One funny moral could be 'Don't count your chickens before they hatch, or you might end up with egg on your face.' Another could be 'If you act like a donkey, don't be surprised when people treat you like one.' And also 'The early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese (without getting caught in the trap).'
One funny moral could be from the story of the hare and the tortoise. The moral 'Slow and steady wins the race' is quite funny in a way because it shows that overconfidence (like the hare) can be beaten by steady, persistent effort (the tortoise).
Funny morals can enhance a story by making it more memorable. For example, if a story has a moral like 'Don't be a copy - cat, be a cool - cat', it's easier to remember than a more serious and dull moral. It also adds an element of humor that can engage the reader or listener more. People are more likely to share a story with a funny moral, so it can increase the story's popularity.
Funny morals can make a story more memorable. For instance, if a story has a moral like 'Be careful what you wish for, you might end up with a pet elephant in your living room.' People are more likely to remember this than a dry, serious moral. It adds an element of surprise and humor that sticks in the reader's or listener's mind.
There's the story of the ant and the grasshopper. The moral 'be prepared for the future' is humorous in a way. The grasshopper was singing and having fun all summer while the ant was busy storing food. Then winter came and the grasshopper was starving. It's like a little cautionary tale that makes you laugh a bit at the grasshopper's folly. Another example could be from the story of the ugly duckling. The moral 'don't judge a book by its cover' is funny because everyone thought the duckling was ugly at first, but in the end, it turned out to be a beautiful swan.
One funny moral could be 'Don't count your chickens before they hatch, or you might end up with egg on your face.' It warns against overconfidence in a humorous way.
In 'The Ugly Duckling' story, the moral 'Don't judge by appearances' is presented humorously. The duckling is initially thought to be ugly but turns out to be a beautiful swan. The contrast between how it was treated as an 'ugly' duckling and its true nature as a swan is both funny and a great lesson for children.
One moral could be simplicity. Just like in the story where the master pointed at a flower in response to a complex question about life. It shows that we can find answers in the simplest of things around us.
Funny tales stories often have unexpected twists. For example, in 'Rumpelstiltskin', the little man's strange name and the way the girl outwits him at the end are quite unexpected. They also tend to have exaggerated characters. Like the big, bad wolf in 'The Three Little Pigs' who huffs and puffs so much. Another characteristic is the use of humor in the dialogue or the situations. In 'The Gingerbread Man', the gingerbread man's taunts as he runs away from various animals are very funny.
There was a case where someone astral projected into a theater. They saw a play being performed but things were going wrong. An actor forgot his lines and started making up the most ridiculous things. The astral projector was in stitches. They watched as the other actors tried to keep it together. It was a really funny experience for them and they often share this story when talking about astral projection.
