Last Day of School



 On a special Teachers Day, a teacher was receiving gifts from her
 pupils. 
 
 The florist's son handed her a gift. She shook it, held it overhead,
 and said, "bet I know what it is, some flowers." 
 
 "That's right" said the boy," but how did you know that?" 
 
 "Oh just a wild guess," she said 
 
 The next pupil was the candy store owner's daughter. The teacher held
 her gift over head, shook it, and said, " I bet I can guess what it is, a
 box of candy." 
 
 "That's right, but how did you know?" asked the girl. 

 "Oh, just a wild guess," said the teacher. 
 
 The next gift was from the son of the liquor store owner. The teacher
 held it overhead, but it was leaking. She touched a drop of the leakage
 with her finger and touched it to her tongue. "Is it wine?" she asked. 

 "No" the boy replied. The teacher repeated the process, touching another 
 drop of the leakage to her tongue.  " Is it champagne?" she asked. 

"No" the boy replied. 
 
 The teacher then said, "I give up, what is it?" 
 
 The boy replied, " A puppy!"
