JuiceBox

I never like drinking from juicboxes until I met this one person. Everyday when i would meet them, they would always have an orange juicebox. Once they were done drinking the first one, they would go into their bag and grab another one. I didn't know how many they had. One day, I asked them why they always had so many juiceboxes and they replied that every box they drink, they are helping kids all over the world who don't have any shelter,food,water and even clothes. They had 2010 juiceboxes they have saved up. He tolde that his girlfriend wanted to started a charity where everytime they collect juiceboxes, they would bring them to a company where they can change them into new things. They would receive money for how much they bring in. I wanted to help him but I didn't drink juiceboxes so I asked him if there were any other ways to help this organization. He said "no". I asked if I can try a taste of one of his juiceboxes that he has. He smiled at me and handed me one. I didn't know what kind of taste this would have so I closed my eyes as tightly as I could and sipped in the straw. I tasted nothing. "why is there no juice in this juicebox" I asked. "there's always juice in these boxes, you just have to use your imagination" then he vanished. I looked around to see if he went anywhere else but he actually disappered. His bag was on the floor so I picked it up and looked through his bag. He had empty boxes filled to the top of his bag and not a single one was filled with juice. I remembered what he said earlier and started to drink juiceboxes to help kids all around the world. I have helped 3 million kids around the world and the number is still rising. The organization is now called juicebox.
