Sally began to cry when she saw that the umbrella was no longer there .The other passengers felt very sorry for her and asked what the matter was .She told them that the black umbrella she had bought for her mother was gone,and that she had to get out at the next station .After the three other passenge-rs heard it ,they asked her for her mother's address so that they could send the umbrella to her if someone had taken it by mistake ,and brought it back after Sally had got out of the train .
