The smug stockbroker tries to teach the girl a lesson
A stockbroker walks past a little girl selling lemonade ๐.
"Hey mister, want some lemonade?" she asks with a big smile.
He glances at the sign that reads: "BROWNIES ยข10 LEMONADE $20" ๐คจ.
"Hey kid, your sign is wrong. I think you mean twenty cents," he says.
The little girl shakes her head. "Nope, twenty bucks, mister. You want some?" ๐โโ๏ธ
"Look sweetie, you're too young to understand economics. You can only charge what someone is willing to pay. It doesn't cost you much to make it, so if you charge a lower price, you'll make more profit."
The little girl thinks for a moment. "Hmmโฆnope! Twenty bucks, mister!" ๐ธ
The stockbroker sighs and shakes his head. "Okay lookโฆ I studied economics at Harvard and got my MBA from Wharton. I'm going to teach you a bit about business, okay? You're losing money on the brownies, and you're not making any profit because nobody wants to pay that much for lemonade when they can get it cheaper a few blocks away. Understand?"
"Nope! Twenty bucks, mister!" she repeats cheerfully ๐.
"You know what? I give up. Guess this is the only way you'll learn. Here's a dime for a brownie. I bet it cost you more than that."
"Okay!" The girl takes the dime, and the stockbroker decides to eat the brownie right in front of her to make his point ๐ซ.
Suddenly, he starts coughing and gagging uncontrollably. "Oh my Godโฆ what is this?! It tastes like sawdust and dog poop! Get this taste out of my mouth!" ๐คข
The little girl cocks her head to the side and says with a beaming grin,
"Ya want some lemonade?" ๐๐
