Current Events: Boy Sells Enough Lemonade to Buy a Pony
                A 7 year old boy from Queensland Australia saved up his earnings from selling lemonade for two years, and eventually saved up enough to buy himself a pony. He managed to save up $2,285, and now he has a white pony named Tom Boy. The boy’s lemonade stand became a huge hit so he even had to bottle his lemonade in order to produce enough of it. Many people would donate lemons to him and sometimes people would even give him a hundred dollars to put towards his pony savings.
                I can’t believe that a 7 year old managed to save over 2000 dollars just by selling lemonade. He put hard work in to getting what he wanted, and he actually got it. Just comes to show that if you really put your mind towards something you can achieve what is thought to be nearly impossible.
