About this listen
As soon as Binya saw the beautiful blue silk umbrella, she wanted it. She wanted it so badly that she was willing to give her lucky leopard's claw pendant in exchange. No one in the village had such a fine umbrella, and everywhere Binya went the umbrella went, too. Gradually it faded to a pale blue and was patched in several places, but there were still many who envied Binya her treasured possession. And the most envious of them all was old Ram Bharosa, the shopkeeper who decided that by some means he must own the blue umbrella.

The Umbrella of course!
I liked the fact that the story in a simple way not only gave the insight about the way of life of people living in the mountains, but also a deep message about greed vs charity, forgiveness and friendship! in a beautiful short novel.
