> Harry answered, 'I'm too smart for the 1st grade.
> My sister is in the 3rd grade and I'm smarter than she
> is! I think I should be in the 3rd grade too !'
> Ms. Brooks had had enough. She took Harry to the
> principal's office.
> While Harry waited in the outer office, the teacher
> explained to the principal what the situation was. The
> principal told Ms. Brooks he would give the boy a test. If
> he failed to answer any of his questions he was to go back
> to the 1st grade and behave. She agreed.
> Harry was brought in and the conditions were explained to
> him and he agreed to take the test.
> Principal : 'What is 3 x 3 ?'
> Harry : '9.'
> Principal : 'What is 6 x 6 ?'
> Harry : '36.'
> And so it went with every question the principal thought
> a 3rd grader should know.
> The principal looks at Ms. Brooks and tells her, 'I
> think Harry can go to the 3rd grade.'
> Ms. Brooks says to the principal,' Let me ask him
> some questions.'
> The principal and Harry both agreed.

> Ms. Brooks asks, 'What does a cow have four of that I

> Harry, after a moment: 'Legs.'
> Ms Brooks: 'What is in your pants that you have but I
> do not have ?'
> The principal wondered why would she ask such a question
> Harry replied : 'Pockets.'
> Ms. Brooks : 'What does a dog do that a man steps
> into ?'
> Harry : 'Pants.'
> Ms. Brooks : What starts with a C , ends with a T , is
> hairy, oval, delicious and contains thin, whitish liquid?
> Harry : ' Coconut.'
> The principal sat forward with his mouth hanging open.
> Ms. Brooks :' What goes in hard and pink then comes
> out soft and sticky ?'
> The principal's eyes opened really wide and before he
> could stop the answer, Harry replied, 'Bubble gum.'
> Ms. Brooks : 'What does a man do standing up, a woman
> does sitting down and a dog does on three legs ?'
> Harry : 'Shake hands.'
> The principal was trembling.

> Ms. Brooks : 'What word starts with an 'F '
> and ends in ' K ' that means a lot of heat and

> Harry : 'Firetruck.'
