Calendar for February 1971

All year long I shall think the words

And whisper them to you.

Then when I write them on my heart

You will know that they are true:

I LOVE YOU!

I may be red or blue or green,

On rainy days I’m often seen.

Sometimes you open me up wide;

Again, I travel at your side.

What am I?

An umbrella

What vegetable is like a sad story?
Onion. It makes you cry

What animal keeps the best time?
A watch dog

John: I added these figures 10 times.
Teacher: Good boy, John.
John: Here are the 10 answers.

How is a snowman like a box of cereal?
They both contain many flakes

Why is the figure 9 like a peacock?
Because it would be nothing without its tail

What is more amazing than a horse that counts?
A spelling bee
