I don't have a typical example of a 'dildo watching story' as it's not a common genre. But imagine a group of aliens visiting Earth and finding a dildo in a museum.

This is a really out - there example just to illustrate the idea.

Sure. There could be a story about a young boy who found a wallet full of money on the street. He was very poor and was tempted to keep it. But then he remembered that God is watching.

For example, a person claims that he has a pet dragon that can turn invisible at will. As you listen to this story, you are watching a cock and bull story.

In some medieval Christian hagiographies (stories of saints). Saint Anthony, for example, in the desert facing various temptations. He knew that God was watching his struggle. His story is about his perseverance in the face of these temptations, believing that God was observing his every move and his faithfulness.

Sure. For example, watching friends play a sport like soccer can be really fun. You can cheer for them from the sidelines and share in their excitement when they score a goal.

Another example is 'One Thousand and One Nights'. Scheherazade tells a series of stories to the king night after night within the framework of her own life - threatening situation. Each of the stories she tells contains other smaller stories sometimes. This complex narrative structure of stories within stories makes the collection very rich and engaging.

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.

A 'free be story' might go like this. There was a young girl who lived in a very strict and traditional town. She was told how to dress, how to talk, and what to believe.

Along the way, she met all kinds of interesting people, learned different cultures, and finally became a strong and independent woman. This story shows the idea of being free from social expectations.
