Bobby grinned when he arrived at camp on Friday.
All the campers, including Mr. Dunn, were wearing their tie-dyed T-shirts.
"We look like a team!" Bobby said.
"Why did you ask us to wear the T-shirts today?" Bobby asked Mr. Dunn.
"Because today we are going to be a team," Mr. Dunn said.
"A business team."
"Remember the lemonade we made a few weeks ago?" Mr. Dunn asked.
"Of course! It was sooo good," Izzie said.
"Bobby said it was good enough to sell," Mr. Dunn said.
"Today we'll try selling it," Mr. Dunn said.
"We're having a lemonade stand?" Nina cried.
"Yep. So we'll need half our team to make the lemonade.
The other half can paint signs and set up the table," said Mr. Dunn.
Izzie, Nina, and Ethan agreed to make the signs.
Bobby and Jason said they would make the lemonade.
"Everyone is going to love this lemonade," Bobby said to Jason.
"We're going to be rich!"
Jason rolled his eyes.
"Um, I don't think we're going to be rich, Bobby.
How much is one cup?
Probably just a few cents."
"No way!" Bobby said.
"It should be at least two dollars."
The boys spent two hours making pitchers of lemonade.
Then they brought a cooler of ice outside.
The girls and Ethan had made huge signs that said:
"Sweet Iced Lemonade, Just 25¢."
There were two tables, chairs, a money box, and paper cups.
"Just twenty-five cents?
Is that a joke?" Bobby cried.
"No," Izzie said.
"It's a fair price to attract customers."
And the kids didn't have to wait long for their first customer.
Soon a woman came running toward them!
It was Ms. Folani! "Hi, everybody.
I was jogging when I saw your sign.
Lemonade sounds great right now," the principal said.
Nina poured her a cup.
Bobby added the ice cubes.
Ethan put her dollar in the money box and gave her change.
Ms. Folani gulped down her cup.
"This is delicious. Thanks!
See you in September!"
She jogged back down the road.
By the end of the day, there was only one cup of lemonade left.
And the lemonade stand had made $10.00!
"We should have charged more," Bobby grumbled.
"We'll each only get two dollars!"
Suddenly a familiar voice said, "It looks like the lemonade stand was a hit!"
It was Allison from Penny's Dog Shelter.
Allison smiled. "I stopped by to say thank you."
"Thank you for what?" Bobby asked.
Mr. Dunn coughed. "Actually I haven't told them about the donation yet.
I wanted to make sure we made enough money."
"Donation?" Bobby repeated.
"To Penny's?" Jason asked excitedly.
"That's such a great idea, Mr. Dunn!"
Mr. Dunn nodded.
"We can donate the money as long as it's okay with all of you," he said.
Everyone looked at Bobby.
Bobby smiled at the rest of the team.
"Of course it's okay."
He looked at Mr. Dunn.
"But we still should have raised the price!"
