From the comments most people view the girl as having great business sense. I not debating that point but want to stress that *maybe* the first child saw a way to remove inefficiencies from a process... much like Henry Ford did with the automobile assembly line. Everyone is so quick to point out they'd gladly wait for the *homemade* lemonade but entire industries have developed (fast food is a great example) because people don't want to wait longer than necessary . Fast food is not the best tasting food on the planet.. but each chain has a system that allows them to quickly make and serve food. Would it be a staple of my diet..NO. But the numbers don't lie and companies like McDonalds are extremely profitable in spite of not having the best tasting food or keeping their customers mesmerized by enchanting stories. When I'm hungry I want to eat. I don't want to listen to a story, haiku, a limeric, or a song. When I need my A/C/ fixed (I live in Florida and it does get hot and sticky down here) I want to know that the technician is competent, can do the job, and leave. Could businesses have more personality... of course.... but the next time you're paying for a service and it's taking longer than it should (for no good reason) think about this post. The next time you're at a restaurant and it takes 90 minutes for your food to come smile... because really good food takes 90 minutes to prepare and "can't be rushed".
