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.

There is a story about a guy who worked late at the office. As he was leaving, he heard footsteps following him in the empty corridor. He was so scared. But when he turned around, it was his clumsy co - worker who had lost his keys and was trying to find them while walking in the same direction. This short story has that sudden shift from scary to funny.

The story of the clumsy owl is also great. The owl was so clumsy that when it tried to land on a branch, it ended up upside down. It flapped its wings in a panic and made the funniest noises. It's a very short and hilarious bedtime story.

There's a story about a snail. The snail was racing with a turtle. They decided to start at sunset and end at sunrise. The snail was so slow that when the sun rose, it thought it was just starting the race and shouted 'I'm going to win!'. And then it happily went back to its shell for a nap.

There could be a story where a group of friends go on a camping trip. They plan to cook a big meal but end up getting chased by a family of raccoons who steal all their food. They then have to figure out how to survive the night with no food and just their funny misadventures to keep them entertained.

Well, there could be a story about the beaver's encounter with a mischievous squirrel. The beaver's reactions to the squirrel's pranks are quite humorous. It shows how the beaver is so focused on its own beaver - like tasks and gets easily flustered by the squirrel's antics.

Sure. 'The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Tales' is a great one. It takes classic fairy tales and turns them into really funny and silly stories that kids love. 'Diary of a Worm' by Doreen Cronin is also very funny. It's told from the perspective of a worm and has lots of humorous situations about a worm's daily life. And 'Click, Clack, Moo: Cows That Type' is super cute and funny as the cows try to negotiate with the farmer using a typewriter.

Well, 'Caps for Sale' is a funny short story book for kids. The monkeys stealing the peddler's caps and the peddler's reaction is quite amusing. 'Llama Llama Red Pajama' has some cute and funny moments, especially when Llama Llama gets a bit fussy at bedtime. And 'Goodnight Moon' has a certain charm and humor in the way it describes the little rabbit's bedtime routine.

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.
