The Daily Chronicle Amelia Bedelia's Attempted Business Amelia Bedelia wants a new bike, because she is jealous of Suzanne. She asks her parents, and they said that kind of bike would cost an arm and a leg. (this part is literal) She can't give an arm and a leg! She needs both arms, and both legs! She needs to earn money. She tries being a waiter, selling lemonade, and lemon tarts, all while taking everything literally, leading to very funny results. In the end, she crashed a bicycle competition, and then she, won the competition. While she was going through this, her bike was crushed, by a car, but she got a new bike from the competition, so, that's that. With that, Amelia Bedelia gets a bicycle, not by getting enough money, but by winning a competition, by crashing it.
