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 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.
柠檬水牌子
珍妮挂了她的牌子,上面写着。勒穆奈德(音同柠檬水英文):五美分一杯!
她的邻居,布朗先生路过,停下来说。“你拼写柠檬水不对,它应该拼写为l-e-m-o-n-a-d-e。”
“谢谢你,”珍妮说,“我会把它写下来,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,他随身携带了一个标志。他告诉珍妮:“我看到你太忙了,没有时间做新的标志。所以,我给你做了一个。”
珍妮说:“谢谢你,布朗先生。是的,柠檬水确实拼错了。但我的牌子刚刚好。”
“为什么?”布朗先生说。
珍妮说:“每个人都停下来告诉我这个错误。”“然后,他们总是买柠檬水。”珍妮举起一个装满钱的罐子,笑了。
