Enjoy Reading An Interesting Funny Children’s Story

As a child I remember being addicted to books that helped me to enter a whole new world. This world was always full of fantasy and magic, one where the good always scored over the evil. There were many children’s stories that taught so many lessons that are best imbibed at an early age. These stories were interesting with a touch of humor and always entertaining to read. Here, I shall present an interesting funny children’s story that is an attempt to interest children to enjoy reading as a hobby as well as, learn a new lesson to mold them into a better person for tomorrow.

An Interesting Funny Children’s Story:
Little Amanda was on her usual walk by the woods. She loved this time of the evening, the beautiful yellows and reds of the flowers contrasted well upon the green leaves. Little Amanda was engrossed in her thoughts and this evening she took on a different path that led her towards the insides of the woods. (Amanda was well aware of her mother’s warnings to avoid that path.) Suddenly, breaking free from her thoughts, Amanda realized the trees looked greener and darker and the atmosphere suddenly seemed dull and gloomy. Terrified she looked around to find her way back. As she raced across the ground, she ran helter-skelter in any direction. Finally tired, she lay beneath a large tree.

To her amazement, a little goblin ran towards her. He beckoned her to follow him. The goblin had a rough appearance and a mean expression. Terrified, she followed him quietly. Amanda knew not what it was and walked slowly behind him. As he approached a clearing, Amanda saw a strange sight. There were pretty little cottages and neat driveways. Goblins were having a merry time laughing and gorging on pies and cakes. Suddenly, Amanda stiffened. By her right, she saw a group of little children like her, toiling away and clearing the garden. They were dressed in tattered clothing and few of them were weeping bitterly. Amanda realized she had also become a slave to these rather mean goblins. Just as she realized the truth, the goblin grabbed her by the arm and pushed her roughly towards the sad children. Perplexed, there was only one thought that ran through her mind, ‘How shall I escape with all these girls and boys?’

Amanda was asked to change into rags and forced to join the groups of little boys and girls. She toiled till dinnertime cleaning all the doors and windows of the house that belonged to the horrid goblin. Hungry, she tugged the sleeve of the goblin hoping for some food. He pushed a stale loaf of bread under her nose and said, ‘That’s your meal for the night’. A rather tired Amanda was pushed into a messy room with other children for the night. Weeping, she collapsed onto a pile of straw. Suddenly she remembered her kind mother’s words about every problem having a solution. She decided she would solve this rather than weep over it. Prayers were something she believed in and she knelt down on the floor in hope for some answer.

Suddenly, there was a slight sound and Amanda opened her eyes to see a beautiful fairy seated before her. The fairy held her hand gently and told her there is way out. The horrid goblin stored all his magical powers in a beautiful porcelain doll and this doll, once broken, would free them from the clutches of the goblins.

Amanda thought deeply about this porcelain doll. ‘It must be in this house itself and close to him’ she pondered. By midnight, she happened to escape from a small window and enter the house from the backside. Her search gave her no fruitful results. That was when she entered the bedroom of the bad goblin and happened to see it by his bedside, a tall beautiful porcelain doll, radiant in the moonlight that streamed in from the window.

Scared and excited, she lunged for it but woke up the goblin as she bumped into his wooden bed. In a rage the goblin attacked her but Amanda was quicker. Throwing the doll outside the window, she yelled with happiness. The moment it crashed Amanda felt someone push her!

Startled she looked around to find her kind mother looking towards her with great surprise. ‘Why did you just throw your favorite doll around? Were you having a bad dream?’, asked Amanda’s mother. Amanda woke up bleary eyed and was pleased to find herself back in her room. Her mother than warned her, ‘How many times I have told you to avoid the woods? Do not venture towards that area’. Amanda answered meekly, ‘Yes’. Her mother further said rather sternly, ‘besides, you must not gorge so much on sweets and pies during meal times. A balanced meal is what it should be.’

