A mad lib is a word game where you fill in the blanks of a story with words of your choice, without knowing the context of the story. The result is usually a funny and nonsensical story that can make you laugh. Here is an example of a mad lib:

One day, I went to the zoo with my best friend, [name]. We saw many animals, such as [animal], [animal], and [animal]. My favourite animal was the [adjective] [animal] that [verb] [adverb]. It was so [adjective]! My friend liked the [adjective] [animal] that [verb] [adverb]. It was very [adjective]! We also went to the gift shop and bought some souvenirs, such as [noun], [noun], and [noun]. We had a lot of fun at the zoo and we can't wait to go back again.
