Stories of Kindness from Around the World

Lemonade Kindness


--by cabbage, posted Oct 11, 2018
The children down the street were having a lemonade stand; I bought a cup from them and asked if the lemons were from their tree. Their response was, "We don't have a lemon tree." I asked them to hang on a second.

I went to my backyard and picked a whole bunch of lemons and brought them over to the children. The smiles on their faces were huge, as was their gratitude for this stranger, who just gifted them lemons for their stand! They kept offering me "free lemonade and cookies" to thank me, but I just smiled and wished them well. It felt so great to be able to do this, and the looks on their faces were priceless.

Going extra mile by gifting them lemons will make kids think of kindness and not only the business - money paid for lemonade. You already planted seeds of kindness in the hearts of kids that will give fruits of kindness. Thanks for sharing.