Agreeing meekly, Little Amanda rushed out into the garden to play with her doll. And lo and behold, there was a tiny note placed there near the gooseberry bush that said ‘Thank you for freeing us from the bad goblins. Please accept our token of thanks!’ Amazed Amanda wondered it this was true or was it the result of too many pies and cakes! She found a tiny fairy doll beside the bush. Perplexed, she picked it up and walked back to her room. She realized from this very day, she should obey her mother and avoid going to places that were considered inappropriate. Nor would she gorge on sweets or ever be greedy at meal times! Probably this was a funny way of learning a lesson for little Amanda. If not for the kind fairy, Amanda would have still been stuck with other girls and boys toiling away for the horrid goblin.

I think that was a well-deserved lesson for Amanda. I would not want to bump into that horrid goblin! I am sure you don’t want to as well, don’t you?

Fortunately, most of us can help them, but in order for that to really take place, what needs to happen is we need to be able to really relax, and help ourselves first.

Now, the fact is, that unless you have the right attitude, you will not make it possible for yourself to really enjoy your life or help those that need help, because you will simply not have the power to do so. The one thing that can cause you to really change your attitude and feel better about your life is laughter. If you are able to find funny stories, then you can introduce some comedy into your life.

You cannot pretend, that there is not bad things going on in life all the time, but you can definitely decide how you are going to approach them. You can decide how you are going to look at life and people around you. You can even decide, how you are going to consider yourself and your own life. The more successful you think you are, the more you'll laugh, and the more funny things will happen.

 

Interesting Tips On How To Write A Funny Short Story

When it comes to writing funny stories, long or short, one should be very careful about the characters and the way the story idea is written and built upon. Keep in mind that what may seem funny to you, may end up hurting someone else's feelings and sentiments. For example, creating a character that is physically unfit and making fun of that particular character for making the story funny, would rather portray your insensitivity instead of your sense of humor.

You will be honored and appreciated for your funny short story ideas only when you would be able to tickle the funny bone of your readers without creating a 'soft target'. Take the animated show 'South Park' for example, they make fun of each and every possible thing on this planet, which is why the show is dealing with a lot of controversies. So make sure that the stories you build on should be such that everyone reads them without getting offended. So now that we know what kind of ideas that we should incorporate, let us have a look at some interesting tips on how to write a funny short story.

Well, there are many themes on which you can base the story at. You can either create fictional characters and create a completely unrealistic fairy tale like story. Take characters like Simpsons, Tom and Jerry for example. Or you can keep the characters like normal everyday life people and show how their normal everyday life is filled with humor and laughter. An example for the same would be series like Two and a Half men, Friends etc. Now the real challenge comes when you have to give the readers something new and unexpected. Refreshment is what makes a story popular and demanding. You can also just build a story on some situation and jot down the humor that arises from the confusion residing in the situation. All these funny short story approaches are explained in detail below.

Unrealistic Ideas for Funny Short Stories
By unrealistically funny short story ideas, I don't mean to write stories based on characters, theme and location that simply may not make the readers believe you, and how do you expect them to find the story funny if the basic element is missing, which is the 'believing or convincing' element! However, when we read stories or comics with characters which can fly, lift buildings and mountains and speak all funny dialogs to make us laugh, we still agree that even though these characters are just imagination, the writing style makes us believe that the characters are real enough to be laughed upon.

Not only this, an advantage that the writer has in writing unrealistic stories is that he can make the character extremely unique and interestingly funny by adding some elements that can otherwise not be added in a reality based character. An example for the same would be stories like Ratatouille, wherein a rat named Remy wanted to be a Chef and could talk to the great chef Gusteau in his mind. His journey in reaching the biggest restaurant in the City from the rat holes not only shows a great sense of inspiration, but also the writing style shows a great degree of humor. On the other hand, stories like Madagascar with funny characters like King Julian, Moto-Moto, the Penguins, make their serious journey turn into a journey of fun and frolic, making you laugh almost all the time.

Reality Based Idea for Funny Short Stories
By funny short story ideas based on realistic approach, I mean that writers should take inspiration from characters based on real life. You are not talking about a rat who can cook better than humans, or a bunch of penguins who can ride anything from a car, to a ship to a plane. We are talking about real characters and humor based on reality. By using this approach, the writers also can make the readers widen their horizon and sense humor in some tensed situation. If through your story, you can teach people as to why laughter is known as the best medicine, there can be nothing more rewarding than that.

