THE PRESENT
The Present
On the last day of kindergarten, all the children brought presents for their teacher.
The florist's son handed the teacher a gift. She shook
it, held it up, and said, "I bet I know what it is. It’s some flowers!"
"That's right!" shouted the little boy.
Then the candy store owner's daughter handed the teacher a gift. She held
it up, shook it and said, "I bet I know what it is, it's a box of candy!"
"That's right!” Gleamed the little girl.
The next gift was from the liquor store owner's son. The teacher held it up and saw
that it was leaking. She touched a drop with her finger and tasted it.
"Is it wine?" she asked. "No," the boy answered. The teacher touched another drop
to her tongue. "Is it champagne?" she asked. "No," the boy answered.
She tasted and tried once more. “Is it bourbon? “Nope,” the little boy grinned.
Finally, the teacher said, "I give up. What is it?"
The boy shouted happily, "A puppy!"
