT IS THE MORAL OF THE
STORY THE BLUE UMBRELLA?
I personally felt that the main theme of the story is to keep
others happy by doling out the things that you love most. It
is tough to renounce the things that we love. In this novel,
the lead character is Binya – a small girl from hills. ...
The Blue Umbrella is a very short novel by Ruskin Bond.
SUMMARY
In a small village called Garhwal, there lived a little girl, Binya. In the village, the
shopkeeper, Ram Bharosa keeps an old useless shop and sells warm Coca-Cola bottles
and sweets to the school going kids. A beautiful blue umbrella has been given to Binya by
some foreigners on a picnic in the hills in exchange for her leopard claw pendant. The
people in her village has become very fond of her umbrella. Soon the shopkeeper
becomes jealous and tries to buy it from Binya by telling her that "this is a fancy umbrella
which small girls should not have", but Binya refuses to give her umbrella and says that,
"This is not for sale." As time passes , Ram Bharosa's feeling to get the umbrella turns in
to an obsession. The school had been closed due to the arrival of the monsoon and Ram
Bharosa employs a boy named Rajaram from the next village to work at the shop. When
he comes to know about his master's desire to own the umbrella he makes an attempt to
steal the umbrella, but Rajaram fails and gets caught, he then gives Ram Bharosa's
name. Now everyone stopped coming to Ram Bharosa's shop. Ram Bharosa had got a
bear necklace and he coated it with silver. However, Binya realizes her mistake that she
shouldn't have shown off her umbrella as it was the cause for Ram Bharosas suffering .
Finally, at the end, Binya gives the umbrella to Ram Bharosa, who gifts her a necklace
with a bear's claw. Since then, Ram Bharosa started keeping the umbrella for anyone to
borrow and people again began to visit his shop.
