Children. A soft substance.

Teacher. Is there any other sort of wax that is not soft?

Children. Yes, the whacks you give us when we don't know our lessons.

Teacher. What does a cow give us?

Children. Nothing.

Teacher. Well, what does the milkman give us?

Children. He gives us nothing; we buy it.

Teacher. What do we buy from him?

Children. Milk and water.

Teacher. What's this?
