Once, a dog got into a box of flour. When it came out, it was completely white, like a little ghost dog. It ran around the house, leaving white paw prints everywhere. Its owner couldn't stop laughing. Another great story is about a dog that tried to imitate the meow of a cat when it heard a cat outside. It was quite a sight to see a dog trying to meow in its own way.
There's a cat that used to perch on top of the TV. One day, during a really exciting football game, it jumped right in front of the screen as if it wanted to join in. And then there was a cat that managed to open the refrigerator door by itself and helped itself to some leftover chicken. It was quite a sight to see the cat sitting in the fridge with a piece of chicken in its mouth.
A fish went to a library and the librarian said, 'Can I help you?' The fish said, 'Yes, I'm looking for a book about fish.' The librarian said, 'Do you want it in water?' This is a simple and funny story for kids. It plays on the idea of a fish's need for water in an unexpected context.
There was a bear that walked into a bar and said, 'Give me a whiskey... and a cola.' The bartender said, 'Why the big pause?' The bear replied, 'I don't know, I was born with them.' And here's another. A snail got mugged by two turtles. When the police asked him what happened, he said, 'I don't know. It all happened so fast.'
Sure. Here is one. A magician was walking down the street and turned into a grocery store. Another one: A bear walks into a bar and says, 'Give me a whiskey... and a cola.' The bartender asks, 'Why the big pause?' The bear says, 'I'm not sure; I was born with them.'
The story of the Frisbee is also quite interesting. The original Frisbee was based on a pie tin from the Frisbie Pie Company. College students used to throw the empty pie tins around for fun. Eventually, someone saw the potential in it as a proper toy and developed it into the Frisbee we know today.
The first element is the unexpected. For example, when a Methodist preacher says something completely out of the ordinary during a sermon in a funny way. Another is the use of relatable characters. Just like the regular church - goers in Methodist churches who we can all identify with. Their little quirks and mistakes can be really humorous.
A funny story is when Akbar asked Birbal to find a man who was both the smartest and the dumbest in the kingdom. Birbal went and brought a man. Akbar was puzzled. Birbal said, 'This man is the smartest when he keeps his mouth shut, for then no one can tell if he is stupid. And he is the dumbest when he starts to talk, as he often says foolish things.'
There was a little boy who loved to ask questions. One day he asked his father, 'Dad, why do some of your hairs turn grey?' His father replied, 'Well, every time you do something wrong and make me sad, one of my hairs turns grey.' The boy thought for a while and then said, 'Oh, now I know why grandpa's hairs are all grey.'
The fact that they are true. We often find real - life situations that are so absurd and funny that they can be more entertaining than made - up stories. For example, the time when a cat chased a dog around the park and the dog was so scared. It shows the unexpected things that can happen in our daily lives.
