There is this Sinhala funny short story. A Sinhala grandma was trying to use a new mobile phone. She thought the phone was ringing when it was actually the alarm she set by mistake. She started talking to it, saying 'Hello? Who is it?' and was really confused when there was no reply from the 'person on the other side'. When her grandson saw this, he couldn't stop laughing and then showed her how to use the phone properly.
Sure. Here is one. There was a Sinhala man who tried to teach his parrot to say 'Good morning'. But the parrot just kept saying 'Kohomba kade!', which means 'coconut shop' in Sinhala. Every time he said 'Good morning', the parrot would reply 'Kohomba kade!'. It was really funny.
Well, here's another one. A Sinhala man went to the market to buy some fish. He saw a very big fish and asked the seller how much it cost. The seller said a very high price. The man then said, 'Does this fish think it's a king? It should learn to be more affordable!' The humor lies in the way he personified the fish and his witty comment on the price.
Sure. One popular Sinhala short story is 'Maha Gedara'. It beautifully portrays the life and struggles within a traditional Sinhala family. Another is 'Gamperaliya' which gives insights into the changing rural Sinhala society.
I'm not sure specifically what you mean by 'Sinhala wife change stories'. It could refer to stories about Sinhala women's changes in different aspects of life like in their family roles, from traditional to more modern. For example, a Sinhala wife might have changed from being solely a homemaker to also having a career outside the home, which could lead to various stories of how she balances family and work, and how the family adapts to this new situation.
Another great one is 'Madol Doova' which also gives insights into the Sri Lankan way of life, especially that of the children and their adventures in a unique setting. It has been very popular among Sinhala literature lovers.
Sure. Here is one. A magician was walking down the street and turned into a grocery store. Another one is that a snail got mugged by two turtles. When the police asked what happened, the snail said, 'I don't know. It all happened so fast.'
One common theme is family. Often, there are funny situations that happen within a Sinhala family, like when kids play pranks on their elders or when elders misunderstand modern things. For example, a grandpa thinking a laptop is a new type of lunch box. Another theme is about daily life in the village or the city. Things like dealing with local shopkeepers or transportation can lead to humorous situations. For instance, the story of a man who missed his bus and then tried to chase it on foot while shouting at the driver to stop. And also, animals can be a theme. There are stories where a cat chases a dog instead of the other way around in a Sinhala neighborhood, which is quite funny.

There was a man who went to the doctor. He said, 'Doctor, every time I stand up quickly, I see Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and Goofy.' The doctor said, 'Well, I'm not sure what's wrong with you, but I think you're seeing Disney.' Well, here's another. A snail got mugged by two turtles. When the police asked him what happened, he said, 'I don't know. It all happened so fast.'

There was a lady who bought a parrot from a pet store. The parrot was always cursing and using bad language. She tried everything to make it stop. One day, she put the parrot in the freezer for a few minutes. When she took it out, the parrot shivered and said politely, 'I'm sorry for my bad language. I will be a good parrot now.' The lady was so surprised at how well this worked.
