HAVE A LAUGH

-

Baby turtle

A BABY turtle was standing at the bottom of a large tree and with a deep sigh, started to climb.

About an hour later, he reached a very high branch and walked along to the end.

He turned and spread all four flippers and launched himself off the branch.

On landing at the bottom in a pile of soft, dead leaves, he shook himself off, walked back to the bottom of the tree and with a sigh started to climb.

About an hour later, he again reached the very high branch, walked along, turned, spread his flippers and flung himself off the branch.

Again, he landed on the bottom, shook himself off, went to the bottom of the tree, sighed and started climbing.

Watching these proceeding­s from the end of the branch were two birds.

The Momma bird turned to Daddy bird and said, “Don’t you think it’s time we told him he was adopted?”

Maths problem

THE math teacher was giving a lesson on fractions and wrote an example on the chalkboard.

He explained that the numerator was the top and the denominato­r was the bottom.

Leaning against the board, he asked the class, “Are there any questions?”

When he turned back to face the board, laughter filled the room.

“Mr. Alexander,” one student giggled, “you have chalk dust all over your denominato­r!”
