There was an old man in a Hindi town. He had a donkey. One day, he painted his donkey with different colors to make it look like a zebra. He took the donkey to the market. People were very surprised and gathered around. One person asked, 'Is this a new kind of animal?' The old man said, 'Yes, it's a very special animal from far away.' But then the donkey made its usual 'hee - haw' sound and everyone realized it was just a painted donkey and they all had a good laugh.
Once there was a little boy in a Hindi village. He wanted to buy some sweets. He went to the sweet shop and said to the shopkeeper, 'Give me a big laddu.' But the boy had very little money. The shopkeeper said, 'You don't have enough money for a big laddu.' The boy then said, 'Then just give me the big laddu and I will pay you the rest later when I grow up!' Everyone in the shop laughed at his innocence.
There was a village idiot in a Hindi story. He was always doing strange things. One day, he saw a balloon seller. He thought the balloons were some kind of magical fruits.

Once, Hanuman was sent to bring the Sanjeevani herb. He wasn't sure which one it was exactly. So, he just uprooted an entire mountain. When he was flying back, some of the herbs were falling down. The monkeys below were trying to catch them. One monkey, in his excitement, caught a bunch of leaves thinking it was the herb but it turned out to be just regular leaves. It was really funny how the whole situation was so chaotic yet so important for saving Lakshmana's life.
Once there was a Hindi man who went to the market to buy a chicken. He asked the seller, 'How much for this chicken?' The seller said, '50 rupees.' The man said, 'But it's so small! I'll give you 30.' The seller refused. So the man started making chicken noises, clucking and flapping his arms, saying, 'Look, it's not a big chicken. It should be cheaper!' The seller was so amused that he sold it to the man for 30 rupees just to get rid of his silliness.
In a Hindi village, there was a barber. One day, a very rich man came to get his hair cut. The barber was so excited to serve such an important customer. He started talking non - stop while cutting the hair. He told the rich man all kinds of stories, some of which were really funny. For example, he told about a cat that thought it was a tiger and tried to roar at the dogs. The rich man was so entertained that he gave the barber a big tip.
There was a Hindi man who went to a barber. The barber was new and a bit clumsy. He started cutting the man's hair and accidentally cut off one of his eyebrows. The man was shocked.

There is a Hindi story about a donkey. The donkey thought he was very smart. One day, he saw a horse running fast and pulling a cart. The donkey thought, 'I can do that too.' So he went and tried to pull the cart. But instead of running straight, he went in circles. The owner of the cart said, 'You are not a horse, you silly donkey!' This is a simple yet funny joke within a Hindi - story context.
Once upon a time, there was a fox and a stork in a Hindi story. The fox invited the stork to dinner. The fox served soup in a flat plate. The fox lapped up the soup easily, but the stork with its long beak couldn't eat. So, the stork invited the fox to dinner the next day. The stork served food in a long - necked jar. The stork could easily eat with its long beak, but the fox couldn't reach the food with its short muzzle. It was a funny situation that taught the fox a lesson about being considerate.
One popular Hindi folktale is about a clever fox and a stupid crow. The crow had a piece of cheese in its beak. The fox, being very sly, flattered the crow saying how beautiful its voice must be. The crow, feeling proud, opened its beak to sing and the cheese fell down right into the fox's mouth. It shows how vanity can lead to loss.
There was a story of a lazy donkey. The donkey's owner wanted it to work in the fields. But the donkey always found excuses. One day, it pretended to be sick. The owner called the vet. The vet said there was only one cure - to make the donkey run around the field ten times. As soon as the vet left, the donkey started running so fast as if it was never sick. It's really funny how the donkey tricked itself in the end.
