     original

 Lemon Street then too was the name of the street because no one sold lemon aid there because along both sides of a street lemon trees grew one right next to each other a woman thinking she was dying thought the cure for her illness were lemons so she bought the street she lived on since she was rich and could afford to do that did .

Then she had too made a formula added to the lemons that produced a side effect which caused people to age younger ,she told her close friends no one else ,only those that could afford it .Only the rich could .And so then the government wanted to know why a handful of rich people were getting younger and why,but no one would say anything .
 

Miss Anna as she was called planted the last lemon tree and the street changed its name to Lemon Aid .Anna like that and those that were getting younger lived on the same street as Anna but still the government wanted to know why .
 

They never found out and soon Miss Anna;s lemons were put into market by a purchaser unknown but who wanted to have the lemons shipped to poor countries to help the elderly .
 

Then the world was younger again or most of it was but those that still grew old laughed and said growing older was one of the pleasues out of life being young forever takes the joy away from growing older from learning each year to year as you grow older too.

Miss Anna would only laugh and smile .She then  knew t he reason the real reason but she had lied before so telling the truth now would only hurt those she was helping out then and thenno one was the wiser either .

Miss Anna would indeed live a long life even without taking the lemons .And then she started then putting labels on them as well,caution : And those then that are already young do not eat lemons then too will not help you at alL .Labels,she thought. Who needs them ? Labels then  were in fact only use to tell or identify things what kinds of fruits or food you were or how high your ranking was or what your name was .  
 

Even long after she died Miss Anna made sure that someone took care of her lemon trees and for the next hundred years lemons remained worldly popular until the start of the new century when the government finally discovered the secret of Anna's lemon trees,the houses,the street was shut down and every tree was cut down  while all the lemons were in fact burned .But the idea from Anna still was there,the idea of youth and being able too live forever was there in everyone's minds's .
