These are always fun to do.

  A fly flew through a room and landed on a window. It suddenly felt a strong draft and had just enough time to see that Notts County had let a late goal in again.

THE END



  A dog, called Dave, sat down tiredly in his box. He was only ten years old; he felt like he was seventy.

THE END



  There once lived a penguin. Apparently.

THE END


  Little Dennis had a problem. However, he kept it a secret, so the ingredients for a story stop there, really.

THE END



  Once upon a time, a little girl called Goldilocks tried out some hair growing lotion, but she missed and ended up with a lot of facial hair; she got bear’s porridge stuck in it.

THE END


 

Once upon a time they lived happily ever after.

THE END

Erm... Not quite sure what to make of this. I must admit the second story amused me no end. The others didn't really do anything for me, sorry.

Enjoyed the first two; in all honesty the rest did little for me. Still, you probably have to be the right mood. 
 
Reminds me of that Dad's Army episode. They're all camping out in a barn, it's dark, it's cold, and Pike is afraid. Frasier pipes up in that broad Scot's accent,'Did I tell ye the one aboot the owld empty barn?' He builds it up and up and in the end says: 'There was nuthin in it.' 
Happy days. 
 
Phil.

Liked the dog gag, but as with the others, not my cup of tea. Maybe it's a 12 pinter.

I liked the Goldilocks one best, but grinned at the dog one too.

Liked most of these, especially the penguin one.
