12 and not stupid short stories: What could this phrase mean?

Stories that involve some kind of mystery or enigma could fit. For example, 12 short mystery stories where each one has a clever plot twist. They are not stupid because they make you think and try to figure out the solution.

Well, 'a long story short' is used when someone wants to skip all the details and give the main idea or conclusion quickly. For example, if you had a bunch of events to describe but didn't want to go into every little thing, you might say 'a long story short, I got the job.'

No, it's not a common phrase. 'Free' might imply freedom or being without charge. However, 'sexual sex stories' is a rather strange construction. It could potentially be an attempt at something like 'free from sexual stories' which would mean not being restricted or burdened by sexual tales, but as it is, it doesn't seem to have a clear, established meaning.

Well, they often involve characters with really silly ideas. Like in the story I just told about the man and the fish in the fountain.

A stupid girl might enter a competition without really knowing what it's about. For example, a singing competition. She thinks it's just for fun and doesn't practice. But when she sees how seriously the other contestants are taking it, she feels ashamed. So, she quickly tries to learn how to sing better. She asks the judges for advice during the breaks. In the end, she doesn't win but she has learned a valuable lesson about preparation.

I'm not entirely sure what 'tied up fed cock stories' specifically means as it's a rather unusual phrase. It could potentially be some very specific jargon in a particular context that I'm not familiar with.

It could mean that someone is rejecting a novel that has a 'be my hero' type of plot. Maybe they don't like the cliched idea of a hero - saving - the - day narrative in novels.

Most of these stories involve naive characters. Take a squirrel that thought it could store nuts in a balloon. It didn't realize that the balloon would pop and all the nuts would fall out. These stories are not meant to be serious but rather to make you laugh and relax before sleep.

A 'stupid short story' might be about a group of squirrels who decided to build a house out of leaves in the middle of a busy road. They were so focused on their leafy construction that they didn't notice the cars until the very last minute. They had to quickly abandon their project and scurry back to the safety of the trees.

It basically means that, despite a long or complicated explanation, home is the place that holds a special place in your heart.
