To us, it seems so natural to put up an umbrella to keep the water off when it rains. But in fact the
umbrella was not invented as protection against the rain. Its first use was as a shade(遮蔽)
against the sun.
Nobody knows who first invented it, but the umbrella was used in very ancient times. Probably the first to use it were the Chinese, back in the eleventh century BC.
We know that the umbrella was used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sunshade. And
there was a strange thing connected with its use : it became a symbol of honor and power(权力).
In the Far East in ancient times, the umbrella was allowed to be used only by those in high office or by royal people such as the kings or queens.
In Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade. The umbrella was in
common use in ancient Greece, but it is believed that the first people in Europe to use the
umbrella as protection against the rain were the ancient Romans. During the middle ages in
Europe, the use of the umbrella almost disappeared. Then it appeared again in Italy in the
late sixteenth century.

74 , they didn't stop to have a rest. We were deeply moved when we saw this.
Just at that moment, we saw 75 little boy standing alone and crying. We went over and asked what 76 to him. From his answer we knew that he couldn't find his mother. We told him not to
