Here's a story for kids:

Once upon a time, there lived a chicken named Chuck. He loved to tell jokes and was known as the funniest chicken in the barnyard. One day, Chuck decided to use his comedy skills to help his friends escape a yoke that they were all tied to.

He started telling jokes and making everyone laugh so hard that they all woke up from their sleep. Suddenly, the yoke broke and they were all free! However, Chuck's jokes were so funny that they continued to laugh until they started to choke.

Chuck quickly realized that he had to do something to help his friends, so he poked them and spoke soothing words until they finally stopped choking. From that day forward, Chuck made sure to only tell jokes at appropriate times and never again made his friends choke with laughter.

The end.
