Lemonade Stand

One Story A Day

一天一个故事

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.

柠檬水摊子 珍妮挂上了她的牌子。上面写着:5美分一杯!她的邻居布朗先生正好路过。他停下来说:“你没有拼对柠檬水。应该写成I-e-m-o-n-a-d-e。” “谢谢你，”珍妮说。“我要把它写下来，这样我以后就知道怎么拼写了。” 整个上午，人们都停下来告诉珍妮她的拼写错误。在离开之前，他们都买了一杯柠檬水。 几个小时后，布朗先生回来了。这一次，他带了一块牌子。“我看到你太忙了，没有时间做一个新牌子。“所以，我给你做了一个。”他告诉珍妮。

“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.

“谢谢你，布朗先生。是的，没错，lemonade这个词拼错了。但我的广告牌很好，”珍妮说。“为什么?”布朗先生说。“每个人都停下来告诉我这个错误，”珍妮说。“然后，他们总是买柠檬水。”珍妮拿起一个装满钱的罐子，笑了。
