My uncle has a very beautiful umbrella. He's had it for years. As he is very careful with it, so it still looks
as good as new. 1______ He shook his head. "Then how did you get it?" I asked. "Well," he answered,
"there's a strange true story about the umbrella. About ten years ago, I was walking along a quiet London
street one evening when it suddenly rained. I had no raincoat or umbrella. 2______ And the people in the
streets were fewer and fewer. As I was on my way to a party, I was afraid to get wet. So I stood in a
doorway and waited for the rain to stop. 3______ What was worse, there even wasn't a person around, and
still it rained and rained. At last a young man came to the place where I was standing. 4______ As I hoped he
would allow me to walk to the next corner with him, where I could get a taxi, I stepped out of the dark
doorway where I had been standing. 5______ As I suddenly appeared before him, the young man was so
shocked that he dropped the umbrella. He ran away and disappeared into the darkness. I picked up the
umbrella and continued my walk. I knew it would be hard in this big city to find the owner, so I've kept it
ever since."
