Umbrella – the things you used when it is raining so that you cannot be wet. Ok?

Umbrella is very important thing in life. You would die without umbrella in the rain. Okay? Umbrellas
and parasols are primarily hand-held portable devices sized for personal use. The largest hand-portable
umbrellas are golf umbrellas. Umbrellas can be divided into two categories: fully collapsible umbrellas,
in which the metal pole supporting the canopy retracts, making the umbrella small enough to fit in a
handbag, and non-collapsible umbrellas, in which the support pole cannot retract and only the canopy
can be collapsed. Another distinction can be made between manually operated umbrellas and spring-
loaded automatic umbrellas, which spring open at the press of a button.

And many of them doe carry other fine things of a far greater price, that will cost at the least a duckat,
which they commonly call in the Italian tongue umbrellas, that is, things which minister shadowve to
them for shelter against the scorching heate of the sunne. These are made of leather, something
answerable to the forme of a little cannopy, & hooped in the inside with divers little wooden hoopes
that extend the umbrella in a pretty large compasse. They are used especially by horsemen, who carry
them in their hands when they ride, fastening the end of the handle upon one of their thighs, and they
impart so large a shadow unto them, that it keepeth the heate of the sunne from the upper parts of
their bodies.[
