Jordan Spieth battles weather to take two-shot lead at British Open

<p>LONDON &#8212; A British man and his young daughter have gained international attention for being fined for selling lemonade.</p><p>Andre Spicer said his 5-year-old daughter was left in tears after local council officers fined her 150 pounds ($195) for selling lemonade without a license near their home in London. The girl was selling homemade lemonade to fans attending the Lovebox dance festival.</p><p>The four officers approached the girl and began speaking in technical legal terms, telling her that her lemonade stand infringed on local business rights.</p><p>Halfway through the interaction with the officers, Spicer said his daughter burst into tears and said &#8220;I&#8217;ve done a bad thing, daddy. I&#8217;ve done something wrong.&#8221;</p><p>&#8220;I think initially she was a bit shocked and sad,&#8221; Spicer said. &#8220;And then I suggested we try it again with a permit. And she said: &#8216;Oh, it&#8217;s a bit scary.&#8217;&#8221;</p><p>He hopes his daughter will overcome the &#8220;heart-wrenching&#8221; experience and continue to pursue entrepreneurial ideas.</p><p>Spicer wrote an article about the incident for the Daily Telegraph that garnered hundreds of comments and shares online.</p><p>Local officials said the fine will be cancelled immediately. They have apologized to the family.</p><p style="text-align: right;"><em> &#8212; The Associated Press</em></p><style>
