Money-maker

Brennan decided to try his hand at business. On Friday night he built a lemonade stand out of an old box, and when he realized there would be a big "garage-sale" on Saturday for all the graduating Vet. students, he was determined to get out there and sell his lemonade. It was a great idea- it was hot and there was a lot of cash flow already going on. And it turns out people like buying things from children. In the end, he came away with $226. E.C. ($84.U.S.) and he paid Damon $5. for carrying the money bag and Payton $20. for walking around and telling people to come over. I wonder if the Branch President was laughing on Sunday when Damon paid his 10% tithing on his $5. E.C.- which came out to 18 cents in U.S. dollars. Now Payton is determined to sell cookies the next time and bring in some dough of her own. (FYI in case you are wondering- the lemonade sold for $2. E.C. which equals 75 cents U.S.)

Good job! During the hot summers in Arizona, I sold lemonade on hour corner with my sisters for 10 cents, when I was about your same age.
