Everyday the boy goes outside his house to play. He loves walking around town and meeting his neighbors. The child goes around town looking at toys that he wants. His dad always buys the toys when the boy asks him. 

    One day he decided to ask his dad earlier in the morning to go walk around town. The boy felt that today was going to be different....    

Lets go!!

Dad I want to go outside!!

     Now the boy and his father left the house and were walking the streets of town. The son sees a bear on a stand. The boy said, "I want that toy bear!" The dad then says, "You have to earn it son." The boy asked the seller, "How much is that bear?" The seller then says, "It will cost $10 to buy this bear." The boy decided that he will sell lemonade to his neighbors to buy that toy bear.

You have to earn it.

Dad I want this toy!

Bear for sale!!

    In the morning now, the boy leaves his home to sell lemonade in the town. The child then meets a Christian man who says to him, "Love everyone and your neighbors and be friendly to strangers." ("Hebrews 13:1-2"). The boy asked the man, "What does this mean?" This man then buys one lemonade and leaves the stand without saying anything else. The child yells, "Thank you sir!"

Lemonade for only 25¢

Hello! Hmm

Love everyone and your neighbors and be friendly to strangers.

Hmm??...

What should I do? Maybe I should be kind to others.

    The boy now started to question what he was going to do with his lemonade stand. He says to himself, "What should I do with all this lemonade?" He wants to sell this lemonade but also wants to share it with everyone. He then sees this Buddhist neighbor walking up to his stand. Who looks like he wants to buy some lemonade from him....

Lemonade!! Only 25¢!

I'm so thirsty!

    The Buddhist man then walks up to the stand saying, "I am so thirsty and tired." The man then buys some lemonade from the boy. The boy says, "Thank you so much!" But before he leaves he tells the boy, "Show kindness towards others and be careful of your wants." ("Buddha's Eightfold Noble Path"). Now the boy asks himself what he should do.

I would like one please!

25¢ please!

    The boy now is starting to really think about what he is going to do with all his lemonade. He asks himself if he should give all this lemonade away for free. The child then decides he will give all the lemonade away. So he yells saying, "Free lemonade for everyone!" Now all his neighbors are coming to the stand asking, "May I have one please?" The child says to the people, "Of course please come up one at a time."

Free Lemonade!

Wow!

Tastes good!

Tasty!

    One of the people that the boy gave lemonade to believed in Hinduism. She said to the boy, "The good acts you have done will be returned to you." (Hindu American Foundation). The kid said to the lady, "What does that mean?" But the lady just leaves with the boy being very confused. He asks himself again, "What is going to happen soon?"

No more lemonade!

Good things will happen to you.
