五岁小女孩卖柠檬水被罚款195美元
A five-year-old girl was fined(罚款) $195 for selling lemonade(柠檬水). She thought she did a bad thing. Many people went to a music festival. The little girl wanted to sell lemonade to those people. Her father said, “She just wanted to put a smile on people’s faces. She was really proud of herself.”
The little girl’s father talked about what happened. Four government workers came to the lemonade stall(摊位). They said the girl’s stall was illegal. That means it was against the rules. The little girl then said, “Daddy, Daddy, I’ve done a bad thing.” They paid a fine of $195, then came back home. People thought the fine was too heavy. Finally, the local government said sorry to the little girl. They gave the money back to the girl.
