great funny true stories

You can find them from your family members. Grandparents especially have a treasure trove of such stories from their own lives or from the past generations. For example, they might tell you about the time when they had a funny encounter with a neighbor's strange pet.

There was this little girl at a grocery store. She saw a bunch of bananas and thought they were giant fingers. She started yelling 'Look at those big fingers!' Everyone around was laughing so hard. It was so innocent and funny, and it was a true event that the store owner told later.

They often have unexpected elements. For example, a character might do something completely out of the ordinary. Like a cat that suddenly starts barking like a dog.

Try this: 'Bought shoes. Wrong size. Doh!'

One funny story is about a Great Dane who thought he was a lap dog. Despite his huge size, he would try to curl up on his owner's lap every evening while they watched TV. His long legs and big body would spill over, but he was so determined that it was hilarious.

Once, my friend thought he could impress everyone by doing a skateboard trick. He climbed up a ramp, tried to do a flip, but ended up falling flat on his face. It was so funny yet true.

One important element is relatability. If the story is about an ordinary person in an extraordinary situation, like a cashier who becomes a famous singer. People can relate to the starting point of being ordinary. The humor can come from the unexpected twists and turns in the story. For instance, the cashier might have had a really bad audition at first but made a hilarious comeback. And the inspiration lies in the transformation, which encourages others to pursue their dreams.

Sure. One funny story is about a dog who chased its own tail. The dog thought its tail was a separate little creature and just kept running in circles trying to catch it. It was so silly yet adorable.

One great animated true story is 'The Wind Rises'. It tells the story of Jiro Horikoshi, the man who designed Japanese fighter planes during World War II. The movie beautifully animates his life, his dreams, and his struggle between his passion for flight and the reality of war.

One great book of true stories is 'The Diary of a Young Girl' by Anne Frank. It tells the true and harrowing story of a young girl in hiding during the Holocaust. Another is 'Unbroken' which details the amazing survival story of Louis Zamperini. And 'Into the Wild' is also a notable one, about a young man's journey into the Alaskan wilderness.
