“There we go!” said Dan, the man who ran the “Ice Fresh Lemonade Stand” as he set up the stand, feeling quite proud of his supremely distinguished work. As he set up a chair and took a seat, a duck walked up to the Lemonade Stand and he said to Dan, who was running the stand “Hey!” the duck said, “Got any grapes?”. Dan said “No, we just sell lemonade! It’s cold, fresh and all homemade! Can I get you a glass?”. The Duck said rudely “I’LL PASS!”. Dan just stared at the Duck as he waddled away, until the very next day. Once again, the Duck walked up to the Lemonade Stand and he said to Dan, who was STILL running the stand “Hey! Got any grapes?”. “No dear Duck, like I said yesterday, we just sell lemonade, OK? Just give it a go!” Dan said, apparently trying to convince him. “How about... NO!” The Duck said, acting in a disturbingly bad manner. Then he waddled away, until the very next day. When the Duck walked up to the Lemonade Stand and he said to Dan, who looked undoubtedly angry “Hey! Got any grapes?”. Dan said, bursting with rage, “THAT’S IT DUCK! IF YOU DON’T STAY AWAY, I’LL GLUE YOU TO A TREE AND LEAVE YOU THERE ALL DAY STUCK! SO DON’T GET TOO CLOSE!”. The Duck said quickly, obviously trying to get away as soon as possible “ Nadious*!” Then he waddled away until the very next day. The Duck walked up to the Lemonade stand and he said to Dan who was running the stand, “Hey! Got any Glue?”. “What?” Dan said. “Got any Glue?” the Duck repeated. “What do you- Oh no not again..” Dan said, knowing what’s going to happen. “ I’ve got one more question for you! Got any grapes?” Duck said with an evil grin. Dan just stopped, then he started to smile. He started to laugh. He laughed for a while and said “Come on Duck! Let’s go to the store and buy you some grapes so you don’t have to ask any more.” So they took a stroll to the store, and bought some grapes then he gave one to the Duck then the Duck said “Hmm.. No thanks!” Dan face went red with fury that he couldn’t say a single word. The Duck continued saying “Do you know what sounds good? It will make my day! Do you think this store has any lemonade?” Then the Duck waddled away as fast as he can so Dan can’t catch him! TH€ €ND
