3 funny short stories for seniors thatll raise a smile or two
The story lengths discussed on this page are a good guide. Usually, short stories are measured by word count, not the number of pages. This is because font size, type of font, spacing etc. can make the word count of a page vary considerably. Hi Chris, I have written 3 children’s books, I guess you would say Novellas. I self-published one for charity but after Lulu took their cut, there was very little left for the charity. It’s still up there, called Arrowroot the Goblin.

The advisor was interested to **** that the figure ‘0’ had been written in every daily report for the past year.

The third man nodded, and was thinking hard, struggling to recall the policy’s roots many years ago when he’d have been a junior in the despatch department. After a pause, the third man smiled and then ventured a suggestion. This widely used story is often told as if it’s a true story.
Computing task
Of course, being read to by a parent, for whatever reason, is also simply a lovely way to share quiet and close time. For your child to gain the maximum benefit and language learning from reading stories, consider the story’s language level carefully, too.

RSPB: MY FIRST BOOK OF GARDEN BIRDS
A well to do, upper-class lady enters the **** and presents the cashier a cheque which she asks to be paid into an account held by a different ****. The cashier duly tells the lady that there will be a charge of 50p. Indignantly, she tells him, “I wasn’t charged the last time.” The pianist sat down beside her, listened for a few seconds, and whispered some more words of encouragement. He then began quietly to play a bass accompaniment, and then a few bars later reached around the little girl to add more accompaniment.
