Why umbrella?????

When the sun shines, we'll shine together
Told you I'll be here forever
Said I'll always be a friend
Took an oath, I'ma stick it out till the end

Now that it's raining more than ever
Know that we'll still have each other

You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella

This is part of umbrella's song,the singer is Rihanna...why must umbrella????actually,umbrella also important in our daily life...


Johnson describes it as "a screen used in hot countries to keep off the sun, and in others to bear off the rain;" and Kersey many years before (1708) had described it as "a kind of broad fan or screen, commonly used by women to shelter them from rain; also a wooden frame, covered with cloth, to keep off the sun from a window." Phillips in his New World of Words, edit. 1720, describes the umbrella as "now commonly used by women to shelter them from rain."
