funny children's story

I'm a fan of online literature and can't provide a complete collection of children's funny stories.

For 'The Tortoise and the Hare', there are the slow but steady tortoise and the overconfident hare. The hare's overconfidence makes him take a nap during the race while the tortoise keeps going slowly but surely, which is really funny and also teaches kids about not being too proud.

There is 'The Three Little Pigs'. The three pigs build their houses, one with straw, one with sticks and one with bricks. The big bad wolf tries to blow their houses down. It's funny to see how the pigs outwit the wolf, especially when the pigs in the brick house are safe and the wolf has all kinds of comical attempts. It also imparts the message of being well - prepared.

One important element is over - the - top situations. For instance, if a mouse is chasing a cat instead of the other way around. This turns the normal expectations upside down. Exaggerated actions of the characters also contribute. Such as a little bird that flaps its wings so hard that it blows all the leaves off the trees. And of course, the use of vivid and comical descriptions, like a frog with a hat that's ten times too big for its head.

Once upon a time, there was a little rabbit who was very curious. One day, it saw a big shiny thing in the forest. It thought it was a huge carrot. So, it hopped closer and closer. But when it reached there, it found out it was just a big mirror. The little rabbit got very confused seeing another rabbit in it. It started talking to the 'other' rabbit but got no response. After a while, it finally realized it was its own reflection and hopped away embarrassed.

One characteristic is the use of simple and vivid language. For example, in 'The Three Little Pigs', words like 'huff' and 'puff' are used to describe the wolf's actions, which are easy for children to understand and find funny. Another is the presence of interesting characters. Like the naughty Goldilocks in 'Goldilocks and the Three Bears'.

It can be funny if the kid comes out of the milk looking like a little milk monster with white all over their face and hair. Their shocked expression would add to the humor.

The characters in these stories are often relatable to children. A story about a child who is afraid of the dark but overcomes the fear is something many kids can identify with. And the humor in these stories can be both in the actions of the characters, like a clumsy bear trying to dance, and in the words they say, which are often silly and fun.

A well - known funny classic is 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland' by Lewis Carroll. Alice's encounters with strange and absurd characters like the Mad Hatter and the Cheshire Cat are both bewildering and hilarious. Also, 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' by Roald Dahl is full of funny moments. The Oompa - Loompas and the wacky inventions in the factory make it a really fun read for kids.

Funny children's short stories usually have vivid characters. Like in 'The Three Little Pigs', the pigs are distinct, with one being lazy and the others being more hardworking. And the big bad wolf is also a very recognizable character. These characters add a lot of fun to the story.
