In the ghetto, there was a group of kids who loved to play basketball. One bedtime, they were still outside shooting hoops. Their moms called them in one by one. But one boy, named Malik, was so focused on making one last shot. He finally made it, and then ran inside. His mom was a bit mad but also proud. She told him a story about how she used to play basketball too when she was a kid. Malik listened with big eyes as he snuggled under his blanket, and soon he was fast asleep.
Once upon a time in the ghetto, there was a little boy named Jamal. He lived in a small, rundown apartment with his hard - working mother. Every night, before going to bed, Jamal would look out of his window and see the flickering streetlights. One night, he heard an old man playing a sad tune on a saxophone in the alley. The music seemed to tell a story of the struggles and hopes in the ghetto. Jamal closed his eyes and let the music carry him into his dreams, where he saw a better future for his neighborhood, with clean streets and happy families.
Once upon a time, there was a little pig named Benny. Benny loved to dance. One bedtime, he decided to have a dance party in his pen. He invited all the farm animals.

One real ghetto story could be about a young boy named Jamal. He grew up in a tough ghetto area. Despite the lack of resources and the presence of gangs, Jamal was determined to make something of himself. He found an old basketball in an alley and started practicing every day. Through his hard work and the support of a kind neighbor who saw his potential, he managed to get a scholarship to a small college. His story shows that even in the ghetto, there are glimmers of hope and the possibility for a better future.
Typically, there are characters with big dreams in a funny ghetto bedtime story. A kid might dream of becoming a famous rapper or a basketball star even though they live in a tough neighborhood. Also, the setting plays a huge role. The dilapidated buildings, the graffiti - covered walls, and the narrow alleys are all part of the backdrop. It can add to the humor when something funny happens against this backdrop, like a cat getting stuck on a fire escape on one of those old buildings. And then there's the humor that comes from the characters' reactions to difficult situations. They might laugh it off or come up with a crazy plan to fix things.
There was a couple, Jane and Mark. One night, as they were getting ready for bed, Mark accidentally sprayed hairspray instead of deodorant under his arms. When he realized what he had done, he started waving his arms around trying to get the smell out. Jane saw this and burst into laughter. Mark then joked that he was trying to create his own personal 'scented cloud' for a good night's sleep. They both laughed so much that they forgot about the initial annoyance.
Once upon a time, there was a little rabbit named Benny. Benny was very curious. One night, as he was getting ready for bed, he heard a strange noise outside. Instead of being scared, he decided to go and check it out. He hopped to the window and saw a group of fireflies dancing in the moonlight. They invited Benny to join them. Benny hopped around with the fireflies all night long, forgetting all about going to bed. When the sun started to rise, Benny realized he was very tired. He hopped back to his bed and fell asleep instantly, dreaming of his wonderful adventure with the fireflies.
Once upon a time, there was a little frog who lived in a tree. He didn't like water like other frogs but preferred to stay high up. One night, as he was about to go to sleep, a group of squirrels came knocking on his 'door' (a little hole in the tree trunk). They said they heard he could tell great stories. So, the frog began. He told them about a land where the trees walked and the clouds were made of cotton candy. The squirrels were so amazed that they all fell asleep right there. And the frog finally got some peace and quiet to sleep too.
In a small village, there lived a boy named Tom. Tom's pet was a talking parrot named Polly. One bedtime, Polly told Tom a story. She said that in a far - away land, there were houses made of candies. The roofs were made of chocolate, and the walls were gingerbread. But there was a sneaky witch who wanted to steal all the candies. The brave children of that land fought the witch with lollipop swords. Tom was so intrigued by the story that he almost forgot it was time to sleep. Eventually, he closed his eyes and dreamed of the candy land.
Once upon a time, there was a little mouse. He wanted to go to a party in the big house. But he was so small that he couldn't reach the doorknob. So he climbed on a cat's back without the cat noticing. The cat walked to the door and the mouse hopped off, opened the door and went to the party. The cat was left outside, very confused.
