>> It was 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 another wild guess," said the teacher.
>>
>> The next gift was from the son of the liquor store owner.
>>
>> The teacher held the package overhead, and noticed that it was leaking.
>> She touched a drop of the liquid with her finger and then 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!"
