Why a toy store isn’t just fun and games

Steven Aarons is the owner of Barstons Child’s Play, an independent toy store

in the Washington area. This is a journalist’s interview with him.

Interviewer: Did you have a lot of toys as a child?

Steven Aarons: No. My parents were not in any sort of financial position to buy toys

as gifts. If I had any toys, they were from my uncle.

Interviewer: Why did you want to have a toy store?

Steven Aarons: When I was thinking about starting a toy store, I had friends who

were artists. I was discussing with them the idea that kids are a blank page. And

I think the materials you give to a child are really important to fill it.

Interviewer: What makes for a great toy store?

Steven Aarons: A toy store should consider the development of a child and can mix

in thefact that some things are only for play. We’ll have a small shelf of Barbie

dolls, but we are not going to put it out there predominately(占绝大多数地). I try

to think of play time as being the same as nutrition(营养). When you work on a diet 制卷人：歐陽文化、歐陽理複；制卷時間：二O二二年二月七日

a little bit of dessert mixed in, but you’re not going to give them just dessert.

Interviewer: Are there any problems of owning a toy store?

doesn’t really enjoy having children. I think having children is one of the greatest

things in life. I have a really good relationship with my kids.

Josh Morrison, 17, dreamed of raising $100,000 to build a home for a low-income 制卷人：歐陽文化、歐陽理複；制卷時間：二O二二年二月七日

制卷人：歐陽文化、歐陽理複；制卷時間：二O二二年二月七日 family. After years of hard work, his dream has come true. The house is now in the

early stages of building.

Six years ago, Josh and his dad went into a Habitat for Humanity Restore, a

home improvement store and donation center run by the nonprofit organization. They

were there to buy a sink. Josh, then 11, also noticed a collection of pennies. “I

instantly felt the urge to help out with that,〞 he said. Josh set a fundraising

deadline of four years. Many people doubted whether he could reach his goal of

$100,000, but it didn’t shake his faith. He raised money at his school and other

nearby schools. He collected money from neighbors, got publicity from local

newspapers, and placed cans in stores so that people could donate extra change.

Josh’s fundraising efforts began to produce results. Still, there were

challenges. Four months before his deadline, he was $30,000 short. He decided to

hold a Family Fun Fair and Spaghetti Dinner in Uxbridge, which is in the province

of Ontario. The event raised $19,000.

“I didn’t care how long it took me,〞 Josh said. “I would raise $100,000.〞

With three weeks left, a company called Josh’s house, offered to donate $18,000.

Eventually, Josh reached a total of $124,000 before his deadline. “The momentum

just kept going, and we decided to do more,〞 he said. “Josh’s Penny House〞 is

being built by Habitat for Humanity in the city of Oshawa, along with 24 new

townhouses. Josh has helped with some of the construction, as have other volunteers.

He will choose the family that moves into the unit.

Next year, the 17-year-old will head to college in British Columbia, Canada’s 制卷人：歐陽文化、歐陽理複；制卷時間：二O二二年二月七日

to send a powerful message across the world. No matter how old you are, if you have

a dream and are willing to do anything to achieve it, it can come true.
