The Blue Umbrella
We are in the city. A big city, Like New York or Chicago. The
streets are full of cars and the sidewalks are bustling with people.
Everyon e is in a rush. But then... it starts to rain. It is not your usual rain
though. it pours down like crazy.
A collective sigh goes through the crowd. And all the grumpy
people pull out their umbrellas. And hundreds of umbrellas pop up
everywh ere. But as we pan up we see that all th e umbrellas, they are alive,
and they are smiling and laughing and are happy. They are exited to
finally be out again.
And in the middle of them is a bright blue umbrella. He looks
around with him we see that it's not only the umbrella that are happy.
Everything in the city is made for rain is cheering. They all love the rain so
much that together they start to sing a song. Rooftops, gurgling rain pipes,
bus stop shelters... all together they sing a song to celebrate the rain.
And in
the middle of all of this the blue umbrella makes his w ay
through the crowd... but then suddenly... the bumps into something. He
turns around to see what he just has bumped into. And in front of him he
sees... a beautiful red umbrella. They stare look at each other, they are
completely smitten... it is love at first sight.
And the city's song, just like a Greek chorus... becomes a love song.
But then somewhere apedestrian light turns green. The crowd starts to
move. The two umbrellas, they get pushed farther and farther away from
each other. Desperate the blue umbrella struggles to get back to her By
using gust of wind, he pulls and pushes his owner. She tries the same.
The city follows their struggle and it's song pickup pace. By now
they are far far away from each other. Then her owner crosses with her to
the other side of a street. The blue umbrella tries to follow but he gets
yanked back by his owner. He nearly pulled his owner into the busy traffic.
Impatient he looks fo a gap in the traffic.
