Luigi had the day off from running his Lemonade Bar and was walking across a community market in Drachten with his older, yet shorter brother Mario. "What a great day to go across the community market, isn't it, Mario?" Luigi asked Mario with a smile.
Mario smiled and nodded. "Agreed, Luigi. Community markets are great. And in case some of the viewers reading this story don't know what a community market is, I'll explain. A community market is a place where people come together to sell and buy things and help one another." He told the viewers.
Luigi smiled and nodded back. "Yep. Thus, everyone here is helping out." He said before an idea came to him. "Hey, Mario! I just had an idea! We should help the community too!" He told his red clad brother.
"Great idea, Luigi! Had a cause in mind for our shop at the community market?" Mario asked his green clad brother.
"Yes, I do have a cause in mind. You see, Diddy Kong's soccer team needs new uniforms, and I know how we can get them. We will make and sell the lemonade I normally sell at my Lemonade Bar to help buy what the community needs." Luigi replied to him.
Mario nodded. "That's a great idea!" He replied. About an hour later, Mario and Luigi were standing at the community market with a lemonade stand filled with a few pitchers of lemonade and some cups.
"Lemonade! 25 cents a cup!" Luigi called across the community market before Wario, Waluigi, Wigger and Gooper Blooper walked up to the lemonade stand.
"Wee, hee, hee! If it isn't the Mario Brothers! Selling lemonade for a good cause, are we? Well, you're in luck, because we've been going around the community market for a while now, and we're pretty thirsty." Waluigi told Mario and Luigi.
"Yeah, so...A cup of lemonade for each of us, please." Wario added.
"25 cents a cup, gentlemen." Mario told the four gentlemen as they proceeded to each drop 25 cents into the pot that had a picture of a soccer uniform on it, which served as the cash register for the lemonade stand.
"Alright, thank you for helping." Luigi smiled as he poured Wario, Waluigi, Wiggler and Gooper Blooper each a cup of lemonade, which the four gentlemen proceeded to down in one go.
"Aaaah, thanks a lot, Mario Brothers! We appreciate it!" Wario said as him, Waluigi, Wiggler and Gooper Blooper proceeded to throw their cups away and walked off.
Sometime later, Mario and Luigi had gotten quite a bit of money from selling lemonade, but still had quite some lemonade left. "Lemonade! Come get your lemonade!" Luigi called again. Soon, Roy Koopa, Iggy Koopa, Ludwig von Koopa, Lemmy Koopa and Larry Koopa walked to the lemonade stand.
"Hey, Super Stupid Brothers. We're pretty thirsty from the hot weather, so we'd like a cup of lemonade for each of us, please." Roy told Mario and Luigi.
"Yeah, so how much does a glass of lemonade cost?" Iggy asked.
"25 cents, Iggs." Mario replied. The five Koopalings then each proceeded to drop 25 cents into the money jar.
"Alright, thank you for helping." Luigi smiled as he poured the five Koopalings a cup of lemonade each, which they proceeded to down in one go.
"Aaaah, our thirst has been quenched. Thanks." Roy remarked as the five Koopalings threw their cups away and walked off.
Sometime later, Mario and Luigi had gotten even more money, but still had a bit of lemonade left. "Anyone still thirsty for our last bit of lemonade? Come get it while it lasts!" Luigi called across the community market before Yoshi and Birdo walked up to the lemonade stand.
"Oh, hi, Big Red and Little Green! You're selling lemonade at the community market today? How sweet!" Yoshi remarked.
"25 cents a cup, if I'm reading that right?" Birdo asked as she looked at the sign at the front of the stand.
"Correct." Mario replied.
"Okay." Yoshi replied as him and Birdo both proceeded to drop 25 cents into the money jar.
"Two cups of lemonade for two thirsty dinosaurs. Thank you for helping." Luigi smiled as he poured Yoshi and Birdo a cup of lemonade each, which the two dinosaurs proceeded to down in one go.
"Even in the great outdoors, your lemonade is still the best, Little Green! Thanks!" Yoshi smiled as him and Birdo walked off. Mario and Luigi smiled and looked at their pitchers of lemonade. They were all empty. Mario and Luigi then proceeded to count all the money they had earned over the past few hours, looked at each other and smiled.
"Well, we're all out of lemonade, and we've managed to raise enough money to buy those new uniforms for Diddy Kong's soccer team! We did good today, Mario!" Luigi told his red clad brother.
Mario smiled and nodded. "We sure did, Luigi!" He replied before looking at the viewers. "So you can see, dear viewers, helping the community benefits everyone! Maybe there's a way that you can help the community where you live too!" He told the viewers.
Luigi smiled and nodded back. "Well, until next time, folks! And next time, I'll be selling lemonade from my humble little Lemonade Bar again!" He said as him and Mario made a parting wave.
