BIRTHDAY SURPRISE

BENNY DECIDED TO BUY A PRESENT

FOR HIS UNCLE SAM’S BIRTHDAY,

SO WITH HIS OLDER BROTHER’S HELP

HE BOUGHT A PRESENT,

GIFT WRAPPED IT

AND TOOK IT OVER TO HIS UNCLE.

HIS UNCLE, KNOWING THAT BENNY’S

FATHER MANUFACTURED APPLE JUICE

AND SEEING A WET SPOT ON THE

BOTTOM CORNER OF THE BOX,

DECIDED TO HAVE SOME FUN WITH

BENNY BY TRYING TO GUESS

WHAT WAS IN THE BOX.

“HMM” SAID UNCLE SAM,

DIPPING HIS FINGER ON THE WET SPOT

AND TAKING A QUICK TASTE,

“I’M GOING TO GUESS IT’S

A CASE OF APPLE JUICE.”

“NO” SAID BENNY JUMPING UP AND

DOWN CLEARLY ENJOYING THE GAME.

“NOT APPLE JUICE?”

SAID UNCLE SAM CLEARLY SURPRISED.

AFTER ANOTHER QUICK TASTE AND A

BRIEF PAUSE HE GUESSED AGAIN

“IS IT APPLE CIDER?”

“NO,” SAID BENNY PRACTICALLY

SQUEALING IN EXCITEMENT

“IT’S A PUPPY!”
