Did you ever have a boring hot summer? Nothing to do, and no way to beat the heat? Well, you're not alone. One summer day, this little boy was hot, bored, and miserable until he came up with a solution. He would start his own business, and he would buy a swimming pool with his earnings. Filled with hope and ambition, he opened his own lemonade stand, expecting to get rich quick. So he waited ... and waited ... and waited, but no customers showed up. Something was wrong, but what? Then a little girl on a trike stopped by and bought a glass of lemonade from the boy. He complained to her that his business was dead. What should he do? the girl on the trike gave the boy this business tip: "You have to make those people THINK!" So the boy thought about it and decided he needed a new sign. And that sign made all the difference in sales. Suddenly he had customers! Later, he expanded his product line to include not one but two different drinks for sale. And he changed his advertsing sign yet again, and this time his business really took off! Before he knew it, he earned enough money to buy that swimming pool and hire employees to run the business for him. But whatever became of that little girl on the trike? Read this delightful, funny story and find out!
