Well, not exactly one line, but close enough. These three jokes are meant for young kids, the type of thing you might find on the back of a kid’s cereal box.
Beginner Chinese Reading Practice: Super Simple One LinersThe punchline of the last joke, “I Won’t Let You Die”, hinges on the Chinese slang [verb]\u6b7b\u4e86 s\u01d0le\uff0cwhich doesn’t actually have anything to do with death, but rather means “very”. For example, \u997f\u6b7b\u4e86, literally “die from hunger”, means “very hungry”, similar to the English phrase “I’m starving to death!” In this case, the phrase is \u9ad8\u5174\u6b7b\u4e86, “happy to death”, or “very happy”.

POPSICLE
The day started out quite cold, and 5-year-old LiQuan went to the market with his mother. LiQuan wanted his mother to buy him a popsicle to eat, but mama said that eating a popsicle in cold weather would make his little stomach hurt. LiQuan said, “Then buy me a popsicle and we’ll take it back to the house and have grandma heat it up before I eat it.”
ONE LABEL
Meimei had just begun her first year of school, and she was always losing her school supplies [lit: writing tools, such as pens, pencils, etc.], so her mother went and bought a lot of self-adhesive labels, stuck her [Meimei’s] name on all her things, and told her seriously, “Whatever has your name stuck to it is yours. Now you won’t lose your things, and other people who pick them up can give them back to you.”
Meimei prom<\/em>ptly wrote out a label, stuck it on her mother’s cheek, then said to her father and older brother, “Mama is mine now, you can’t take her.”
I WON’T LET YOU DIE
Son: “Father, if I’m ever first in my class, what would you do?”
Father: “Well, I’d be so happy I’d die!”
Son: “Father, you don’t need to worry unnecessarily, I’m a filial son, I won’t let you die.”
