Asa Baker was selling lemonade near a street food festival last weekend, the New York Post reported.
Her father operated a kiosk nearby, which inspired the daughter to sell this popular drink to customers during the day.
Unfortunately, Asa Baker did not have the license required to make the sale.
In Ohio, you can get a five-day license, at a cost of $40, to hold such an activity.

In response to a complaint from a festival-goer, the police put an end to the girl’s activities.
Met by a local media, she explains her disappointment at having had to close the kiosk for the day.
“The police were very disappointed to have to shut me down, but they gave me $20 to help me pay for the permit,” she says.
Asa Baker then paid for the permit required to be able to reopen the kiosk, but only the next day.
Since her story appeared in the media, the girl has accumulated hundreds of dollars.
