Mark Twain's 'The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County' is also great. The narrator is sent to find a man named Leonidas W. Smiley, but instead gets a long - winded story about a frog - jumping contest. The local's colorful language and the absurdity of the whole frog - jumping situation make it a very funny classic short story.
Sure. 'The Gift of the Magi' by O. Henry is a classic funny short story. It's about a young couple who are very poor but deeply in love. The wife cuts off her long beautiful hair to buy a chain for her husband's watch, while the husband sells his watch to buy combs for his wife's hair. It has a humorous and touching ending.
There's 'The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County' also by Mark Twain. The story is told in a very comical way as a man tries to find out about a famous jumping frog from a rather talkative old man. And 'How Much Land Does a Man Need?' by Leo Tolstoy has some elements of humor in it. A peasant named Pahom has an insatiable greed for land and his journey to get more land ends in a rather ironic and somewhat humorous (in a dark way) conclusion.
One of the best funny classic short stories is 'The Gift of the Magi' by O. Henry. It's about a young couple who are very poor but deeply in love. The wife cuts off her long hair to buy a chain for her husband's watch, while the husband sells his watch to buy combs for her hair. It's humorous in the way their selfless gifts end up being ironically mismatched yet still show their great love.
Well, 'A Sound of Thunder' by Ray Bradbury is a classic short short story. It explores the idea of time travel and how small changes in the past can have huge consequences in the future. Also, 'The Most Dangerous Game' by Richard Connell is quite famous. It's a thrilling story about a man who becomes the prey in a sadistic hunt.
Sure. There is a story about a lazy cat. The cat always found the warmest spot in the house to sleep. One day, it climbed onto the roof where the sun was shining just right. But it was so sleepy that it rolled off the roof and landed on a pile of leaves, unharmed. It just blinked and went back to sleep.
Sure. 'The Necklace' by Guy de Maupassant is a great one. It tells the story of a woman who borrows a necklace to attend a ball and then loses it, and the consequences that follow. Another is 'A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings' by Gabriel García Márquez, which is full of magical realism elements. And 'To Build a Fire' by Jack London is also well - known, depicting a man's struggle against the harsh cold in the Yukon.
I recommend 101 Possibilities to Like You to you. It contains 101 short stories, each of which covers love, friendship, kinship, and so on, showing different possibilities in life.

If you like short stories, this book will not disappoint you. I hope you like this fairy's recommendation. Muah ~😗
😋I recommend the following two short stories to you, both of which are funny! 1. "There are stars in the sky, and you are in my heart." It was a wonderful encounter between a tsundere star and an amateur screenwriter. From getting to know each other, to treating each other sweetly, there was also a funny story of a tomboy friend and a domineering CEO. 2. "This Green Plum is 30% Sweet"-This was the story of a cold, black-bellied, smart, and studious childhood sweetheart and a simple-minded green plum who had been held back for a year. It was full of sweet drama and hilarious love. I hope you like this fairy's recommendation. Muah ~ If you like the above novels, please let me know at any time!😗
😋I recommend the following funny short school novels to you: 1. "Funny Campus: Five Radish and Five Pit"-It described five flower-like women meeting five grass-like men, and the funny life of the university. 2. The orange cat I picked up turned out to be a girl. The first time the male protagonist met the female protagonist, he was very angry. The female protagonist even left three paw prints. The new book was also very funny. 3. [Sword God's Unlimited Daily Life]-- The jokes were all in it. 4. "A woman dressed as a man to be the school hunk"-The female protagonist was the young master of the Ling family who lived like a prince, but she put on a man's coat and became the school hunk. A wonderful and funny campus romance was about to begin. I hope you like my recommendation. Muah ~
Sure. 'The Tortoise and the Hare' is a short and funny story. It tells about a hare who is overconfident in his speed and takes a nap during a race against a slow - moving tortoise, only to be beaten by the tortoise's steady pace. Another one is 'The Emperor's New Clothes'. The vain emperor is tricked into believing he is wearing magnificent clothes when in fact he is naked, which is really humorous.
