Heat and Cold

A class of physics at school. The teacher: "Now, who can tell me anything about heat?" A small boy held up his hand: "Heat makes things larger, sir, and cold makes things smaller."– "All right, give an example." – "In summer days are longer because it is hot, in winter they are shorter because it is cold."

No Music Lesson

Once the teacher asked his pupil: "Bobby, how many fingers have you?" The pupil answered at ones: "I have ten fingers."

The teacher asked him another question: "Well, if four were missing what would you have then?" – "No music lessons," was the answer.

At the Lesson

"Well, Alee, how much is two plus one?" asked the teacher.

"I don't know, sir," answered the boy.

"Well, Alee! Fancy I give you two dogs and then one dog more. How many dogs have you now?"

"Four dogs," the boy answered timidly.

"Why, Alee?"

"Because I already have one dog, sir."

– Oh, Mother, must I learn music?

– Yes, I insist, but you can choose what instrument, if you like.
