Anything by Hal Clement --- his _Space Lash_ collection was a big part of my childhood.

A recent and all-too likely topical one which is available on-line is Marshall Brain's _Manna_:

In my opinion, the best fantasy short story ever:
Ill Met in Lankhmar -- Fritz Leiber |

The Great Wall of Mexico by John Sladek, written in 1971 for Thomas Disch's anthology Bad Moon Rising: An Anthology of Political Forebodings. A rather goofy president builds a wall between the U.S. and Mexico.
It's not a great story but I found it amusing considering recent events. You can read it on SciFi.com by way of The Wayback Machine. The page formatting is broken and you'll need to highlight the text to read it. https://web.archive.org/web/20080430...dek/index.html |

Théophile Gautier's short stories are awesome. In French it's so beautifully written.
