Children may seem naughty, harmful, moody. Nevertheless, they all notice, learn many things from adults. For example, to spread love and care through words and actions. A woman named Eileen was convinced of this from her own experience when her daughter wanted to sell lemonade to feed the police, firefighters and the mayor of the city. That's what came out of it.
Sell-out
Last summer, when Eileen Gabby's daughter was three years old, she took part in her first yard sale. The essence of this event is as follows: each person can take out unnecessary things and put them up for sale. It turns out something like a commission. By the way, the neighbors are very willing to buy things from each other. That which is not necessary for one can be very useful in the economy of another. If you do not want, you can not take part. Everything is at will here, no one forces anyone.
So Eileen asked her daughter if she would like to sell something. All the proceeds will belong to her: she can put them in a piggy bank or spend at her discretion. Gabby was inspired and decided to sell the Elmo doll. However, already at the sale, the baby suddenly announced that she wanted to give the toy to the policeman. She saw that he works alone, therefore needs a company. With Elmo, he will be much more fun!
Best friends
In general, as a girl wanted, a doll was presented to a policeman. True, the next day he came to their house with the mayor of the city to return the Gabby toy. Elmo solemnly dressed up in police uniforms and even made a certificate for him from the Police Academy.
Since then, Gabby considered the mayor of the city, police and firefighters to be her friends. She even invited them to celebrate their fourth birthday. On a solemn day, the girl was driven in a fire truck, and the mayor even allowed him to sit in a chair in his office. Gabby was very happy with such gifts.
Charity Event
And now the next sale was near. As usual, Eileen asked her daughter if she wanted to sell anything. The little girl, after a little reflection, said that she wants to sell lemonade, and she will spend all the proceeds on paying lunch to the police, firefighters and the mayor. After all, they work so hard that they don’t have time to even eat. Mom smiled and supported the baby’s initiative.
And so the parents set up a kiosk with lemonade. Gabby personally sold a tasty drink and earned almost $ 1,000 (six thousand rubles) per day.By the way, she didn’t just stand and sell lemonade, but she waved to all passing cars, invited passers-by, and even informed all friends and acquaintances so that they also took part in a charity event.
In the same month, mom took her daughter to a meeting of the board of directors so that she could provide the mayor with earnings and order lunch at her own expense. True, at the meeting, Gabby was very embarrassed, so Eileen had to speak. All present thanked the girl and applauded her. Well, thanked the wise mother for a good upbringing. At the end of the meeting, Gabby was photographed with the mayor and other employees.
