The teacher asked little Billy if he knows his numbers.
"Yes," he said. "My dad taught me."
"Good! Can you tell me what comes after three."
"Four," answers little Billy.
"What comes after six?"
"Seven."
"Very good," says the teacher. "Your father did a good job. What comes after ten?"
"A jack," says little Billy.
