Miss Smith is a kindergarten teacher and today is her
birthday.  As she walked into her classroom one of her
students, Sally, had brought a gift up to her desk.

"Guess what it is!" said Sally.

Knowing that Sally's father owned a bookstore she
guessed, "A Book?"

"How did you know?" asked Sally

Next Dillon brought a gift up to Miss Smith. "Guess what
it is!" said Dillon.

Knowing that Dillon's parents owned a florist shop, she
guessed, "Flowers?"

"How did you know ?" asked Dillon

Finally, Joey brought up a gift for Miss Smith.

"Guess what it is!" said Joey.

Knowing that Joey's father owned a liquor store, and seeing
that the bag was wet, she placed her fingers on the liquid
and then licked them. "Rum?" guessed Miss Smith.

"No" said Joey.

She tasted again..."Vodka?" she guessed.

"No" said Joey.

Once again she wet her fingers and tasted, "I know,"
said Miss Smith, "It's wine."

"No!" said Joey..."it's a puppy."
