On a rainy day, an honest man comes to a wizard for help looking for his lost umbrella. When presented with a gold, a silver, and an ordinary umbrella, the man picks his ordinary umbrella. After hearing the story, a greedy man comes to the wizard, pretending to have also lost an umbrella and scheming to bring a gold umbrella home. However, his plan backfires when the wizard learns of the truth. This fable teaches children that an honest man often gets more than he loses while a dishonest man gets nothing at all.
