Jenna and her sister Ann peered out the window at the lemonade stand sitting vacant by the street. It had been raining for two days, and the weather forecast just predicted more wet weather. The girls had planned to earn money to buy tickets for the amusement park, but they couldn’t sell lemonade in the rain.
Ann counted up their money and calculated that the sisters needed ten more dollars to afford their tickets. She wondered if there was a way the girls could still earn the money, despite the rain.
Jenna thought about it. They couldn’t offer to walk the neighbours’ dogs or wash their automobiles. No one would pay them to do those things in such dismal weather. She and Ann tried to think of what they could do. Just then, their mother entered the room and, overhearing their problem, offered a suggestion.
“You know, that’s a pretty soft, gentle rain outside,” she said. “There’s no thunder or lightning, and a lightweight raincoat would be enough to protect you from getting soaked. Why don’t you offer to pull weeds in the neighbours’ gardens? The earth will be soft and moist from the rain, so the weeds should come out easily.”
The girls thought that was a terrific idea. They decided to charge three dollars per hour to pull weeds. They went down the street, knocking on doors and offering their weeding services. Before long, three neighbours had hired them to maintain their gardens. Jenna and Ann got right to work cleaning out the planting beds.
“Mom was right about a rainy day being the right time for this,” announced Ann, as she pulled crabgrass and other weeds easily from the moist soil. “The rain makes weed pulling easier, and keeps us from getting too hot."
By late afternoon, the girls had earned enough money to pay for their tickets. They also knew just how they’d spend rainy days for the rest of the summer.
