One is 'The Ransom of Red Chief' by O. Henry as well. In this story, two men kidnap a boy for ransom, but the boy is so mischievous and wild that he makes their lives a living hell. He enjoys being with them and even plays pranks on them constantly. Eventually, the kidnappers end up paying the boy's father to take him back. It's full of comical situations.
There is also 'The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County' by Mark Twain. A man is sent to find out about a man named Leonidas W. Smiley, but instead he gets a long - winded story about a jumping frog. The way the story is told with the narrator being led on this wild goose chase is quite funny.
There was an old lady who loved to knit. One day, she accidentally knitted her own hair into the scarf she was making. She didn't notice until she tried to take it off her head. She then had to cut a part of her hair to free herself. It was a hilarious situation that had everyone in stitches when she told the story.
There was an old timer who had a very old car. One day, it broke down in the middle of town. Instead of getting frustrated, he started telling passers - by stories about all the adventures he had in that car. How he drove it across the country when he was young, and how it was once stuck in a mud puddle for days. People gathered around, not to help with the car, but to listen to his funny and heartwarming stories.
Sure. 'The Tortoise and the Hare' is a great short old story. It's about a hare who is very confident in his speed and mocks the slow tortoise. But the tortoise, with his perseverance, steadily moves forward and eventually wins the race. It teaches us the lesson that slow and steady wins the race.
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.
😋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.
Well, here are some. There's a short story where a little boy tries to paint his dog blue to make it look like a smurf. Then there's the one where a group of squirrels start a 'nut - collecting Olympics' in the park. Also, a story about a grandma who accidentally uses her hairspray instead of cooking spray while making pancakes, which leads to a very crispy and hilarious situation.
Sure. Here is a funny short story. A man went to the doctor. He said, 'Doctor, I keep getting the feeling that I'm a deck of cards.' The doctor replied, 'I'll deal with you later.'
Henry James' 'The Turn of the Screw' is also an old ghost short story worth mentioning. It tells the story of a young governess who is in charge of two children in a large, isolated estate. She becomes convinced that the place is haunted by the ghosts of former servants, and the story is filled with ambiguity and psychological horror.
