Sure. One story could be 'The Brave Little Squirrel'. There was a little squirrel who lived in a big forest. One day, a storm came and blew away all the nuts the squirrels had stored for winter. While the other squirrels were afraid, this little squirrel decided to venture out further to find more nuts. It faced many challenges like a tricky river and a mean old owl, but it didn't give up. In the end, it found a huge oak tree full of nuts and led the other squirrels there, teaching them about courage.

Sure. Here's one. Once upon a time, there was a little rabbit. He was very curious. One day, he decided to explore the forest beyond his usual meadow.

And the rabbit learned that there were so many wonderful things to discover outside his own little world.
There was a little bunny named Bun. Bun was always very curious. One day, he saw a shiny object in the forest near the campfire area. He thought it was a magic star that had fallen from the sky. He tried to pick it up, but it was stuck to the ground. Bun tugged and tugged. Finally, he realized it was just a piece of broken mirror. But instead of being disappointed, he used it to make funny faces at his friends, and they all had a great time laughing at his silly expressions.
Sure. Here's one. There was a little girl who lived near an old, abandoned house. One night while camping near there, she heard a soft humming coming from the house. When she peeked in through the dusty window, she saw a faint figure that looked like a child just like her. But when she blinked, it disappeared. She ran back to the campfire, and every night after that, she could still hear the humming from a distance.
One classic is 'The Hook Man'. It's about a couple parked in a lovers' lane. They hear on the radio about an escaped lunatic with a hook for a hand. Strange noises start coming from outside the car. When the guy finally drives away in a panic, they find a hook hanging from the car door handle.
There's the 'Invisible Camping Buddy' story. A kid was at camp and felt like he had an invisible friend who helped him set up the tent really fast.

It was a really light - hearted and humorous story.
