Sure. 'The Gift of the Magi' by O. Henry is a great man short story. It tells the story of a young couple who are short on money but deeply in love. The wife cuts and sells her long hair to buy a chain for her husband's precious watch, while the husband sells his watch to buy combs for his wife's beautiful hair. It's a touching story about sacrifice and love.
One possible short story named 'Never Lie' could be about a young boy who always tells the truth no matter what. For example, he might be in a situation where lying would seem easier, like when he breaks a vase and his parents ask who did it. Instead of making up an excuse, he admits it right away. This shows his moral integrity.
Perhaps a political figure. Politicians often hold high positions and have a great deal of power. They can make decisions that affect a large number of people, so in the context of this story, the 'man higher up' might be a politician who is using his power in different ways, either for the good of the people or for his own self - interests.

One 'a light man short story' could be about a man who discovers he has the ability to emit a soft glow. In the story, he might initially be afraid of this unique trait. But as the plot unfolds, he realizes he can use it to help others, like guiding lost hikers in the dark forest at night.
As I'm not aware of the exact 'Man Up' short story, it's difficult to determine its theme precisely. However, if we consider the title, it could deal with a male character's transformation. Maybe he starts off as a bit of a coward or irresponsible person, and then through a series of events, he 'mans up'. This could be related to things like standing up for himself or others, learning to be more reliable, or finding the courage to pursue his dreams in a more masculine way, whatever that might mean in the context of the story.
