Synopsis:
Everyone knew that Sam Crowder was a mean, penny-pinching old crab, who saw himself as tough as nails. He didn't like little Annie selling lemonade from her stand in front of the store, but would not believe her when she said that her lemonade pitcher was mysteriously full every morning, claiming that a good fairy filled it up every night. Unknown to anyone, it was Sam Crowder who secretly did the filling every night, not wanting to ruin his bad reputation with the people.
