02/08/06 Grif.Net - Gift for the Elementary Teacher

[Dr Bob Griffin]

On a special Teacher Appreciation Day, an elementary teacher was receiving
gifts from her pupils. The florist's son handed her a gift. She shook it,
held it over her head, and said, "I bet I know what it is....some flowers."

"That's right!" said the boy. "But how did you know?"

"Just a wild guess," she said.

The next pupil was the candy store owner's daughter. The teacher held her
gift overhead, shook it, and said, "I bet I can guess what it is...a box of
candy."

"That's right! But how did you know?" asked the girl.

"Just a lucky guess," said the teacher. The next gift was from the liquor
store owner's son. The teacher held it over her head but it was leaking. She
touched a drop of the leakage with her finger and tasted it. "Is it wine?"
she asked.

"No," the boy giggled. The teacher repeated the process, touching another
drop of the leakage to her tongue.

"Is it champagne?" she asked.

"No," the boy rolled his eyes. The teacher then said, "I give up, what is
it?"

Smiling, the boy replied, "It's a puppy!"
