(Sent in by Freda Kerler, 477, Karangahape Road.) "When I "was in India I saw a man* eating tiger." "Oh, that's nothing. Only yesterday I saw a man eating rabbit!" The pupil had been away for some time and came back with lii» throat bound up in red flannel. He presented a note: "Please do not let Tommy learn any more French. His throat is so sore he can hardly speak English." Bobby: Grandma, if I am invited out must I eat my tart with a fork? Grandma: Yes, dear. Bobby: Grandma, have you a piece I could practise on? (Sent In by Annie Ah Chan, Totara Thames.) A schoolteacher, after examination of the pupils in his class by the school nurse, wrote the following note to the parents of a certain little boy:—"'Your bov, Johnnie, shows signs of astigmatism. Will you please investigate and take steps to correct it." The next morning she received a reply from the boy's father, who wrote:—"l don't exactly understand what Johnnie has done, but I have walloped him to-night and you can wallop him tomorrow. That ought to help."
