Synopsis/Details: 

Tommy and Julia want to earn some money. What better way than a lemonade stand? Okay, so the first construction effort was a bust. Just have to purchase a stand off the internet. But when the sales start happening, the mayor complains because it competes with his kids' stand. So now the little enterprise needs a sales permit and a signage permit. We'll show him. Let's add cookies to the business and use a credit card machine to process all the new customers. Who knew that meant a small business permit? Good news, Country Time Lemonade will pay for permit fees and fines. Still, this is all costing a lot more than the parent thought.

Maybe it's time to pull the plug on our little entrepreneurs. Too late They've outsourced the stand to some neighbors and are thinking of franchising!
