| Not the actual one I got, but not far off. |
It is a truth universally acknowledged that things given unto teachers are generally eaten, drunk, put into storage, thrown out or regifted as soon as possible. Such is the case with this delightful item. This was actually the first Teacher's Day gift I was given, back in 1993. I was working in Izmir, Turkey, and I was surprised to discover that they had a whole day dedicated to teachers. A student came up to me, smiling, and handed me this delight. 'Happy Teacher's day, my teacher!' he said, putting this in my hands. Later on, in the staff room, we compared presents. I was lucky: someone had a singing Elvis mirror, while another had a little bright orange yapping dog that did backflips.
Strangely, my plastic stuffed birds in their presentation case disappeared, so you will have to make do with this very close approximation of it in all its glory.
