English Humor part 6

A PRIZE

Little Tommy came home from school with a new book under his arm.

“It’s a prize, Mother,” he said.

“A prize? What for, dear?”

“At the lesson the teacher asked me how many legs an ostrich had, and I said three.”

“But an ostrich has two legs.”

“I know that now, Mother, but the rest of the class said four; so I was nearest.”

AT SCHOOL

TEACHER: Nick, what is one half of one tenth?

SMALL BOY: I don’t know exactly, teacher, but it can’t be very much.

IN THE PENCIL

TEACHER (to a little girl learning to write): But where is the dot over the i?

LITTLE GIRL: It’s in the pencil yet.
