On Teachers' Day, a kindergarten instructor received gifts from her pupils.
The first one was from the florist's son. The teacher shook it, held it over her head, and said, "I bet I know what this is--flowers!"
"That's right" the boy said, "but how did you know?"
"Oh, just a lucky guess," the teacher replied.
The next pupil was the daughter of a candy store owner. The teacher held this child's gift overhead, shook it, and said, "I bet I can guess what this is--a box of candy!"
"That's right," said the little girl, "but how did you know?"
"Oh, just a wild guess," replied the teacher.
The next gift was from the son of a liquor store owner. The teacher held it overhead and noticed that it was leaking. She touched a drop of the leakage and tasted it.
"Is it wine?" the teacher asked.
"No" the boy replied.
The teacher repeated the process, touching another drop of the leakage to her tongue. "Is it champagne?" she asked.
"No" the boy replied.
The teacher then said, "I give up, what is it?"
"A puppy!" the boy replied.
