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!"
