It was the end of the school year, and a kindergarten teacher was receiving gifts from her students. The florist’s son handed her a present. She shook it, held it overhead, and said, “I bet I know what this is. Some flowers?”
“That’s right,” the little boy replied, “but how did you know?”
“Oh, I'm just a good guesser,” the teacher answered.
The next student was a candy shop owner’s daughter. The teacher held her gift overhead, shook it, and said, “I bet I can guess what this is. A box of sweets?”
“That’s right, teacher, but how did you know?” asked the little girl.
“Oh, just a wild guess,” said the teacher.
The next gift was from the son of a liquor store owner. The teacher held the package overhead, but it was leaking. She touched a drop of the liquid with her finger and licked it. “Is it wine?” she asked the little boy with a big smile.
“No.” the boy replied happily.
The teacher repeated the process, taking a larger drop of the leakage to her tongue. “Is it champagne?” she asked.
“No,” the boy replied, grinning even bigger.
The teacher took one more taste before declaring, “I give up, what is it?”
With glee, the little boy replied, “It’s a puppy!”
