THE NEW TEACHER ( Archived) (2)

A new year is starting at the Jewish Grammar School and on the first day of the new term, many of the children bring presents for their teachers.
Morris, whose mother owns the local Florist, brings in a lovely bouquet of flowers for Miss Shapiro his teacher. When Miss Shapiro receives them, she says to Morris, "Oh these flowers are lovely, Morris. I’m going to put them in my lounge as soon as I get home and I’m going to look at them and smell them all night."
Emma, whose father owns the local Newsagent, brings in a giant box of Belgium chocolates for Miss Gold her teacher. When Miss Gold receives it, she says to Emma, "Oh Emma, that’s so nice of you. I’m going to open the box as soon as I get home and make a pig of myself – I just love chocolates."
Bernie, whose father owns the local Kosher Wine shop, brings in a big, heavy box for Mr Levy his teacher. When Mr Levy receives it, he says to Bernie, "Thank you Bernie for my present. I’ve no idea what’s inside it and I can’t wait to get home to find out."
But then Mr Levy notices that the box is leaking a bit. So he touches a drop of the leaking liquid with his index finger, tastes it, then says, "I bet you’ve bought me some bottles of wine Bernie?"
"No, it’s not wine," says Bernie.
So Mr Levy tastes another drop and says, "Is it champagne then, Bernie?"
"No, it’s not champagne either," says Bernie. "It’s a puppy."
