It was at 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 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 of the leakage with
her finger and 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!
