Story 9. Lemon Ice for Sale.
On a hot summer day, Jim and Jill decided to sell lemon ice.
But first, they had to make it.
They poured lemonade into small paper cups and put the cups in the freezer.
Let's set up a table while we wait for it to freeze, said Jim.
Great idea, said Jill.
Soon they had set up a table with a yellow tablecloth by the road.
Jill went to the freezer, but came back empty-handed.
It's not frozen yet, she said.
Let's make a sign while we wait for it to freeze, said Jim.
Great idea, said Jill.
They made a big yellow sign, Lemon Ice for Sale.
Soon, a crowd of kids formed in front of the table.
Jim and Jill went to get the lemon ice.
It's still not frozen.
It's just cold, said Jim.
What will we sell to all those kids?
Lemonade! exclaimed Jill.
Ice-cold lemonade!
Soon, Jim and Jill sold out of lemonade and started another batch.
