A first standard teacher was having trouble with one of her students. The teacher asked, “Johnny what is your problem?”
Johnny answered, “I’m too smart for the first standard. My sister is in the third standard and I’m smarter than she is! I think I should be in the third standard too!”
The teacher said enough. She took Johnny to the principal’s office. While Johnny waited in the outer office, the teacher explained to the principal what the situation was. The principal told the teacher he would give the boy a test and if he failed to answer any of his questions he was to go back to the first standard and behave. The teacher agreed.
Johnny was brought in and the conditions were explained to him and he agrees to take the test.
Principal: “What is 3 x 3?”
Johnny: “9.”
Principal: “What is 6 x 6?”
Johnny: “36.”
And so it went with every question the principal thought a third standard kid should know. The principal looks at the teacher and tells her, “I think Johnny can go to the third standard.”
The teacher says to the principal, “Let me ask him some questions?”
The principal and Johnny both agree. The teacher asks, “What does a cow have four of that I have only two of?” Johnny, after a moment, “Legs.”
Teacher: “What is in your pants that you have but I do not have?” The principal’s eyes open really wide but before he could stop the answer, Johnny was taking charge. Johnny replied, “Pockets.”
(Now no reactions on Johnny’s face. He was so cool!)
Teacher: “What’s starts with a C and ends with a T, is hairy, oval, delicious and contains thin whitish liquid?”
The principal’s eyes open really wide and before he could stop the answer… Johnny: “Coconut.”
Teacher: “What goes in hard and pink then comes out soft and sticky?”
Johnny: “Bubblegum.”
Teacher: “What does a man do standing up, a woman do sitting down and a dog do on three legs?”
Johnny: “Shake hands.”
Teacher: “Now I will ask some ‘Who am I?’ sort of questions. Ok?”
Johnny: “Yep.”
Teacher: “You stick your poles inside me. You tie me down to get me up. I get wet before you do.”
Johnny: “Tent.”
Teacher: “A finger goes in me. You fiddle with me when you’re bored. the best man always has me first.”
The Principal was looking restless and bit tense.
Johnny: “Wedding ring.”
Teacher: “I come in many sizes. When I’m not well, I drip. When you blow me, you feel good.”
Johnny: “Nose.”
Teacher: “I have a stiff shaft. My tip penetrates. I come with a quiver.”
Johnny: “Arrow.”
Teacher: “What word starts with an ‘F’ and ends in ‘K’ that means a lot of excitement?”
Johnny: “Firetruck.”
The principal breathed a sigh of relief and told the teacher, “Put Johnny in the fifth standard, I missed the last ten questions myself.”
