The Lemonade Lie

What happened here?

Margo and Paolo talking and gesturing

Um, it was Kiwi!

Yeah, she flew in and knocked over the lemonade!

Margo and Paolo hanging their heads while Papai questions them

Is that true?

No … it was our fault.

Margo, Paolo, and Papai smiling

We’re sorry, Papai. We’ll clean it up and make more!

Margo cleaning up the spill while Paolo makes more lemonade

Thanks for being honest. I’m sure you’ll do a great job this time.
