Rome

Rome invariably wore a hat on his glossy, medium-length hair. He was proud of his hair. He always endeavoured to make others jealous.
One stormy day, Rome stepped outside. It was raining heavily.
"Fantastic," Rome thought, "I love rain."
He walked down the street and saw a man selling umbrellas for $7.
"No way," Rome said to himself, "I am not paying $7 for an umbrella."
Immediately, a gust of wind blew his hat off, exposing his bald head.
Feeling embarrassed, he muttered, "Hurry, take this $7 and give me an umbrella."
The man selling umbrellas smirked.
From that day on, Rome stayed humble.
