The answer is…
An Umbrella!
Umbrellas are wonderful objects that we use to protect ourselves from rain. When the water comes down from the sky, we can open up an umbrella, and it goes up to create a shelter above us. Umbrellas have a canopy made of waterproof material that keeps us dry even during a downpour. They come in different colors and designs, making rainy days a little more cheerful.
