Story Details

It’s sunny now, but I see my old umbrella. Its ribs are bent, its handle loose.

“Hmm... I can fix it!” I say. How hard can it be?

I twist one wire — boing! Now two more pop out!

I try tape. Then string. Then a heroic knot!

I open it slowly... POOF! A puff of dust!

Okay, new idea. Let’s make it different!

I add ribbons, draw stars, tie bells! Now it’s a shade hat!

I walk outside. Everyone laughs — me too!

Sometimes broken things just need a new idea.

I spin my new hat in the wind. Perfect!
