Kun Ya, Noi, and Ting work together in the jungle to create painted silk umbrellas. Kun Ya paints plants and animals on the umbrellas, and Noi and Ting help mix the paints. At the end of the day, Kun Ya asks Noi to paint a butterfly, and though Noi is anxious about the task, she does it successfully.

Kun Ya paints designs on silk umbrellas in the jungle, and her granddaughters, Noi and Ting, assist her. Kun Ya has painted an elephant on an umbrella, and Noi pretends the elephant is alive. After the umbrellas are dry, Noi and Ting close them up.

Kun Ya, Noi, and Ting spend all day painting silk umbrellas in a jungle clearing. Both girls usually mix the paints, and Noi sometimes paints leaves. Ting takes an umbrella featuring an elephant to hang it up to dry but then she starts to play with it, causing Noi to laugh.

Ting and her sister, Noi, often help their grandmother, Kun Ya, paint silk umbrellas. Noi watches Kun Ya paint the umbrellas and sometimes helps by painting leaves on them, and she enjoys the feeling of slick paint between her fingers. At the end of the day, Noi looks at the umbrellas in a basket and admires them.
