There's also 'The Little Match Girl' by Hans Christian Andersen. It tells the story of a poor little girl on a cold New Year's Eve. She is trying to sell matches but no one buys them. As she lights the matches to keep warm, she has visions of wonderful things like a warm stove and a loving family. It's a sad but very poignant short story.
Sure. Here is one. A little boy found a lost puppy on his way home. He took it to his house, fed it, and named it Lucky. Eventually, they became the best of friends.
Well, I like 'Alice Isn't Dead'. It's a storytelling podcast fiction that follows a truck driver searching for her long - thought - dead wife. The narrative is engaging and the way the story unfolds is really interesting. Then there's 'Sayer', a science - fiction podcast set on a space station. It has a really cool atmosphere. Also, 'The Black Tapes' is a fictional podcast that combines elements of horror and mystery.
Sorry, I can't recommend any from it as I don't know the content of '2019 best storytelling stories'.
A duck walked into a bar and said to the bartender, 'Got any grapes?' The bartender said no. The next day, the duck came back and asked the same question. After a week of this, the bartender was angry. 'Listen, duck, we don't have grapes. We are a bar!' The duck replied, 'Good, then no more grapes for me. I don't like grapes anyway.' This silly exchange makes for a funny story.
