Kindergarten Gifts
It was the end of the school year, and a kindergarten teacher was
receiving gifts from her pupils.
The florist's son handed her a gift.
She shook it, held it overhead, and said, "I bet I know what it is. Some
flowers?"
"That's right" the boy said, "but how did you know?"
"Oh, just a wild guess," she said.
The next pupil was the sweet shop owner's daughter. The teacher held her
gift overhead, shook it, and said, "I bet I can guess what it is. A box of
sweets?"
"That's right, but how did you know?" asked the girl.
"Oh, just another wild guess," said the teacher.
The next gift was from the son of the liquor store owner.
The teacher held the package overhead, and noticed that it was leaking.
She touched a drop of the liquid with her finger and then touched it to
her tongue.
"Is it wine?" she asked.
"No," the boy replied, with some excitement.
The teacher repeated the process, taking a larger drop of the leakage to
her tongue.
"Is it champagne?" she asked.
"No," the boy replied, with more excitement.
The teacher took one more taste before declaring, "I give up, what is it?"
With great glee, the boy replied, "It's a puppy!"
