The first-grade teacher was showing pictures of animals to her students to see how many they could name.
She held up a picture of a lamb, and a little girl said, “That’s a sheep!”
“That’s right!” said the teacher.
“How about THIS one?” she said, holding up a picture of the king of beasts.
“That’s a lion!” answered a little boy.
“Right!” said the teacher.
Then she held up a picture of a deer.
No one volunteered an answer.
She tried to help.
“What does your mother call your father?”
Johnny said, “I know! That’s a lazy old goat!”
