Dalmatian's Duties

"Children's Logic"*

*"Give me a sentence about a public servant," said a teacher.

The small boy wrote: "The fireman came down the ladder pregnant."

The teacher took the lad aside to correct him. "Don't
you know what pregnant means?" she asked.

"Sure," said the young boy confidently. "It means carrying a child."

"Dalmatian's Duties"*

*A nursery school teacher was delivering a station
wagon full of kids home one day when a fire truck
zoomed past. Sitting in the front seat of the truck
was a Dalmatian dog.

The children started discussing the dog's duties.

"They use him to keep crowds back," said one child.

"No," said another, "he's just for good luck."

A third child brought the argument to a close. "They
use the dogs," she said firmly, "to find the fire hydrants!"
