成寒部落格

　　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!
