It was a hot, summer day in Chargrin Falls, Ohio. Most days a certain boy and his stuffed tiger would be plotting a water balloon onslaught against their neighbor.
But that wasn't the case today.
Calvin was sitting out by his cardboard box, with a pitcher of Lemonade.
Ice Cold Lemonade! Best Lemonade in the world! Freshly squeezed Lemons! Only $5!
"Best money-making idea ever." Calvin said grinning.
Hobbes came out, after seeing Calvin's stand.
"Am I seeing right?" Hobbes asked Calvin.
"Why would you ask that?" Calvin asked.
"Because normally you try to sell stuff nobody wants." Hobbes remarked.
"Relax, this is real, and even though the price is high, trust me, it'll be worth it." Calvin said.
Hobbes decided to watch as Susie Derkins came to observe.
"Why Five Dollars for a simple glass?" Susie asked.
"Because, these are the best lemons I've found in the world. The taste is so good, you'll want even more." Calvin stated.
Susie shrugged, and pulled $5 out and gave it to Calvin, and Calvin poured her a glass.
Susie took a drink of it, and spit it out almost instantly.
"THIS IS BOILING WATER WITH YELLOW FOOD COLORING YOU TWIT! YOUR GOING TO GET IT GOOD!" Susie yelled in anger.
"Uh oh." Calvin muttered as he attempted to get away.
"GET BACK HERE YOU ROTTEN BRAT!"
"YOU'LL NEVER TAKE ME ALIVE ICKY GIRL!"
Meanwhile, Calvin's Mom was cooking dinner inside when she heard the commotion.
"OW! HEY! LEGGO! YOUR OWN FAULT FOR TRYING IT!"
"WELL PEOPLE WANT COLD DRINKS WHEN IT'S HOT OUT! NOT HOT DRINKS! GIVE ME MY 5 BUCKS BACK NOW!"
"NEVER! NOT UNTIL YOU ARE DEPORTED TO A SIBERIAN GULAG!"
"Not again..." Calvin's Mom sighed as she ran out to get the two away from each other.
Hobbes simply laughed.
"I knew it was too good to be true." He said laughing as he walked back inside.
