Did you ever do a part-time job in your spare time? Many of us did, but Jack did much better.
Jack is a patient at Toronto's Sick Kids. The little boy has a form of epilepsy (癫痫). The
disease makes him take 19 pills a day and follow a strict diet. He cannot eat foods like cookies,
candies or birthday cakes that most little kids love to eat.
This is the second year that Jack has raised money for the hospital by operating a lemonade
stand (货摊) that he built with his dad. The whole town seemed to turn up to show their
support, and more than l,000 people came to the lemonade stand in front of his home. Last year
Jack brought in over 14,000 dollars. That was not bad for a four-year-old boy.
On May 3, he set his lemonade stand outside a supermarket. His lemonade stand was an
attractive sight there. The stand helped to keep customers cool when they went shopping.
"Although he is ill, Jack is determined to make lemonade and work at his lemonade stand for a period of time every year to help his friends at Sick Kids," his mother said with a proud
look.
Jack recently received the "Kids Believe in Sick Kids Spirit Award" and is an ambassador
(大使) for the hospital, where he is a regular patient.
