Teacher’s Pet

At the end of the school tear the kindergarten was saying farewell and accepting small gifts from her pupils who were sad to be leaving.

The son of the florist handed her something – which she took and held over her head. “I know what this is. It’s flowers!”

“Yes,” said the boy. “How did you know that?”

“Just a guess,” she told him.

The next student was the daughter of the candy shop owner. The teacher took her gift and once again placed it over her head. “I know what this is,” she said. “A box full of candy!”

“Yes,” said the daughter. “How did you know that?”

“Just a guess,” she told her.

The next student was the son from the owner of the liquor store. The teacher took the gift and placed it over her head again and found that it was leaking. She touch the drop that fell on her hand and placed it on her tongue.

“Is it wine?”

“No,” said the boy, who was excited that she couldn’t guess.

The teacher then tried to taste even more of the leakage. “What about champagne?”

“No”

“I give up,” said the teacher.

With excitement the boy told her, “It’s a puppy!”
