The Red Pony (15 page)
Jody ran into the kitchen where his mother was wiping the last of the breakfast dishes. “Can I have a lemon to make a lemonade for Grandfather?”
His mother mimicked—“And another lemon to make a lemonade for you.”
“No, ma’am. I don’t want one.”
“Jody! You’re sick!” Then she stopped suddenly. “Take a lemon out of the cooler,” she said softly. “Here, I’ll reach the squeezer down to you.”
