The first-grade teacher was showing pictures

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!”
