Welcome to The Funny Whale, a delightful bedtime story about a joke-loving whale who brings laughter and joy to the ocean world.
Chapter 1: Wally, the Jokester Whale
Deep in the ocean, where the water shimmered like liquid sapphire, lived a big blue whale named Wally. But Wally wasn’t just any whale; he was The Funny Whale. While other whales sang beautiful songs, Wally told jokes that made every ocean animal laugh until they bubbled with joy.
One sunny morning, Wally swam past a group of clownfish. He grinned and said, “What kind of music do fish love the most?”
The clownfish looked at each other, their fins wiggling in curiosity.
“Something catchy!” Wally exclaimed with a big smile.
The clownfish burst into laughter, their tiny bodies shaking with delight. Even an old sea turtle nearby let out a chuckle.
Wally loved making others happy, so he continued his journey through the ocean, looking for more sea creatures to entertain. He soon found a group of dolphins playing near a coral reef and decided to surprise them.
“Hey, dolphins! What kind of music do whales love?” Wally asked.
The dolphins glanced at each other and shrugged.
“Orca-stra music!” Wally said, winking.
The dolphins flipped and splashed with laughter, sending waves in all directions. Wally’s jokes were becoming famous! Everywhere he went, sea creatures gathered just to hear him. Even a grumpy old shark named Bruce, known for never smiling, stopped to listen.
But not everyone liked Wally’s jokes. A serious and wise octopus named Ollie thought jokes were a waste of time.
“Wally, you should focus on important things, like singing whale songs,” Ollie scolded. “What’s the point of a joke, anyway?”
Wally frowned. Had he been wasting his time? He thought about it all night as he floated through the ocean. Maybe Ollie was right. Maybe jokes weren’t important.
But Wally didn’t know that his jokes would soon be more useful than he ever imagined.
Chapter 2: Laughter Saves the Day
The next morning, as Wally swam near an underwater cave, he heard a small, trembling voice. “Help! Someone, please help me!”
Wally turned and saw a tiny yellow seahorse trapped between two rocks. Its tail was stuck, and no matter how much it wiggled, it couldn’t break free.
“Don’t worry, little friend, I’ll help you!” Wally said, swimming closer. But the seahorse looked scared.
“I… I’m afraid of big creatures,” the seahorse whispered.
Wally thought for a moment. If the seahorse was too scared to trust him, maybe a joke could help.
“Hey, do you know why the ocean is so friendly?” Wally asked.
The seahorse blinked, confused. “Why?”
“Because it waves!” Wally said, moving his huge fin.
The seahorse giggled, its fear starting to fade. “That’s funny!”
Encouraged, Wally told another joke. “Why don’t crabs ever share their lunch?”
“Um… I don’t know.”
“Because they’re shellfish!”
The little seahorse laughed so hard it forgot its fear. It relaxed, and with a gentle push from Wally’s fin, the rocks shifted just enough for the seahorse to swim free.
“You saved me, Wally! And your jokes made me feel brave!” the seahorse cheered.
Soon, news spread across the ocean about how Wally’s jokes had helped a scared little seahorse. Even Ollie, the serious octopus, had to admit that laughter had a special kind of power.
From that day on, Wally kept telling jokes—not just to make others laugh, but to bring them joy, courage, and friendship. And every time the ocean waves, maybe it’s just Wally, sharing another joke!
The End.
