00:30Eva's idea bucket is always swirling with ideas to fix problems to try new solutions
00:36and to make new things.
00:39One summer day.
00:41When everyone seeks relief from the scorching sun.

00:53It launches.
00:55Let's start a Lemonade Standaru.
00:58Eva has the freshest ingredients a welcoming smile and a can-do attitude.
01:04But she isn't prepared for competition.
01:09Eva puts on her thinking cap.
01:11She walks.
01:13She sits.
01:15She stews.
01:17And another idea snaps sizzles sprouts.
01:21Time to add a new flavor.
01:23What do you think of this aru?

01:48The crowd chants.
01:51Eva has the freshest ingredients a welcoming smile and a new flavor.
01:56But she isn't prepared for a challenge.
02:00Once again, Eva puts on her thinking cap.
02:04She meditates.
02:06She builds.
02:08She daydreams.
02:10A new idea snaps sizzles sprouts.
02:14Time to spread the word.
02:16Eva creates a logo.
02:18She posts flyers in the neighborhood.

02:27Word spreads and the crowds flock.
02:30Eva has the freshest ingredients a welcoming smile and plenty of buzz.
02:36But she isn't prepared for more change.
02:40Her lemonade line shrinks.
02:42I can't match this she size.
02:46Once again, Eva puts on her thinking cap.
02:49She doodles.
02:51She crafts.
02:53She fiddles.
02:55But no fresh ideas show up.
02:58After a night of tossing and turning free.
03:01Eva is out of new ideas and out of business.
03:05You re happy when you make things says Aru.
03:09Can you make coffee, your special ice cream?
03:13Please?
03:14Eva drags herself out of bed.
03:17She pools out the milk.
03:19She blends in the sugar.
03:22The worm scent of cardamom begins to dance in the air and Eva's heart smiles.
03:27Eva arranges the molds and waits for the coffee to freeze.
03:32You coffee is the best says Aru.
03:35At that very moment, a new idea appears blossoms into something bigger and takes flight.
03:41Aru, you're a genius, she declares.
03:45I know what to do.
03:47That scorching afternoon, Eva offers coffee to family and friends.

03:55She tests.
03:57She adjusts.
03:59She experiments.
