Last summer, on a hot day, I was driving down a road in my neighborhood, when I spotted a lemonade stand. Two younster entrepeneurs, brother and sister, were open for business. I pulled over, and noticed they were selling both lemonade and iced tea. They smiled brightly as I walked up, and excitedly proclaimed, "We have lemonade or iced tea!, How can we help you?", very professionaly. I said, "Hmmm, I'd really like a glass of half lemonade and half iced tea". Apparantly unaware of this possibility, they spun their faces towards each other, eyebrows raised, eyes wide open, and a mix of horror and wondering on their face. With out speaking to each other, they spun back to me and said "Can you wait a minute, Mr.?", and ran off to the house to ask their mom if such a request was possible. They came back, big smiles, and very carefully poured out a glass half full of each drink. "That will be 25cents, please", indicating they wanted the quarter before they would deliver the goods. I said I wanted to taste it first, they didn't hesitate and said ok. I drank it down, told them how good it was - it really was! - and gave then a quarter. I slapped them a high five for thanks. Then I asked for another. Again they spun towards each other, no words, but priceless expressions. They mixed me another, and passed it to me, watching in anticipation, with out asking for payment this time. I drank it, smiled with a thumbs up. I gave them a mere dollar, and said thanks, great drink! Walking to my car, I caught them high 5-ing each other, then running to the house to report to their mom, smiling and giggling the whole way. Life is reciprical like that.
