People tell jokes because they want to make others laugh and feel happy. Jokes are like magic tricks, they surprise us, and that makes us smile. When people laugh together, it helps them bond, just like when friends play a game or share a secret.
Examples
- A kid tells a funny story at school, and everyone laughs together.
- Your uncle tells a joke during dinner, and it makes the whole table happy.
- You tell a friend a joke on the bus, and you both laugh all the way home.
