Mom Wasn’t Prepared For What A Stranger Did A Week After A 5-year-old Offered Him A Kool-Aid Drink For Free

Little Extra Fun

Kool-Aid wasn’t just to earn a little extra money but to have a little extra fun. After all, staying out of the house is the absolute definition of fun for most of the kids. On top of everything, his mother was quite certain that this will teach him a few lessons of money management which is no doubt a necessary thing to learn for a happy life. Well, both Adam and his mother were going to learn more than just money management.

Heatwave

It was a good idea to do something like this but it is also too common. Kids usually put lemonade stalls like Adam’s and for passers-by, it’s a satisfying treat to see these little kids offering chilled lemonade on a hot summer afternoon. Krista, his mother thought it will be just like other kid’s experience; a summer vacation spent serving Kool-Aid. But there was more to happen. 

Business Wasn’t Working Well

Lemonade stalls are popular among kids of Adam’s age. So far, Adam was doing a great job but there were not many customers turning up on his stall. Even after a week, Adam was hardly able to collect a few bucks. Seeing her boy working so passionately, Krista came up with an idea that was intended to help Adam. 

Spreading The Word

In an attempt to help her son, Krista told her friends about Adam’s stall hoping that they’ll visit the stall and help in encouraging her son’s entrepreneurial venture. But very less actually showed up. Even though she could sense that Adam was a little disappointed about the whole thing there was something that made her really proud.

Not Giving Up

Adam was disappointed but he told his mom that he enjoyed putting up the stall anyway. He was a cheerful kid who always looked at the brighter side of the things. While that’s one good habit for sure, it also concerned Krista a lot. Adam’s innocence could be easily exploited in this world and that’s why Krista always tried to stay with him until he gets smart enough. But one moment of absence will be enough to increase her fear for her son’s welfare.

Not So Fine Day

It happened during the second week of his summer vacations that something other than regular was going to happen. Like always, he kept his stool and put up a shed, and his chair and sat. On the main door was Krista looking after her son. It was past 12 in the noon; the hottest hours. Krista told her son that she’ll be back in a moment and went inside, leaving Adam alone.
