"The Autobiography of Methuselah" by John Kendrick Bangs is a funny story of Methuselah, a really old guy from the Bible, who's telling us about his life from when he was born to when he got old. He talks about his family, like Adam and Eve, and what it was like way back then, but in a funny way. As he starts writing his life story at 965 years old, he remembers being born during a storm and how his dad's jokes made him see life in a silly way. He shares stories about his childhood, his family, and how weird things were back in ancient times, making it a fun trip through history.
