A SURPRISE GIFT FOR THE TEACHER.

It was the nursery teachers birthday and the students decided that
they would each buy their teacher a gift.

The first student, whose parents own a florist shop, gave her a
present. She held it and said "I guess that it is flowers". "How
did you guess?" asked the little boy. She laughed and thanked him.

The second student, whose parents own a sweet shop, gave her a
present. She held it and said, "I guess that is some sweets."

"How did you guess?" asked the little boy. She again laughed and
thanked him also.

The third student, whose parents own a wine outlet, gave her a box
which was leaking. The teacher touched the liquid with her finger
and tasted it. "Mmmmm is it wine?" she asked.

"No," said the little girl.

So she tasted it again. "Is it Champagne?" she asked.

"No," replied the little girl, "It is a puppy."
