The Boys Behind Lemonades
an open source story
by Yousef A. Mustafa (q8bkman)
Once upon a time in a far away land, there lived three children with different
visions of how the world should be. Even from an early age, their perspectives were
seen through their everyday lives. The first child was Billy, a silly little billy boy who
thought the world should be ran by capitalism. Even his diaper had a '$' sign on it.
When he made lemonade, he sold it for a buck, but kept his recipe and ingredients to
himself. Unfortunately, it always came out a little sour. Little billy never knew what
went wrong.
Then, there was another child neighboring Billy, his name was Steve. Little Stevy
was also a capitalist like his rival Billy, he too sold his lemonade for money. However,
Stevy had more in mind than just to make a little profit. He thought if he could make a
buck, why not two? That's when he started selling his lemonade for ten times what
Billy was asking. He too kept his recipe a secret. Sadly, there was also something
wrong with his lemonade, it always came out a little too sweet. Still the kids came and
bought from both of Billy and Stevy, making them the richest kids in the neighborhood.
Then, there was this little kid, who was the youngest of them all. He didn't like
Billy's lemonade because it was bitter, and he didn't enjoy Stevy's sweet rich lemonade
since it was too expensive and sweet. That's when he decided to make his own
lemonade. Like most children, he made it using everything available at home. So he
decided not to sell his lemonade, but share it with others. His idea was to share
everything he had, even his ingredients for making the lemonade. When kids said that
it didn't taste as good as Billy and Stevy's, he showed them his recipe and they helped
him fix it. With some changes, his lemonade was the best in no time. His name was
Linus.
Many of the neighborhood's kids went to Billy to buy lemonade. The snobby kids
went to Stevy, showing others that they had class and money to spend. Although many
kids stayed away from the free lemonade, Linus still had his faithful friends, one of
which was little Richy. Richy supported his friend's idea of sharing instead of selling.
Even at an early age, little Richy had a beard.
The lemonade business was just an example of who they were. From the daily
activities the three did, anyone could see who they really were inside. When being
invited to a party, the kids would put on a show in different rooms. Linus always
offered a free pass, and would always hold the door for his audience to come in.
Whereas Stevy would never miss such an opportunity; he would open the door a little,
and ask for payment first. Billy was a little clumsy. His glasses would always fall out of
place when he tried to run, holding onto his diaper. That's why they always closes the
door before he enters. Little Billy would often be sad at first, but then he notices that
they left a window open.

this truth needs to be "shared" with others, so that history can be accurate once again  |
