fresh squeezed lemonade

Today i set up a lemonade stand i had fun. reading my book while waiting for customers. When people came i gave them lemonade and they gave me money. Each cup was a dollar because it was fresh squeezed.

My recipe for lemonade is 2 lemons with pulp, 8 spoons of sugar and water and ice til it tastes good.

I marketed my lemonade by making a sign with cut out blue and yellow letters that said "Fresh Squeezed Lemonade - Ice Cold" and I put it in a frame by the street.

I think I had 6 customers and they bought 10 cups of lemonade. It was a very hot day and it felt like more than 100 degrees. I was in the shade with an umbrella though.

I spent $6.50 for lemons, sugar and cups.

I earned $10.

My profit was $3.50.

It's fun to make money while you read your book.
