1.
The Wizard and the Wi-Fi
Grandmaster Zorak spent centuries mastering fireballs and teleportation.
But when he moved into a modern city, he discovered the greatest magic
of all: Wi-Fi. Unfortunately, every time he shouted “Connection!” the router
exploded, summoning a goat instead. His neighbors stopped complaining
once they realized the goats produced endless cheese.
2. The Talking Sword
Sir Roland proudly drew his ancient blade, ready to face the dragon. The
sword, however, yawned.
"Ugh, not again. Do you know how many lizards I’ve stabbed? My edge is
tired.”
The dragon blinked, tilted its head, and started laughing. Roland,
embarrassed, used the sword as a spatula for flipping dragon-sized
pancakes instead. Both knight and dragon agreed it was a much better
arrangement.
3. Potion Disaster
Apprentice mage Lira was told to brew a healing potion. She misread the
recipe and added pickles, hot sauce, and a spoonful of glitter. The result? A
potion that made anyone drink it break into uncontrollable disco dancing.
Even the king drank it by accident, and soon the entire castle was shaking
their hips under magical strobe lights.
4. The Lazy Dragon
The villagers lived in fear of the mighty dragon… until they realized it
refused to leave its cave. It ordered food delivery by sending smoke
signals, demanded “soft pillows only,” and threatened to Yelp-review the
knights if they disturbed its nap. Eventually, the dragon opened a bed-and-
breakfast inside its cave, offering “all-you-can-eat marshmallows, slightly
toasted by my breath.”
5. The Ghost Who Hated Boo
Casperina, a young ghost, had one problem: she absolutely hated saying
“Boo.” Every time she tried, it came out as “Moo,” making her sound like a
cow. Other ghosts teased her endlessly. But one night, she accidentally
scared away a band of grave robbers—because nothing is more terrifying
than a cow-shaped shadow mooing from the graveyard.
1. The Last Phone Call
At midnight, Alex’s phone rang. The screen showed his own number. He
answered, and a voice identical to his whispered:
“If you don’t hang up, I’ll turn around in ten seconds.”
The line went dead. A cold breath brushed the back of his neck.
2. The Twelfth Room
The family’s new house had 12 rooms on the floor plan, but only 11
doors. Weeks later, their child vanished in the middle of the night. The
next morning, a new door appeared in the hallway. Faint laughter echoed
from inside.
3. The Doll That Blinked
The porcelain doll always stared at the same corner of the room. One
night, the owner realized it had turned its gaze toward her instead. The
next morning, its eyes were blood-red. When she woke later, she was
seated on the floor, joints stiff and wooden—like a doll herself.
4. The Elevator
He pressed “9,” but the elevator stopped at “12.” The doors opened to a
flickering hallway. A woman with pitch-black eyes whispered:
“This isn’t your floor… yet.”
As the doors closed, she smiled—yet her reflection never appeared on the
glass.
5. The Mirror’s Delay
Sophia noticed her reflection was a second behind her movements. The
next day, the delay grew to five seconds. One night she woke up to see
her reflection already standing, walking toward her bed.
1. The Silent Monk
A young traveler asked a monk the meaning of life. The monk only smiled
and poured tea until the cup overflowed. The traveler grew angry: “Why
waste it?”
The monk whispered: “How can you receive wisdom if your mind is
already full?”
2. The River’s Lesson
A man cursed the river for sweeping away his boat. Later, thirsty, he
cupped his hands to drink from the same water. He realized: the river was
not enemy nor friend—it was simply itself, flowing.
3. The Candle and the Sun
A seeker lit a candle at dawn and prayed for light. His master laughed
gently and pointed at the rising sun:
“You ask for what already shines upon you. Do not mistake the small
flame for the true source.”
4. The Tree That Waited
Every autumn, a tree lost its leaves. It never despaired, for it knew spring
would return. Watching it, a lonely woman understood: endings are not
punishments—they are invitations to begin again.
5. The Shadow’s Gift
A boy hated his shadow, thinking it dark and ugly. One day, when night fell
and fear surrounded him, the shadow grew large and fierce, protecting
him. He learned: even what we reject within us can be our greatest
strength.
