Jessica and Ellen were having fun on the swings at the park on a hot summer day. They both loved the feeling of the air on their faces when they would swing high up over the ground. After a little while they dragged their sneakers in the dirt to stop swinging.

     Mom had given the twins money to get a summer treat at the park’s snack shop.

“What are you getting?” asked Jessica.

“I want an orange popsicle. That’s my favourite kind,” replied Ellen.

“Let’s split one so it won’t all melt.”

     The two girls bought the popsicle and then started on home. They wondered where the frozen treat on a stick came from so they asked their Mom.

“Oh, popsicles were invented by a boy just about your age. He was eleven. He mixed something like Kool-Aid and water together and brought it on the porch. He forgot to bring his drink inside and it froze overnight with the stirring stick still in it. That’s how the first popsicle was made. Later he sold his treats to the neighbours and then when he grew up he started a popsicle factory.”

      The twins had only heard about famous adult inventors and wondered if someday they too could make some kind of new invention.
