Once there was a cat who thought he was a dog. He chased his own tail all day, thinking it was a squirrel. And then there's the story of a bee who was always late for work. His excuse? He had to wait for the buzz stop.
Sure. Here's one: A fish went to a party. When it left, it said, 'Oh, sea you later!' Another one: A snail bought a new car. He got in and it took him two hours to get out of the driveway.
Sure. Here's one. A magician was walking down the street and turned into a grocery store.
Sure. Here is one. Once upon a time, a little rabbit wanted to count stars before going to bed. But every time he counted one, he sneezed and forgot which number he was at. So he just said, 'Good night, stars!' and went to sleep.
Once upon a time, a little frog was so tired. He found a lily pad to sleep on. But just as he was about to close his eyes, a fish jumped out of the water and said 'boo!'. The frog was startled and slipped into the water. He swam back up and said 'You nearly gave me a heart attack!'. Then they both laughed and the frog finally fell asleep.
There was a little bird who lived in a tree. Every night, he would tell himself a story. One night he said, 'I flew over a big mountain today and saw a beautiful lake. There were so many fish in the lake. I was so tired after that long flight, but it was worth it.' As he was talking, his eyes became heavier and heavier, and soon he was fast asleep.
Here is one. A little mouse wanted to have a grand bed. He found an old sock in a meadow. He thought it would be a great bed. He dragged it to his hole. But when he got in, it smelled so bad. It turned out the sock belonged to a smelly old boot. The mouse quickly ran out and found some clean straw to make a simple but nice bed instead.
Sure. Here is one. A little rabbit once thought his ears were too long and decided to tie them up with a ribbon. But then he couldn't hear well. When a fox came near, he didn't notice until the fox almost stepped on him. He quickly untied the ribbon and hopped away. The moral is that we should accept ourselves as we are.
They are brief. Usually, just a few sentences can tell the whole story. For example, 'A frog wanted to be a prince. He kissed a lot of things but just got warts.' It gets to the funny point quickly without a lot of build - up.
Sure. Once there was a cat that tried to jump on a shelf but miscalculated and ended up in a box of feathers. It came out looking like a white, fluffy ball and was so confused. Another one is about a man who went to the dentist. He was so nervous that when the dentist said 'Open wide', he opened his arms wide instead.
Sure. Here is one: The little star was lonely in the sky. One night, it saw a child looking up. The star twinkled extra bright and the child smiled. Then the star wasn't lonely anymore. Good night.
Once there was a magician who was walking down the street and turned into a grocery store. Well, just kidding. Here is a real story. There was a man who tried to teach his dog to play the piano. He spent weeks on it. One day, the dog finally sat at the piano and started hitting the keys with his paws. It was a complete mess but super funny.
