Lemonade Stand

One Story A Day

Lemonade Stand Jeannie put up her sign. It said, Lemunaid: five cents a glass! Her neighbour, Mr. Brown, was walking by. He stopped and said, " You didn't spell lemonade right. It should be spelled l-e-m-o-n-a-d-e. " “ Thank you, " said Jeannie. " I'll write it down so l know how to spell it in the future. " All morning, people stopped to tell Jeannie about her spelling mistake. And right before leaving, they all bought a glass of lemonade. A couple of hours later, Mr. Brown came back. This time, he had a sign with him. " I saw that you have been too busy to make a new sign. So, I made one for you, " he told Jeannie.

“ Thank you, Mr. Brown. Yes, it's true that lemonade is spelled wrong. But my sign is just right, " said Jeannie. “ Why?” said Mr. Brown. “ Everyone stops to tell me about the mistake, ” said Jeannie. " And then, they always buy lemonade. " Jeannie held up a jar full of money and smiled.
