(Source: breakingnewsenglish.com/1707/170723-lemonade-0.html)

A five-year-old in London was fined $195 for selling lemonade. She thought she did something bad. She wanted to sell lemonade to people going to a music festival. The little girl was excited to sell her lemonade. 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 explained what happened. Four government workers came to the lemonade stall. They started filming the girl. Then they read a paper about not having a trading licence. The little girl then said: “Daddy, Daddy, I’ve done a bad thing.” The local government apologised to the little girl and cancelled the fine.
