this is a funny story

A synonym like 'entertaining' fits well. Here's an entertaining story. A cat went to a computer store. He walked up to the salesperson and said, 'I need a mouse for my computer.' The salesperson was so confused at first. It's a simple yet funny scenario.

A dog went to the park. It saw a squirrel and immediately chased it. But the squirrel climbed up a tree. The dog, not understanding that it couldn't reach the squirrel up there, started barking at the base of the tree non - stop. Then it tried to climb the tree too. It managed to get its front paws on the trunk but just slid back down. It was a really funny sight as the dog kept trying again and again with great enthusiasm.

Sure. Well, once there was a dog who thought he was a cat. He would try to climb trees and meow at birds. It was hilarious to see his confused face when he couldn't quite get the hang of it like a real cat.

Without seeing the passage, it's difficult to say exactly. But usually, things like witty dialogue, comical actions of the characters, or absurd plot twists can make a story funny. For instance, if the story has a character who always says the wrong thing at the wrong time, that can be really humorous. Or if there's a situation where the characters' plans go completely awry in a very unexpected way, that would also add to the humor.
