The more the kids explored, the more they realized they had been completely wrong about the old woman. Saddened by how they had misunderstood her, the neighborhood kids felt a deep sense of regret. Moved by her story, they decided to help. Together, they planned a lemonade stand for the summer, with all the profits going to the old woman to help her fix up her shed and pay for her hospital bill.
James and his friends worked hard, setting up the stand every weekend, pouring lemonade, and spreading the word. It wasn’t long before their efforts paid off. The money they raised allowed the woman to get the repairs she needed and the amenities she had been missing. The kids felt proud, knowing they were making a difference.
