Morty was checking out his library books when it caught his eye—a poster for Adventure Rocks Kids

Camp. “Check this out!” Morty called to Ben and Fred as he grabbed three brochures and dashed to catch

up with his best buddies. They all stopped, books in hands, to stare at the pictures of kids flying above

canyons suspended from zip lines. They instantly believed the brochure s headline: Summer won t be

complete until you Take it to the Limit at Adventure Rocks Kids Camp.

Ben broke the silence, “We have less than two weeks until registration opens, and it says the camp

fills up fast. ” Then an idea popped into Morty s head. “Why don t we sell lemonade and snacks by the

side of the road? We can pool our allowance savings for the camp. ” “That s a great idea,” Ben said.

The sun had barely come up on Saturday morning when the kids set up their business. They chose a

spot, and asked permission from the homeowner to use her garden hose for water to make lemonade.

Their business went smoothly until Ben announced that they had a comparatively small stock of lemons

shortly after noon. Morty decided to make their stock go further. “Fred, when the jug gets down to one-

fourth full, just fill it to the top with the water hose. ” Morty was thinking out loud, “I ll change the sign

and charge 30 more cents for each cup of lemonade. ” Their business went on and the three were secretly

proud of the little tricks they had done.

Just as Morty finished refilling the jug with water for the third time, a vehicle rounded the corner.

Morty saw the minivan with his father at the wheel and his family inside. They pulled up to the sidewalk,

and his brothers and sisters jumped out, each clutching a coin or two. They were eager to support their

brother s bustling business. Morty s family bought the last of the brownies and drank the last drop of

watered-down lemonade. (湖南省邵阳市 2023 届高三第二次模拟考试)
