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. 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 a wild guess," said the
teacher.
The next gift was from the son of the liquor store-owner. The
teacher held the package overhead, but it was leaking. She touched a drop off
the leakage with her finger and put it to her tongue. "Is it wine?"
she asked. "No," the boy replied, with some excitement. The teacher
repeated the process, tasting a larger drop of the leakage. "Is it
champagne?" she asked. "No," the boy replied, with more
excitement. The teacher took one more big taste before declaring, "I give
up, what is it?" With great glee, the boy replied, "It's a
puppy!" SURPRISE!
