Can you give an example of a tall man story?

Sure. A boy might say, 'I saw a little dog that was as tall as a man when it stood on its hind legs. But then it shrank back to normal size really quickly.' This is a 'little tall story' as it has an element of exaggeration.

A fairy tale could be an example. The long part could be the detailed description of the hero's journey through the enchanted forest. The short part might be the quick exchanges between the hero and a helpful animal. And the tall part could be the final battle against the huge, terrifying dragon.

Sure. There was a family where the daughter was really into basketball. She grew very tall because of her athletic build. Her dad, on the other hand, was of short stature. When they played basketball together in the driveway, the daughter could easily dunk the ball while her dad had to jump really high just to reach the hoop. But they still had a great time together, and the dad was always her biggest fan.

The story of Johnny Appleseed is also considered a tall tale to some extent. While he was a real person who planted apple trees across America, the stories about him have been embellished over time. For instance, it's said that he walked across the country barefoot in the snow, with a sack of apple seeds on his back, and that animals would follow him everywhere, which are rather exaggerated details.

Sure. Consider the story of Malala Yousafzai. She stood up for girls' education in Pakistan despite great danger. After surviving an assassination attempt, she continued her fight. She can 'walk tall' based on this true story of her courage and determination.

Of course. Here's an example. I told my coworker a fish story where I was out fishing and a school of fish lifted my boat out of the water. This is a very far - fetched fish story that I gave him. It was a way to pass the time and have a laugh at work.

Sure. One example is the movie 'The Inside Man'. In this story, there is a bank heist. The inside man is a bank employee who helps the robbers in some way, like providing information about the security system or the bank's layout. It's a tense thriller as the police try to figure out what's really going on while the robbers and the inside man have their own plans.

One example could be the story of Jonah in the Bible. Jonah was a man who was swallowed by a big fish. It's a well - known story where a man is directly related to a fish in a very significant way.

Sure. There's a story where a middle - man named Jack works in the art market. He connects artists who need to sell their works with collectors. Jack has to deal with different personalities - some artists are temperamental and some collectors are very picky. One time, he had to convince a famous artist to sell a piece to a collector who was not well - known in the art world. It was a challenge for Jack as he had to balance the artist's reputation and the collector's enthusiasm.

Sure. A story about a local grocery store owner. He gets up early every day to open his store, serves the neighborhood customers, and deals with daily problems like supply shortages or difficult customers. His simple goal is to keep his business running and support his family.
