Another one is 'Lamb to the Slaughter' by Roald Dahl. The plot is quite unexpected. A wife kills her husband with a frozen leg of lamb and then cooks the lamb to destroy the evidence. The way she deals with the police who come to investigate is really funny in a dark humor sort of way.
One funny short story is 'A Retrieved Reformation' also by O. Henry. It tells the story of a safecracker who tries to go straight but gets pulled back into his old ways in a rather humorous way. There's also 'The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County' by Mark Twain. The way the narrator gets caught up in the tall tales about the frog is really funny.
There are quite a few. 'The Importance of Being Earnest' by Oscar Wilde. Wilde's use of dialogue and the situations the characters find themselves in are highly comical. 'The Diary of a Nobody' is also a funny short fiction. It chronicles the ordinary but humorous life of Mr. Pooter. And 'Three Men in a Boat' by Jerome K. Jerome is a classic funny short fiction book about the misadventures of three friends on a boat trip.
One funny science fiction short story is 'The Star' by Arthur C. Clarke. It tells a story about a group of astronauts who make a discovery that challenges their religious beliefs in a rather comical way when you think about the implications. And 'The Pedestrian' by Ray Bradbury also has some subtly funny elements as it portrays a future society in an off - beat manner.
Well, 'The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County' by Mark Twain is also a funny short story in literary fiction. The narrator is sent to interview a man named Simon Wheeler, who then tells a long - winded and absurd story about a frog - jumping contest. Twain's use of humor and the vivid characters in this short story are quite remarkable.
Sure. There is a story about a lazy cat. The cat always found the warmest spot in the house to sleep. One day, it climbed onto the roof where the sun was shining just right. But it was so sleepy that it rolled off the roof and landed on a pile of leaves, unharmed. It just blinked and went back to sleep.
I recommend the following short stories to you:๐ 1. << Medicine of Sugarness >>: It tells the story of Hanazawa and Kari's childhood sweetheart. It's sweet and funny. 2.

Sure. 'The Gift of the Magi' by O. Henry is a great one. It's a short story about a young couple who are very poor but deeply in love. They each sacrifice their most precious possession to buy a gift for the other, and the ending is both ironic and heartwarming.
Sure. 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy' by Douglas Adams is a great one. It's full of absurd humor and strange adventures in space. Another is 'Good Omens' by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman. It has a very unique take on the apocalypse with lots of funny moments and interesting characters. And 'A Confederacy of Dunces' by John Kennedy Toole is also quite humorous, following the misadventures of Ignatius J. Reilly in New Orleans.
๐I recommend the following two short stories to you, both of which are funny! 1. "There are stars in the sky, and you are in my heart." It was a wonderful encounter between a tsundere star and an amateur screenwriter. From getting to know each other, to treating each other sweetly, there was also a funny story of a tomboy friend and a domineering CEO. 2. "This Green Plum is 30% Sweet"-This was the story of a cold, black-bellied, smart, and studious childhood sweetheart and a simple-minded green plum who had been held back for a year. It was full of sweet drama and hilarious love. I hope you like this fairy's recommendation. Muah ~ If you like the above novels, please let me know at any time!๐
I recommend " Bad Friend Follow Me " to you. This is a humorous novel that tells the story of a person who accidentally transmigrated to ancient times and tried his best to nurture a group of the world's best swordsmen, wealthy merchants, popes, and handsome men. There are also funny novels like " Transformed Game Girl,"" Transformed Beautiful Banshee," and " Transformed Twin Lolita." I hope you like my recommendations.๐
