One Story a Day for Early Readers.
Book 9.
Story 1. Lemonade Stand.
Jeannie put up her sign.
It said, Lemonade, 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 I 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.
