The story of the 'Scary Shadow'. A little boy was in his room at night. He saw a huge, menacing shadow on the wall. He was so scared that he hid under the covers. But then his mother came in with a flashlight. It was just his teddy bear's shadow made huge by the angle of the lamp. The boy laughed and hugged his teddy.
One common theme is friendship. For example, in stories where an animal makes friends with an unlikely character, like a mouse befriending a lion. They help each other out in different situations.
For kids, there's this story. A mouse saw a big piece of cheese in a mousetrap. It thought it could be really clever and just take the cheese without setting off the trap. So it tiptoed over. But as soon as it touched the cheese, the trap snapped shut on its tail. The mouse ran around in circles, pulling the mousetrap with it. Another story is about a little girl who painted her face like a clown with her mother's makeup. She thought she was going to a circus and started doing circus tricks in the living room. And there's a puppy that chased its own shadow all day long, thinking it was another puppy that was really good at hiding.
There were two siblings on Easter. The older sister told the younger brother that if he ate too many Easter eggs, he would turn into a real bunny. The little boy believed her and only ate one egg. But later when he saw his sister eating lots of eggs, he kept waiting for her to turn into a bunny. When she didn't, he got really mad at her for tricking him. It's a simple but funny Easter story.
Once there was a little boy who thought his dog could talk. Every time he made a noise, he believed the dog was answering him. One day, he asked the dog if he liked his new shoes, and the dog just barked. But the boy said, 'I'll take that as a yes!'
The joke about the snail. A snail gets mugged by two turtles. When the police ask him what happened, he says, 'I don't know. It all happened so fast.' This joke story is funny because it contrasts the slow - moving nature of a snail with the idea of something happening 'fast' and the unexpected situation of a snail getting mugged.
A cat went to the vet. The vet asked, 'Is this cat male or female?' The owner said, 'Well, I think it's male because he's lifting up his leg when he pees.' The vet said, 'Well, that's not necessarily true. My cat is female and she lifts her leg when she pees.' The owner replied, 'Oh. Well, why does your cat do that?' The vet said, 'She likes to show off she's been to the vet.' This is a light - hearted and funny story for kids with a bit of silly animal - related humor.
Another one is 'Goldilocks and the Three Bears'. Goldilocks enters the bears' house, tries their porridge, chairs, and beds until she finds the ones that are just right. When the bears come home, she runs away. It's a fun story that can also teach kids about respecting others' property.
Here's one. Little Johnny was in class and the teacher said, 'Whoever answers my next question can go home.' Suddenly, a pen fell on the floor. Little Johnny shouted, 'Oh, pick that up!' The teacher said, 'Who said that?' Little Johnny replied, 'Me, and now can I go home?' Another is a baby snake asked his mother, 'Mom, are we poisonous?' His mother said, 'Yes, son.' The baby snake said, 'I just bit my tongue!'
The story of 'Goldilocks and the Three Bears' is quite funny. Goldilocks enters the bears' house without permission. She tries their porridge, chairs, and beds. When the bears come back, they find Goldilocks in baby bear's bed. Goldilocks wakes up, is frightened, and runs away. It's a classic and humorous tale for children.
