One umbrella

The umbrella works when they walk the same way, at the same speed.

Hi Aavya. Rain started suddenly at the school gate. Aavya had the umbrella. Aarav did not. He stood with his bag on his head. Aavya thought, if I walk fast I will reach home, and Aarav can follow. Why was that only half an idea? Because the rain was falling on both of them, and fast steps pull an umbrella to one side. Aavya took two quick steps and Aarav started to soak. Then Aavya stopped. Come on, put your shoulder here. They walked slowly. Room opened in the middle of the umbrella. Shoes got wet. Hair stayed dry. Aarav laughed, my bag does not have to be a hat anymore. Aavya, one umbrella covers two heads if the steps stay together.
