Laughter knows no age, and sometimes, a short, funny story is just what we need to lighten the mood. Whether you’re a child or an adult, these stories are sure to bring a smile to your face.
1. The Talking Dog
A man walks into a house with a sign that reads, “Talking Dog for Sale.” Intrigued, he knocks on the door and asks the owner about the dog.
The owner says, “Yes, the dog can talk.”
The man asks the dog, “Can you really talk?”
“Yep!” the dog replies. “I used to work for the FBI as a secret agent, and I’ve been on some wild adventures.”
The man, amazed, asks, “How much for the dog?”
The owner responds, “Ten dollars.”
“Ten dollars? Why so cheap?” the man asks.
The owner shrugs, “Because he’s a liar. He never worked for the FBI!”
2. The Dog and the Cat
A dog and a cat are sitting next to each other at the park.
The dog says, “You know, I’ve always wondered… why do humans love us so much?”

The dog looks at the cat and says, “You’re cute, I’m lovable. That’s the difference!”

The boy smiles and says, “Well, at least it’ll be a short trip!”
5. The Forgetful Elephant

The little girl shrugs and says, “It’s okay. I’ll just eat this one and see if I like it.”
8. The Dog’s New Trick
