Lawrence was sweeping up the trimmings at the barbershop When he saw knew right away that he would be taking his little cousins. They loved animals and Lawrence was
looking forward to seeing the smiles on their faces. This trip was going to cost him though, and
sweeping up hair clippings didn't pay a whole lot. Yet he saved until he had the 45 dollars to get the
tickets. When he saw his cousins' faces, the price seemed like a bargain. Soon they walked into that
big circus tent. This was the first time that Lawrence realized that he and his cousins would be thirsty
and hungry. As they sat in their seats, the drink vendor walked by selling beverages. Desperately
thirsty, Lawrence asked how much a lemonade would cost. The drink vendor said, "Eleven dollars
each." Lawrence replied, "Oh, that's it? Just eleven dollars? What a great deal for one cup of
lemonade." The drink vendor walked away.
