Cairo, a six-year-old dreamer with long black braids, faces a big problem when his friends set up competing lemonade stands. Despite the setbacks, Cairo learns the importance of courage and perseverance as he discovers a unique twist to make his lemonade stand a sweet success.
My name is Cairo, and I live in a place called Royal Oak Estates. I’m six years old and love to dream big. One day, I had an amazing dream about becoming super rich. Excited, I told my parents, and they suggested I start a lemonade stand. I was thrilled and told everyone in the neighborhood about my big plan.
The big day arrived, and my parents helped me set up my lemonade stand with bright yellow lemons and a shiny new pitcher. But when I looked around, my heart sank. There were two other lemonade stands in the neighborhood, run by kids I thought were my friends. I felt like the air had been knocked out of me.
Even though I was really disappointed, my parents encouraged me to go ahead with my plans. I set up my stand and managed to make five sales on my first day. It wasn’t the big success I had imagined. I couldn’t help but feel sad that my friends had become my competition. The excitement I had felt for weeks seemed to just fade away.
My parents noticed how down I was and tried to cheer me up with other ideas for making money. Nothing seemed to spark that same excitement. Then, one day, my dad suggested we go strawberry picking at the farm next to our neighborhood. He thought it would help take my mind off things, and I agreed to go.
As we picked strawberries, an idea popped into my head. I thought, ‘What if I made strawberry lemonade?’ I told my parents my new plan, and they loved it! We picked lots of strawberries, and when we got home, I experimented in the kitchen until I came up with a special strawberry lemonade recipe. The next day, we changed the sign on my stand to ‘Cairo’s Strawberry Lemonade Stand.’
And guess what? It was a sweet success! People loved my strawberry lemonade, and soon, I was the talk of Royal Oak Estates. My dream of becoming rich might still be a long way off, but I learned something even more important. When things don’t go as planned, sometimes all you need is a little twist to make them even better!