You can find a lot of humor even in some critical situations, and with the gift of writing, you can actually turn your observation into a beautifully written funny short story. An example for the same would be this, Once there was an old man who was flying from Boston to Denver with his cat. The cat was obviously kept in the pet section along with other pets. When the old man arrived Denver, he didn't get his cat along with the luggage and was extremely worried about it. "I want my cat back or else I am going to sue this airline", the old man shouted at the airline agent.

The baggage department was in a chaos and were wondering where did the cat go! Alas, they found the cat in her cage, but to their surprise, the cat was dead. The baggage authorities were already feeling guilty of making their valuable customer upset. "He will blow the airport if he finds out that his cat is dead", an airline agent told another. So they decided to replace the dead cat with a live one. With lots of troubles, the airline finally got the cat back to the old man. The old man looked at the cat and screamed, "This ain't my cat, you morons! My cat was dead and I brought him home to get him buried!" This is what you call a funny short story idea with a twist. Funny wasn't it?

You can also get a lot of interesting ideas just by looking at your daily life and the people in it. What is it that makes you laugh your teeth out? What is it that you can't help but think and laugh? The best and most convincing funny stories are the ones that are inspired from your own experiences. So think about it, make characters which are inspired from the real life characters, create some situations which will make the character act or talk something funny and create a story based on your imagination.

It is also advisable to start and complete the story at a single sitting or else you may end up losing the flow of the story. It shouldn't be a problem for you because this is a short story you are writing and not a huge essay! So start looking around, try and widen your imagination, think of the moment that made you laugh the most, and write all of these in the form of a funny story so that everyone goes on laughing at its narration. All the best!

The Most Embarrassing Moments!

Let’s face it – we’ve all had our share of embarrassing moments. Just be thankful that none of them were as humiliating (and hilarious!) as these:

 

"A lady picked up several items at a discount store. When she finally got up to the checker, she learned that one of her items had no price tag. Imagine her embarrassment when the checker got on the intercom and boomed out for the entire store to hear, ‘PRICE CHECK ON LANE THIRTEEN, TAMPAX, SUPER SIZE." That was bad enough, but somebody at the rear of the store apparently misunderstood the word 'Tampax' for ‘THUMBTACKS.’

 In a businesslike tone, a voice boomed back over the intercom: ‘DO YOU WANT THE KIND YOU PUSH IN WITH YOUR THUMB OR THE KIND YOU POUND IN WITH A HAMMER?’

"A mother was taking a shower when her2 year old son came into the bathroom and wrapped himself in toilet paper. Although he made a mess, he looked adorable, so she ran for my camera and took a few shots. They came out so well that she had copies made and included one with each of their Christmas cards. Days later, a relative called about the picture, laughing hysterically, and suggesting that she take a closer look. Puzzled, the mother stared at the photo and was shocked to discover that in addition to her son, she had captured her reflection in the mirror wearing nothing but a camera!"

"A woman and her sister were at the mall and passed by a store that sold a variety of nuts. As they were looking at the display case, the boy behind the counter asked if they needed any help. The woman replied, "No, I'm just looking at your nuts." The sister started to laugh hysterically, the boy grinned, and she turned beet red and walked away."

An introvert went to bar and spots a pretty looking woman sitting on the stool. He mustered all his courage for long time, then timidly approached and asked her, "Ma’ am, would be OK if sit here and talk with you?" She was alert, suspecting this man, and responds by yelling, "No, I won't sleep with you tonight!"

Customers in the bar started staring at them. The embarrassed guy quickly returns to his table dejected and ashamed. 

The young woman waits for a while and then goes to the guy to apologize. With a smile on her face she says, "I am sorry if I embarrassed you. You see, I am a college student in psychiatry and I am putting together a thesis as to how people react to embarrassing moments." The cunning guy now yells loudly, "What do you mean by $500?"
