Chloe was 83 years old and lived by the ocean shore in a big beautiful house. She wished her son Steve would visit her, even if for only a day. Of course, the young man had a family of his own now, a darling little daughter Eva, and a business to take care of. Steve got on video calls with Chloe every other day. However, Chloe thought of her son and granddaughter, wishing she was with them. One day, Chloe heard sounds from the neighboring house. Chloe looked through the window and was delighted to see that she had new neighbors.

One morning, when Chloe woke up and walked along the shore, she heard the sounds of water being splashed and the sound of children laughing wildly. She followed the sound and was concerned on finding the twins from the neighboring house standing knee deep in ocean water. Something didn’t feel right. “Why would anyone leave their kids unattended on the shore?” Chloe thought. She grabbed the kids’ hands and walked them to their home. As Chloe opened the door, she found the young mother lying unconscious on the kitchen floor. Chloe didn’t waste a second in calling 911.

I always believe in the saying: Things will eventually sort themselves out. In the face of difficulty and trouble, I can always persuade myself to do my work first without enough conditions.

Yesterday, we just moved into a new house and spent all our money. So we had to go through the rest of the month until my husband got paid.

Today, my daughter, Laurie, went to school. After a while, out-of-breath and tired, our little girl ran back a block because she’d forgotten to tell me that it was her turn to bring cupcakes for the class-—today! I answered her with a promise to reach her classroom at noon with the cupcakes. She ran to school again, happy.

Two minutes later, imagining Laurie’s trusting smile when I delivered on the promise, I searched in the boxes for baking tins and the mixer. I confidently set them on the counter and then opened the refrigerator, only to discover there were no eggs! How would I make cupcakes withouteggs?

I tried to figure out how I could fix the problem. Could I borrow some from neighbors or friends? Could I buy some on credit(赊账)? It was almost 9: 30 and I was running out of time. A little voice inside me whispered, “Start to do your work first! Things will eventually sort themselves out.” “Okay,” I said to myself, “I have to try my best to keep my word to my little girl and the worst result that might happen is that I bake ‘cakes’ with no eggs.”

The next step was an act of faith. I turned on the oven and measured all the materials as my little son lined the tins with paper cups. We’d just finished making the frosting(糖霜) when I heard the mailman close the box at the front door. Of course! The mailman could send us a refund (退款) check or something in the mail! I rushed to the door to get the mail and was shocked by what I found.

8 . On a hot summer day in 2017, 9-year-old Hayli Martenez set up a lemonade stand outside her home in Kankakee, Illinois. She thought it would be a great way to earn money for college. Hayli’s lemonade stand was a success. In June 2019, a local newspaper wrote an article about her.

But the news coverage turned out to be bad for Hayli’s business. Officials from the local health department soon demanded that she shut it down. They said Hayli needed a permit for her lemonade stand and that it didn’t meet health code requirements. Although Hayli thought it was unfair to prevent a kid from selling lemonade in her front yard, she had no choice but to stop.

News of Hayli’s shutdown spread and caught the attention of an official in the county government. Inspired by Hayli’s story, he came up with a bill, which would make it easier for kids to run lemonade stands. He invited Hayli to speak in support of the bill to a committee of state senators (参议员) in March 2021.

Although Hayli was excited to get the chance to tell her story, she was worried about addressing the group of senators. She was jittery at first. Her voice started to shake and she talked too fast, running out of breath. But Hayli quickly gained confidence when she remembered who she was there to represent.

Hayli’s speech was convincing, and the bill eventually passed. Last July, the bill came into law. Hayli’s Law officially went into effect on January I of this year. It allows kids under 16 in Illinois to sell lemonade and other drinks without a permit. Hayli was back in business and sold her lemonade again this summer. Hayli hopes her experience and the law that was passed in her honor will encourage other young people not to let anyone stop their dreams.
