A generous customer shocked some kids at a lemonade stand with his kind gesture. The guy did something the children did not see coming. Watch the short but sweet clip to see what the customer did that left the children amazed and completely dumbfounded.
At some point during their childhood, nearly every kid tries their hand at entrepreneurship. They get the itch to make some cash, work for themselves and go into business, usually with their best friend. Of course, the business they start is always a lemonade stand. Some of those stands are more successful than others, but regardless of the results, they still require effort, initiative and ambition and we should be encouraging and supportive of that.
Typically, children want to buy something and see a lemonade stand as a way to obtain the money to make that purchase possible. That line of thinking makes sense, right? That’s what we all do every day when we go to work. We know we need this or that, and so we continue to go to work even when we might want to be anywhere else but in the office. In a clip posted on YouTube, a couple of entrepreneurial-minded kids were surprised by a generous customer as he dropped a sizable tip.
The video begins with the customer pulling up to the youngsters selling lemonade. He tells the kids that he would appreciate a glass of their ice-cold beverage and then asks what they intend to do with the money they make from their stand.
“What are you guys raising the money for?” the customer asks.
“He’s trying to buy a new e-bike,” one of the kids answered.
The customer seemed completely taken aback by the fact that one of the children was helping his buddy raise money so that he could get a new bike. After learning how much they needed, the customer responded in a way that neither of them expected: He gave the kids $500!
The kids could not believe it and were grateful for the generous gift.
