Little Johnny would bring a pretzel daily from his uncle’s bakery for his new teacher instead of an apple. What happens next is truly hilarious.
The teacher would always thank Little Johnny for giving her the pretzel.
But one day she said “Johnny, the pretzels are very good, but do you think your uncle can make them without salt?”
From then on the pretzels had no salt in them.
Everyday Little Johnny would bring pretzels that were salt-free.
After a few days the teacher felt she was making it hard for Johnny’s uncle to make pretzels without salt especially for her so she said to Johnny “Little Johnny, I hope it’s not too much work for your uncle to make pretzels without salt for me?”
Little Johnny says “Oh no. He doesn’t make them without salt. I lick the salt off.”
The teacher put a question to the class:
“What does a cat have that no other animal
A number cried in unison:
“Fur!”
But an objector raised the point that bears and skunks have fur. One pupil raised an eager hand:
“I know, teacher–whiskers!”
But another objector laughed scornfully.
“Haw-haw! My papa has whiskers!”
The suggester of whiskers defended her idea by declaring:
“My papa ain’t got whiskers.”
“‘Cause he can’t!” the objector sneered. “Haw-haw! Your pa ain’t no good. My pa says—-“
The teacher rapped for order and repeated her question.
A little Johnny raised his hand, and at the teacher’s nod spoke timidly.
“Kittens!”
