16、 Greece, but it is believed that the first people in Europe to use the umbrella as protection against the rain were the ancient Romans.

Sometimes it appears, but most of the time it disappears in the quilt. If life is a quilt, then love is the thread. It can hardly be seen anywhere or at any time,
